In to the Pit


New Photograph is called - Terminal Adjustment



Ok ………..get those trees chopped down and put them over the pit ……………….
…………… the Triceratops will be along soon ………………

Nah - just having you on :)


I reckon Wed’s gig probably deserves one of these to itself – so here goes…….

Certain types of music hit you on different levels and thrash metal is definitely primeval , although I’m not quiet sure what that says about the audience in general - and I include myself in that statement :)

I ‘ve been to lots of gigs at the Academy but this one was absolutely jam packed , and it never ceases to amaze me the amount of long haired young people and indeed families who go to these gigs , remember if you believe , all for instance the music industry and their recent Brit Awards - preach , this music is and never was “fashionable” - if that’s the right word to use .

The gig itself was good , but I wont go in to it as I’m not a professional reviewer and unless you like the bands it will be of little or no interest to you anyway , although I have been writing a bit of a biography for a while and there are certain gig reviews on there but that’s mainly for my own personal reasons , hmmmmm - not that I can remember very much , as it is on floppy disc , written on a Win 98 program and guess what , it won’t even run on my current version ……….. rats :)

Anyway – yes our viewing enjoyment was punctuated by Evil Don’s ex wife collaring certain members of the male population , and telling them off for leaving certain messages on her Facebook page , the messages and her dialog - I simply cannot repeat on here :), but believe you me , these guys faces were absolute pictures when they got cornered and verbally baseball batted :)

I always reckon – don’t say anything to anyone on the net , you wouldn’t say to their faces, hence me smiling and saying - “ unfortunately - it is now…….. “ in response to her shouting “ its not funny – it’s not funny” ……..for ages afterwards …….
………and yes even she started laughing in agreement – eventually :)

I really, really have to be careful with my humour because of my personal
appearance and attitude , as unfortunately , people who don’t really know me ,
can really take my wisecracks the wrong way , and the rule with me is if it sounds humours - it usually is :),

I always think conveying the fact that someone is being unreasonable through humour is a good way of disarming a situation , and it does work :)


After the gig we dropped Don’s ex off and his daughter came out to talk to us.

Now - she’s a lively 17 yr old punk gal , and was showing us her new various tattoos in the street at 11.30 !! , and generally chatting about her new interests in art and design and showing us her portfolio - well in to the night , and guess who was just wearing a t- shirt ……….now where’s my spear ………….GRRRRRRRRRRR :)

Seriously , its nice to know our legacy is still alive with the kids – perfect end to a perfect evening :)
