This may strike many as unsuprising, but often chilli sauce is a pile of wank.

Agreed. I find that a lot of the time, spicy anything is disappointing as fuck. Took me a hell of a long time to find some 'spicy' southern fried chicken that I'd actually class as properly spicy.

I had the same problem. Got some stuff from the local shop, and was so used to spicy stuff being shit that I put half the packet into the curry I was making. Ended up so spicy that it made my gums bleed. :ugh:

I've managed to get a guy to take me shopping in Cardiff tomorrow. I have ultimate power. Plus, I'm off to Italy in less than 3 weeks :D

I've been wanting to go to venice for ages, but it's hard to convince people to go with me when it's a choice between canals or some random place with cheap booze. Also everybody is poor and it's supposed to be expencive as hell or something.

I didnt like the place at all, but its all dependent on what you look for. The campsite we were in, was well odd. We had a situation where one side, we had 4 Swedish guys next to us with an abundance of booze (over 2 pints), oh and the camping ground was a euro a night which wasnt to be fucked with (two plus points of Venice), only to get wiped out by the unisex showers. Id been at a week long festival in Slovenia, I needed at least 30 minutes peace and quiet? What did I get, loads of noisy French girls shouting their fucking retarded language at each other, which made me want to bail.


...or as it transpires in June 2009, invade Strasbourg.



This picture: Taken in Venice just about sums mine and my Polish friend Ralf's impression of Venice.

Unfortunately: This is the best thing that can be seen from Italy.

We do everything on a shoe string, so im thinking minimal. We're flying to Slovenia, questing the capital city for a day, then off to Croatia by bus or train. Then returning to Slovenia for Metal Camp, and im trying to twist his arm to go and visit Zagreb so I can add that to my growing clientelle of unnecessary travelling bullshit, that I can boast to my friends when they're stuck in somewhere badly cunt like Greece or Spain.

Actually had fun. Kieran's great to DJ with, and he let me wander off for half an hour at a time :)
Plus people I wanted to see were out, yay :) not all, but a large chunk of them!
Then free taxi ride home.

Burial got through to the final of the Battle For Bloodstock thing in Manchester tonight. I'd like to think my windmill headbanging and *ahem* fisting in the name of metal throughout their set contributed to their success! :lol:

Croatian buses are the most terrifying shit ever, hurtling along cliff paths at top speed so not for the faint of heart. Also? If you lose anything, the police are shit so you have to call the higher level of police who then make a call and tell the local guys in little places to shut up and help you out. Umm and their currency is stupid, but the country is awesome.

Whereabouts in Croatia are you going? Rovinj is my favourite, and it's right near the Slovenian border/the bit they've just finished disputing over. Dubrovnik also awesome, Zagreb is okay.
