Took a while for mine (The George Hotel, Whittlesey) to appear on there. But there's plans to open loads more 'spoons this year, so I'm sure it'll happen soon :yes:

Listening to Ghost Brigade has made me get my Rickenbacker out and play it. It's a fantastic sounding rhythm guitar!
If it sounds good, listen to it

Work is awesome, new house is fucking immense. No internet though, so a quick update from work while I've got a quiet moment.

Our internet should be activated next Monday, so Fjar and I will be back posting regularly then :P

Ciao!

Got my exam results today, managed to get a 2:1 in each exam and each module. At one stage after one of my exams I worked out that I only needed 7% in the exam to pass the module, and was still unsure if I'd manage it as it went that badly, turns out I got 67% in that exam.

So yeah basically, it turns out I have no idea if I do will in exams or not :lol:
I'm running 1000km (6 Marathons, 26 Half Marathons & 20 10ks) this year so sponsor me ya bastards!

The Anvil/Girlschool show on Thursday has been moved to the main room of the o2.

Anyone who has been to the Academy 2 in Bristol will realize that this is a huge plus.

They've probably just sold 10 extra tickets to my mates and I alone just by switching rooms!!

Well done :yes:

WHMMHT?

The Waterstones bug bit me again!

Somehow left the shop two books heavier than when I went in - Gardens of the Moon by Steven Erikson (sick of being told to read the Mazalam books) and The White Queen by Phillipa Gregory (I get a little bit nerdy about the War of the Roses, when it's set.)

Oh, and I reduced the sales assistant to a blithering idiot like normal :lol:

Also WMMHT: 3 dreads are merging. It's gonna be a proper chunky monkey when it grows out.
