Remembering the names of all the Mr Men in the work's quiz! Why can't I remember the important stuff! :lol:

Actually work has been a bit easier than usual all round today ... even managed to get a tea break and get the lowdown on the last two Maiden gigs. Consensus was they were excellent ... though the reviewers fully admit they are totally biassed! I work with Janick's sister and cousin.

That's why I didn't bother with one. Sabbat did rule though.

Problem is, when you're support on a tour with certain bands you have to sell your shirts at the same price as the Headliner act. Hence the price difference.

Having a 5 hour listening session with Fatboy to this years Bloodstock submission packs that have come in so far.....the overall standard was surprisingly rather high....however some people really should do their homework before submitting applications to a metal festival!!!

I'm all for diversity and all that, but a 20 piece Korean performance percussion troupe and an Irish "classical jazz played with gypsy flamboyance" ensemble?

Today I arrived at work at 9:15am. At 9:30 the boss strolled in and told us we could bugger off at 10.
Tidied my desk, browsed my webcomics and this board then sloped off.
Jammy or what?
