:D

Legendary Anglo-Australian hard rockers AC/DC will enter a studio in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada in May, presumably to begin recording their first new material since 2008's "Black Ice" album. In addition, the band will celebrate its 40th anniversary this year by playing 40 shows around the world.

See, I love this. Particularly in a tent, but it's good at home as well. hearing the smack of the rain on the windows while I'm nice and warm in my bed. Awesome stuff.

It's hard to see that being anywhere other than Download or Sonisphere. Although I guess they might just do their own show at the O2 or something.

Explain this 'carry out' I thought it was just the irish way of saying takeaway.

Oh a carry out is basically booze bought from the shop. Some pubs also sell booze to take with you when you are leaving, hence this random guy having the beers he gave me.

Spent the early evening swanning around my flat, drinking Old Fashions.

Awesome.

Also, I might have just bought a muddler...

Absolutely, although it's a fair bit harder to appreciate that at festivals when you know what the ground will become :lol:

A wonderful shift today - run off my feet doing clinical stuff; felt like a proper nurse. I'm really coming round to this dementia care - being able to hold patients' hands and take them cups of tea and comfort them is so different to other places I've been. 'The ladies' are all so fecking sweet.
