..School holidays !
(http://www.4smileys.com/smileys/seasons-smileys/hotness.gif)
-
I'll second that. The long journey into work takes half the time when the kids (and you teachers) are off school.
-
My garden is saying thank you to the rain.
It looks much happier now !
:)
-
Going on holiday oop north tomorrow.
North Dalton in Yorkshire.
Not been before, so I'm looking forward to it.
Anywhere to look out for ?
Going to visit Whitby and York and do doubt the seaside at some point.
Hope the weather is nice ,not tooo hot like today.
:)
-
WW, get yourself to the Pickering steam ralley which is on until Sunday. Tale your wellies, though. I'd be there myself, but a new arrival has cancelled our summer trip this year :) Have a great time up north. Ah, there is also a great veggie cafe in Grassington. And see if you can get to Brimham Rocks near Ripon.
-
Sutton Bank, not that close to where you will be but the views on a clear day are well worth it
-
Stop off at Robin Hoods Bay on your way to Whitby :)

Fish and chips at Trenchers in Whitby is a must, though as Stompy13 has mentioned a veggie cafe, I'm not sure if you are vegetarian, in which case it's a mustn't ! ::)
Agree with Shush about Robin Hoods Bay. Lovely little place with a great little pub called Ye Dolphin.
Riveaulx Abbey is a pretty impressive ruin !
https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=Rievaulx+Abbey,+Rievaulx,+Ryedale+District&hl=en&ll=54.257265,-1.113846&spn=0.000025,0.013797&sll=54.305908,-1.102924&sspn=0.050579,0.175781&oq=riveau&t=h&hq=Rievaulx+Abbey,&hnear=Rievaulx,+North+Yorkshire,+United+Kingdom&z=16&layer=c&cbll=54.257245,-1.118023&panoid=SqGqYpnfLWgEu3l2-Abxvw&cbp=12,58.54,,0,-14.5
York itself is also an interesting city to wander around.
-
I've no idea if Witch is veggie or not, but it's still a great cafe and you can take your dog in as well :) There is also a great cafe on the way up to the Abbey in Whitby through an archway on the right, but I can't remember the name of it for the life of me...can you help me out?
Filey Brigg is another good spot to get a bit of sea air, but Filey is a bit naff as a town, though. (Hope I haven't offended anyone :-[)
-
Got a bit of interwap signal !
We went to Whitby and we had fish and chips at The Magpie as (recommended by Rick Stein, off the telly) and they were lovely. The piece of lemon sole Jarrad (my younger son) had would of been enough to feed all of us ! Delish !
Went on a boat ride and did the Dracula experience (of course, rude not to). Saw the Abbey, can't miss it really.
I'm not a vegimaterian, I'm a gutsy cow and will eat anything, so any food is good food to me.
Had a lovely pub lunch in Goodmanham yesterday.
Going to York later on today. Mark went there when he was younger and I've never been, nor has Jarrad. There is a cat trail/walk thing that I want to go on, so that will be good.
The cottage has a little tabby visitor which is a surprise added bonus because I'm missing my two little black cats.
Laters, taters.
:)
-
...you'll need to visit the cat shop in York then :)

what make me happy is when i met Jonathan Davis from Korn last Tuesday in Paris (Fr) i still can't believe it lol i sometimes take photos for a Metal webzine and last week, three persons and I met the korn's singer for an itw, in a beautiful hotel. I've never been to such a place before. The itw went very well. JD is very kind, simple, cool, very very touching. I took photos during the itw and at the end i had a photo with him. I told him two simple sentences i had to tell him since a very long time. He was very touched by my words and gave me a hug i didn't except at all. I was very surprised by that and also very very touched. The three persons who were with me told me this moment was very moving. It's an unforgettable moment for me. I really hope to cross his path once again. He's a really nice guy as Munky (guitar player) and Head (Guitar player) who were also in the hotel. they're 40 or little bit more and i can say they're really better than they were in the past.
(sorry for my broken english :/
-
What makes me happy is reading or speaking with people who speak broken English - there is something incredibly beautiful in a Berliners or a Spaniards or Greek or anyplace out of this Monkeyland take on the English language - just beautiful.
-
lol
thx!
-
Sparkling wine (or ordinary wine for that matter), curry, chocolate. All things that are "bad" for me.
Also, spending time with my fella. Which I think is probably pretty good for me. ;D
-
how pleased to see me ,my dog hillage is when i return home from anywhere his tail wags so much his whole body shakes :) :)
-
polishing my new doc martens ;D
-
A return to the proper British weather....
-
A return to the proper British weather....
oh YES!! I'm a complete failure at being Australian. I HATE hot weather with a vengeance.
-
I always sit inside the pub on hot days to avoid the glare of the sun!
-
On holiday to the Peak District for a week in a few days, so a bit more warm weather would be nice - please !
-
one good thing about the cooler weather is the lack of midges,they were serious this year ,it was almost death by midgey. :D :D

That is definitely a good thing - as is the lack of wasps. I hate those things with a passion.
-
My bro' and I were talking about wasps a couple of weeks ago. We decided they're quite rock 'n' roll and like stuff like early Metallica, Slayer and Sepultura (not W.A.S.P though). Then we decided dragonflies like prog and stag beetles like industrial.
Yes, we were pissed up. :D

only thing i think you got wrong is stag beetles - i'm sure they are metal fans as they have the 'metal horns' on there heads! no need for raising arms and wasting energy, now that's evolution
i did hear earwigs like W.A.S.P.

;D ;D I reckon you're right about stag beetles, come to think of it. Lovin' the thought of earwigs liking W.A.S.P! Greenflies like x-factor crap ;D
-
gigs and report photos that will start at the end of the month :) first one is My Sleeping Karma and Color Haze
-
Decency and respect from strangers to people like me - really that goes for anyone who doesn't fit into a "normal" litttle box
-
OK, not something that makes me truly happy, just a thing that made me laugh... my Mum likes the TV show 'Big School'... there was a joke in last weeks episode about a support group for the kids that was an acronym of 'SPAFF' and the kids laughed their arses off...
My dear old Mum, over a very nice lunch, actually asked me what 'spaffing' meant... what's worse, my stepdad started laughing... :o
An awkward lunch, but I can laugh about it now... I think...
-
:-[
I had to Google that !
Oeerrr.

Thanks Barty.
It has been hard. The usual story,young,no real experience.
He worked Saturdays in a working mans club for a year then the work ran out.
He starts work this weekend in a big Wetherspoons in town.
So chuffed for him because he was getting really down about being out of work.
:)
-
Sounds like he's just the type of lad that deserves a job. Good luck to him. I think they're a pretty decent employer too.
-
Good Luck - I know a couple of people who work for Wetherspoons and they seem to be quite happy with their lot :)

"Money In The Bank" (P. G. Wodehouse)! Serious, though, being sure that NMA are going to play South America next year (in Sao Paulo, to be precise) and that I'm going to be able to attend without not having to give an arm and a leg for a ticket. So there! :D

Come home to find a little bat flying around my front room !
:)
Jet and Ebony were sat on top the telly watching it swoop around,but neither owned up to bringing it in.
:-\
Mark said I couldn't keep it and scooped it up in a fishing net and let it go in my garden.
:'(
(http://www.4smileys.com/smileys/halloween-smileys/bat3.gif)
-
Ha Ha funny you should mention bats... someone at work has brought a load of chocolate covered gingerbread bats in as the boss is off and we are all having an easy day 8)
-
Bats are very cool ! My girlfriend and I once stayed at a campsite near Robin Hoods Bay in North Yorkshire, and there was a footpath that had numerous trees on both sides. In the evenings there were so many bats swooping around there - we could stand a couple of feet apart and have them flying between us. It was great, and we nicknamed the path "Bat Alley" ! Whenever we're staying somewhere new on holiday, we always look out for them on Summer evenings. I remember a few years ago, one Spring day, around midday looking out into the back garden, and seeing something which at first glance looked like a brown leaf fluttering down from a tree, until I realised it wasn't just falling but flitting about. There were also lots of little swarms of dancing gnats and things about and I saw that it was a bat actively hunting them, which was very unusual to see in daylight. I took it to be a bat that had just woken up from hibernation and was feeling very hungry !!
-
A very nice postcard from the UK makes me very happy today :) :) :)
Thank you very much and good night ;)
-
Bought my tickets for Frome yesterday.
I hope they finish the referb before we go there to play. It's only half size at the moment and it will be rather busy.

Fantastic weekend away in Chester with the girlfriend with no kids :)
Stayed in brilliant but expensive hotel and loved every minute of it.
-
Chester is a bloody lovely place! In fact, I'm at a bit of a loose end tomorrow, might pop over for a quick visit!
-
I had a lovely holiday based in Chester a few years ago too.
:)
-
I've been a few times but this time we did things we'd not done before.
We went on a bus tour round the city. It is an old bus made in 1914 and the woman doing the talking is absolutely mad. It is worth it just to listen to her.
Had afternoon tea as well. That was great... cake and scones 8)
-
If you go to Chester, its worth walking 'around the walls' that encompass the city, should take between 1 and 2 hours and such a nice thing to do.
And, if you're lucky, you might find Ed AJ busking, he does it quite a lot in Chester, seen him many a time...
-
Yes we walked the walls. It's a great way to see the city :)
-
My mate saw Ed busking in Chester a few years ago.I was in Malta working.I get a phonecall from said mate,who asked Ed to play intro to Vagabonds down the phone for me.Never forget it. ;D
-
Whilst we're still on the subject of Ed in Chester, here's a lovely vid from Youtube (with some nice clips of Chester itself)...

10p pumpkins in Sainsburys.
I've made enough pumkin and pecan loaf and a huge vat of pumpkin soup, to feed an army.
:)

Hmmm, could you pop some pumpkin soup in an envelope and send it me please....? ;D
-
The postman would love that !
;D

Riding through the hills on my mountain bike listening to NMA on the ipod........simple, energising and healthy!

happy because NMA 's gig in Paris (Fr) is very soon. I'm going to discover the new songs 'Live' so i'm really curious to see how they sound. I'm sure it will be good, because i always prefer 'Live' version than 'studio' version.
-

So... after six months of deeply worrying unemployment, I got a call that says that, yes, I am now rejoining the arena of the employed, starting Jan 2nd!
:D
It's not a perfect job, but I'm so relieved, I had a pretty decent redundancy payment but it was running out fast and now I can start making plans for the things that really matter again, now that I'm gonna have a few quid coming in! And I met quite a few people, also unemployed, who had it a lot worse than I did...
So, Yay me! Just what I wanted for Christmas!
;D
-
Well done mate.
I hope this will see you back on the NMA trail 2014 !! :)
-
Cool! :)
-
Cheers, guys. I WILL be at the next NMA gig on these shores...
-
Well done Master Ray
Cheers

That's fantastic news mate - really pleased for you.
Have a good Christmas.
Barty :)
-
Congrats Master Ray!!!!! :)
-
well done Master Ray :)
i really wish that kind of stuff happen to me...but i'm unemployed since so long time that sometimes i think i'll never get a job.
I hold on to my photos, i can get a bit of money sometimes but it's very difficult to earn my life with that... i must have a job to have enough money to live and help my half to pay what we have to pay...
-

That breaks my heart to hear you say that, Steph D... but please don't give up. A while back, I was unemployed for two years. I really, really struggled, as it sounds like you are doing right now. It's so f-ing hard to get by, especially when so many people regard the unemployed as living the life of Riley... they're getting loads of free money at the taxpayers expense! >:( I know what bullshit that is, truly I do. I know what it's like to apply for job after job and get nowhere...
But then, back then and totally out of the blue, I applied for yet another job and was therefore gainfully employed for five years... I'd still be there if it wasn't for the gleeful destruction of the NHS by this government... but that's for another thread...
Bottom line, good stuff does happen. I truly hope it happens to you as it did to me. You never know when the lightning will strike...
Big internet hug coming your way...
-
thanks so much for your words Master Ray.. that go straight to my heart really . Thx again.

Congrats Ray - Well Done and good luck in your new job :)

Good luck everyone !

My youngest Son got me an A4 sized NMA logo, signed by the band he found on ebay for Xmas.
:) :) :)
-
I'm so happy with the huge box I received from NMA shopkeepers few weeks ago. Two t-shirts (the black dogs tees), Carnival, Lost Songs double-cd, three coffee mugs and a cap with classical logos on them. I received the box the same day I had to send one of the mugs as a Christmas gift to a true NMA fan and long time friend - and it succeeded... I'm also so happy with the BDAW which in my opinion is one of the best NMA albums... The songs keep playing in my mind every single day.
Cheers / Love / hugs & take care,

Hey, they are a great and famous team. I've always been wondering where do they practise!? We've been watching the Olympics too. My wife's so happy with the success from cross-sountry skiing. Just waiting yet the last competitions of ice hockey, because Finns won Russia today and will go to finals either on Sat or Sunday.
-
I watched the ice hockey too I really enjoy it. I went to an NHL game in the US once.
Well Done Finland and good luck.

Bugger! Finland vs. Sweden challenge is today! I have to see it although I'm at work! It's starting at 14:00 our time so there's only 2 tiny hours left. :D
Danny, it may be that this is the end. There's always so much passion with this particular and legendary set up with neighboring countries. That's Love & Hate.
But too often it ends up with Sweden mopping floors with us... >:(

Your English is top notch Rusco, I only realised from posts in recent weeks that you were Finnish.
We on these Isles would have to admit a level of arrogance with our language, we kind of expect everyone to speak it, and to be fair, most other nations seem to teach it very well. Learning foreign languages here seems less of a priority

We do. I've met so many people from 'foreign' lands who speak and write better English than a lot of us folk...
-
Your English is top notch Rusco [...]
Thanks a lot, Shush. But in history there have been couple of issues here too where I've used a totally contrary term than what I had to. Then the meaning goes upside down and the party time of confusing mess is right there, hehe. Also, I guess at times I may use some funny or a bit strange words that you as native speaking English men would hardly never use in the situation, or there's a too strong meaning for the case.

There are few accents that I've found quite difficult with English in general. Scottish for example, and I remember a case where I really had to give up finally after a 5 min long try of conversation :-\.
In Finland we have to decide in schools do we take a long or short study period of English and Swedish. On the other hand, Swedish is the second official language. Most of the Finnish can speak quite fluent English, but pronounciation is not so good - even terrible at times. You probably know formula drivers Kimi Raikkonen and Mika Hakkinen? Aaand the legendary ski jumper Matti Nykaenen? :) Their pronounciation is just terrible.

Just bought a original 70s/80s Anti Nazi League Badge on ebay

Don't worry Rusco, there are many accents over here I also have difficulty understanding ;D

^^^^brilliant
one all against bayern. for no other reason than to take out some frustration
no matter what anyone thinks. problems run deep. and with 150m to spend even a dope would have you competing. which might enough for the money men. i don't want to be an arsenal fan

Just Booked a 7 day vacation for my summer trip. In a little over 2 months I will be on on a Beach in Aruba chilling out with a drink or many drinks in my hand ;D under my palapa listening to some NMA among other artist at my Oceanfront Resort. Life is Good ;D ;)

fantastic news ray and anna
mine is a little simpler. waiting for a chinois to soak up the devils bit whilst watching season one of sherlock.

Triple header today - guess it must be a good day!
1 - Finally one of the local kids stopped being too scared of his mates/embarrassed/fearful to talk to me.
2 - Got 2 messages off OK Cupid :o
3 - Checked out my youtube video and I've got 213 views! Far out!!!!

I liked this weekend a lot although my headache is still immanent. Yesterday we chopped some wood and started to fill a new 6 cubic meters rack for them. I call it "a rack" because it's built on heavy pallets without walls; just several stilts carrying the roof above it. Today our neighbours also came over here and called us for a cup of coffee and cake. We went there and they are a very nice family. Now I've drank couple of beers as well and go sleep soon. Getting ready for the next week... :)

Skool hols.

Oh, lovely. Finally my mate helping with timber work arrived. When I peel of the logs and find all the worms, I remove the tree cover and put the pieces on a stone like a plate. And Robin come over and eat the worms.

Just laid down final plans to meet with some old friends tomorrow night... one of our number now lives abroad but is over for a few days...
In the mid-90's, we were in a band together... possibly the worst band that ever formed on Gods sweet earth... but we had so many laughs in the couple of years we were playing. And on the very rare occasions we've all hooked up since, we've added a thousand more laughs to that score, remembering all the stupid shit we did...
It's fun to be in a band, even if you're awful... :D

president higgo's trip to the UK. great man

president higgo's trip to the UK. great man
Um.... ????????
-
irish president is on a state visit to the UK. He said that this is not about amnesia, it is not about forgetting the past. also its about drawing a line in the sand and looking forward with cherished friends, the people of england.
i thought is was a nice touch
and then to portray just how good this guy is i gave him a nickname - president higgo
-
Ah, get it now, thanks for that.
-
here he is at his best
no joke ray, this deserves a thread of its own

I tend to lose track of dates, being kind of a vague person at the best of times... ;)
So what made me happy today was suddenly realising that NMA in Warrington is just a week and half away!
:D

That one day you catch each Spring when everything hangs together just beautifully - the lime green of the birch, hornbeam and hazel leaves, the russet green of the oaks, the new fronds from the ferns and underneath the lot a sea of electric blue from the bluebells. Sometimes the Garden Of England actually lives up to it's billing.

singing along to my favourite songs whilst cooking tea,with a couple of my many children on backing vocals :D

I FINALLY got a music-loving mate into NMA and it looks like he'll be joining us for Nottingham... :D
Oh, to be an NMA virgin again... ;)
-
Well done, we have lots of lists of how we would do it but not many success stories, what was the winning formula that you used.
Cheers

I think the best way to get new fans to "shanghaid" is to play the music at the background now and then, different albums and not to mention about the band at all. It may take for a while but later on, sooner or later they'll ask what the band is. At last, when you put Navigating By The Stars in to the player.
-
Oi Ray! - What JC said.
How d'ya do it? How did you manage to convert the poor bugger!
;D
-
thunder and consolation
followed by live rarities
if they don't like them after that then........well
try then the first four off the love of hopeless causes
play the first four songs off eight and a little snelsmore wood
then some big guitars
if they don't like them after that then........don't tell anybody you know them....ok?
-
Well not happy but LAUGHING out loud! ;D I read an article today that there's been some research to find out who / what ethnical culture have the biggest heads. The result is us! Finns have the most enormous skulls in the world! I'm a big head. ;D

Just managed to get a awesome tribal mask My mates runs a small second hand shop n has a stall at the car boot sale.Had my eye on the mask for a few weeks but funds were low finally managed to some serious haggling n trading and bring it home where it belongs.

The only time i am ever truly happy is among nature or music. I go on bike rides at 4 in the morning. it really dark because there are no street lights where I ride. I have a couple of very weak bike lights so it's like blindly riding and that feeling of fear/excitement, adrenaline.I ride until the sun comes up and there are no cars or people on the road. Just the occasional rabbit or nocturnal animal. I am then momentarily happy.

Seeing who's on-line as I type this, my lesser spotted mates these days, Barty and Ruckdout :), oh and you Heno ;)

yeah, I've been distracted with all sorts including this aching back so lurking more than posting
-
oh don't start me off on aches and pains. Arthritis, tendonitis, I already did a big post tonight.
Also, M/Ray would need to chip in with his dodgy back. :o

What makes me happy...?
Talking to you lovely buggers.

Picking up turtles on the road and bringing them to the safety of the river and prevent them from being killed by cars. Just knowing that I saved them and getting close up to wild-life is amazing.
-
That's great Amandistan you helped them.
We're so happy about the huge amount of bird's nests in our garden right now which is full of life. The little birds make so funny noise there. I & my wife actually love birds. :)
I just hope our neighbour understands to keep their cat inside the house. It's a master hunter.

Being able to get back online after a few days with my phone cut off thanks to not being able to pay the bill... :D

Finally, after quite a good number of years, finally finding and making contact with someone you were romantically involved with 'back in the day' and that relationship had a bit of a horrible ending... and then having a bit of an internet 'chat' and putting all that awful stuff to rest.
I'm sure a lot of us have had bad relationships in the past, but we've grown up and can see those same people as friends. I feel so much better for this.

Does anyone else use the "add to buddies" list facility. I got four buddies on-line at this time. :)
-
what does it do?
-
When you log on, if there is a few on-line, it will say, 1, 2 buddies on-line, and highlight their name. To add people, click on their name, the add to your list option is there. Now at this time, I still got four. Barty has gone off, but Brian-DC has joined.
-
The fact that my body-fat percentage is now 20% (which is in the athletic range) after being considered over-weight a year and a half ago. Also having the knowledge to help other people live a healthier lifestyle.
-
oh I like that one. how did you do it? whats improvements did you make at the outset?

got it. I never think of checking who is online to be honest. in fact I think my browser is almost permanently connected anyway.

Good for you Amandistan.
What is the point of the buddy thing then chaps or am I missing something? There's that bit at the bottom of the main board page which tells ya' who's online so what does it add? (I am a Luddite ;D )
-
I think I mentioned, quite a while back, about how my beloved and deceased Grand-dad was an MBE war hero and a big figure in the Royal British Legion... when he passed away, he was commemorated in a RBL stall at my local market, complete with copper plaque and everything... but Cheshire East council (bastards) have thrown them out in favour of, I dunno, something that will pay more ******* money or something... >:(
Well, the RBL have a new home, just up the road, and there's a big new (re)dedication ceremony tomorrow morning, 10AM, at the new 'Ernest Cope Centre', dedicated to all war veterans and ex-army folks who might need a little help...
I will be there, in a rarely smart condition, so proud of my Grand-dad... :'(

A simple bus trip across the countryside (Stewarton to Irvine in Ayrshire Scotland) approximately 10 miles each way
Just the amazing beauty of the countryside on a summer's day the different shades of the fields the elevation changes, the trees,cows and sheep, the farmer out working the with the birds swooping over his tractor and the hills of the Isle of Arran in background.
I love the world lol
-
Ran into an old friend / workmate today, who I haven't seen in 7 or 8 years, and it was just like yesterday...
Even better, we popped into a nearby pub and he was completely happy to buy the drinks (seeing as he's working and I'm not, right now, and I'm pretty broke) without any expectation from me for him to do so... he was just happy to catch up and be in my company.
Well, that's my faith in human nature restored a bit... :D
Be warned, though, I've had a few drinks so I might post some utter bollocks later...
;D
-
The fact that i get my first day off work in 10 days. Only I have to wait until Saturday.

Proper Sunny dayz ;)

This is gonna sound really British but the weather being that bit cooler today
Yesterday was the hottest day Scotland has seen in over 9 years

Does this mean that those small, loud and annoying things are unleashed on the streets again... what are they called again? Oh yeah, 'children'...
:(
Just kidding, hope the kiddies have a lovely summer. Also, teachers.

I loose count of how many parents say "What am I going to do with them for 6 weeks ?". I usually say "All the things you don't have time for during school time", with a slightly sarky smile, or "Cook, read, talk, walk, laugh, play that doesn't cost anything." Or.. " 6 weeks ? More like 20 years because that's how long he/she will hang around for!".
>:(
;)
:)
-
lol
anyway, big L takes a call this morning from a friend who has found a kitten that is no more than 4 days old. she goes out there and finds two more. it so happens that we have a cat that has 3 kittens of her own that are now 3 weeks old and thriving. L took the current kittens away from the mother and gave them to our doting jack russell Dot who is taking care of them. and the mother cat is now nursing the 3 orphans.

Send um out to work, cleaning cars, cutting lawns, shining shoes :(

they're kittens shush....

The kittens or the kids ?
:D

Well I suppose the kids could shine shoes with the kittens ? ::)
-
oh my jello
next you'll be impaling them on sticks and using them as self cleaning feather dusters
-
Instead of hamsters ?
-
Just got my Justin Sullivan t shirt with the changing of the light lyrics on the back (good old ebay lol) Think nma related t shirts are my new collection
-
Instead of hamsters ?
ahahaha
coming back in here after a long day and seeing loads of interesting new posts - feels good
-
Don't ask me about shining shoes... had a nasty situation during a holiday in Chicago a couple of years back... it turned out OK but I genuinely thought that it might turn bad... ask my mate Dan if you see him... :(

thats a little cryptic ray
guess its a funny story.....in the end

Not a funny story, mate, but one that was a bit worrying at the time... me and my mate, during our Chicago holiday, were coming back from a baseball game, a few beers inside us, and some guy who called himself 'the shoeshine man' blocked us off and started trying to 'shine our shoes' despite repeated requests for him not to... once he got a couple of swipes on our shoes, he started demanding money and when we refused, he turned it into an angry shouting racial issue (he was a black lad...)... looked like it could turn out a bit nasty but he eventually fucked off, shouting about white people (um, a reverse racial issue?)... bit worrying if you're in the US and you have it, in the back of your mind, that guns are legal there... :(
Anyway, this is supposed to be a 'happy' thread... my out-of-work situation looks like it might get better in the next couple of weeks... God knows I need it, cash is well tight right now... :o

Nope, mate, only been to The Forum (cracking good venue, by the way) once, back in 2006 for Lacuna Coil.
But if you can make it to Nottingham in December, I'll do my best to stand behind you for that one!

Anyway, after being desperately and horribly unemployed for a while and assuming my references check out (which they should do... ???) then... YAY, I GOT A JOB!!!!!
Been out of work for about eight months, haven't been able to pay the bills, money worries mounting up... such awful shit when much of the UK populace think that unemployed folk are just like those awful cunts on shows like BENEFIT STREET...
I can't believe to say how relieved I am...

good news ray, happy for you. hope it all works out.

Nice one Master Ray.

Cracking good Monday for me... new job started and it looks pretty promising (shame about the big drop in pay but **** it, I'm just happy to have a job :D ) and then a big meet with old friends at a great curry house... these were old pals who don't see each other nearly enough and who used to be in what we quite cheerfully admit was probably 'the worse band in the world' back in the mid-90's... ;D
Those old war stories never get any less funny / bizarre / 'shit, were we REALLY like that????' :o
Been a bad few months, but yesterday was a hell of a pick-up...
-
well, its been a week at the new job. how is it going ray?
-
Only another week to take of this referendum stuff Gawd my brain hurts Then again they will probably bang on about it for weeks months after what ever the result Can only Scotland does the right thing but this is probably not the place to air my views on it
-
Personally, I would like you to air your views on it. Maybe worth a separate thread. It will have implications for the whole U.K. if Scotland leaves.
-
well, its been a week at the new job. how is it going ray?
Yes, come on M/R, what are you new colleagues like, have you picked out a victim yet for some office romance ?
-
victim is the wrong word shush bro
maybe deposit acount beneficiary of the master ray love fund is suitable
-
Aw, you buggers... >:( ;D
Job going fine, although brain-twistingly complicated... I've got a Government job dealing with nature conservation in the UK... something I'm quite interested in but, bloody hell, this stuff has to go through a lot of twists and turns before anything actually happens... :o
Big drop in pay from what I was used to, working for the NHS as I did, but I'm just happy to have a job... better people than me do not have the same luxury.
But, yes, I'm happy for two reasons... (a) I actually have a ******* job again :D and (b) I've finally managed to stick on BWAB... opinions will doubtlessly follow shortly.
-
fantastic mate. glad to hear it.
i'm very interested in the conservancy space too as some of our products are being feared towards the citizen facing content that can be produced for awareness, education and sustainability. when you get your feet under the table you might explain more.

Wow, guys, flattered that you're all so interested in my new job, I'll do my best to keep you informed but, quite frankly, I'm just trying to figure how the bloody labyrinth-y computer system works!!!
But if I find out anything interesting about hedgerows, buffers and water voles, I'll be in touch...
;D

don't forget the trees

NEVER FORGET THE TREES !!!!!!!
Ray - awesome stuff mate. Nature Conservancy huh? Be afraid - you're coming into my zone now ;D
-
[...] It will have implications for the whole U.K. if Scotland leaves.
So may I ask how is it there now? That sounds a bit exotic here you know. Your history is so unrivaled.

Woah, I think I missed the news you had a new job Ray. Nice one ! And sounds like a great area to be working in, complicated as it may be !
As for me, just had a lovely week down at the far end of Cornwall (now I know why Sennen Cove is significant in NMA lyrics etc. What a gorgeous place. Not visited Sennen before), and came back to find BWAB cds waiting for me. Surefire way to banish post holiday blues :o)

Something a bit different. A 5p levy came into force today in Scotland for carrier bags. I know Wales and Northern Ireland already have similar schemes and England plan to bring in one soon. I certainly don't mind paying 5p if it helps the environment plus most of the money goes to charity.
Personally I bought a Joolz canvas bag a few weeks ago so i can shop and still look cool lol

Just chilling back - Putting some music that you haven't played for a while A nice mugga tea (nma mug of course) A good roll up of GV, some incense burning away in corner. The blind shut keeping winter outside A couple of lamps given you just enough light, the fire keeping you toasty.

That Abattoir Blues is finally re released on vinyl....Really that has made my week.

Work done for the week, day off tomorrow. Kidderminster, Hebden Bridge................................... ;D ;D ;D ;D

Umm, quite glad about taking today all my timber tools and my oregon & solo regalia to make 3 cubic meters of chopped wood. Today is dedicated to that, yeah.
-
Ok, it looks like next weekend is just around the corner... What I'm happy about, is that I've got fixed some problems recently at my working room. Making more space by devising more shelfs and some boxes. And wow, I have space enough to clean the floors after a long time. And now If we'd only have another shed...
I think I'm going to make some delicious bulgur soya balls too during the weekend and chop some wood outside again. Aaand maybe take few beers too. ;)

I have no idea what 'bulger soya balls' are... but I want them.
I know what beer is, but I think I can manage them by myself.

just coming back in here with all the madness in my world at the moment and seeing old familiar friends full of welcoming posts

A pic here (http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hhxGI07PrUY/UbYzocOZLNI/AAAAAAAAA44/T9k-WctH_VQ/s1600/image.jpg). Well I'm at a practising level with making them. But you can improvise the recipe how you want too. However, if yer interested there's some certain recipe for making them which is the "official" way... I'd like to use some yoghurt based dressing as a sauce with bulgur balls.
Only couple of hours left and I'm at home. I'll offer a drink for you if you wanna join. (Eeeh, Shush I promised the pint for you...?) ;)

Bloody hell, Heno, really hope you can make it, mate. This has the makings of an NMA Forum classic meet...
... although you me and Shush in one place at the same time? How long before the piss-taking becomes so gargantuan than it turns the world on its axis? Anna, you might have to become some kind of referee...
Don't know if you know Nottingham that well but I'm sure that any advice you need will be given post haste. Anything you need, mate... might be an idea to book accommodation asap though, the penultimate Saturday before Christmas? You can book with Premier Inn and cancel if things don't work out... Goldsmith St is the PI of choice for those visiting Rock City...
A pre-gig meet now HAS to happen!

Charity Shops. I love looking through charity shops when i get the chance. Ok 9 outta 10 times i probably don't buy nowt but its all good to look for those unique items that you can't normally find else wear or just that bargain that you might not normally buy and all for a good cause instead of lining the pockets of some big business.
Today i bought 5 cds The Pixies x 3 (death to, trompe le monde and bossanova) The Smiths "rank" and the smashing pumpkins machina all for a couple of quid.

A few hours ago, I found out that the NMA gig in Nottingham was sold out... I left it too late to get a ticket... :-\ :'(
Now it looks like, from a couple of sources, I might be able to get a ticket after all...
As Blur once said... Woo Hoo!

Is rock city sold out The alt tickets website is showing tickets available.
Anyway only 3 weeks to go, its gonna be strange seeing nma with so many people there im used to crowds of a few hundred in Glasgow and Edinburgh

Just been on alt tickets, deffo sold out.
Still working on getting a ticket... **** it, won't be the first time I got into a sold-out gig, one way or another!
Gotta ask, do NMA not have much of a following north of the border? Quite surprised, it's usually a pretty full house down here in England!
-
No not really these days The last gig in November at the Glasgow Garage there was maybe 400 people there, which was ok as the garage only holds about 500. I normally get people coming up to me and talking about the band when I'm out and about with a t shirt etc on.

Agreed :) It was great wasn't it. Was also nice to see how sportsman like Nico was in defeat. Was a shame his car suffered problems, but it was good he wanted to finish the race even when it was clear his hopes were lost completely. Nice that he went to the pre-podium room to congratulate Lewis. After their problems earlier in the year it was good to see.
I will be even happier if Jenson will still be in F1 next year.
-
OK, I made a big deal a while back about getting a new job. I was grateful at the time but it turned out to be utter arsebobbins... a good cause but it was just a bloody ball-ache, coupled with the least-friendly workmates I've ever had misfortune to meet... so I had a meet with my team leader (the only person I liked there) and we agreed that I wasn't happy there, it was stressing me out and I should leave with a great reference....
Started my new job today and it's ******* great. And such terrific folks! I'll fit in here much better.
Also, a really funny TWIN PEAKS reference, but I think there's another thread about that... ;)

Let's see what it will bring. It's not done yet and there are some elections in the future depending on the issue. What I know there's another election
coming on a same time as there's the day of Independence. The question how they will change the laws is yet an question. ;)

Let's see what it will bring.
Mass exodus from the Lutheran church in Finland according to a report I read today. Might be a bad thing or good depending on your point of view.
Possibly getting a new, better job. I was asked to come back after 1st phase of interview.
Good news & good luck :-*
-
There's a mass exodus quite often. It's so easy nowadays as there's a certain website where you can depart by a single click. Well, it seems to be a trend too, and some just do it because it's easy and their friends did it.
-
Not sure this is exactly the right thread.
Anyway the new lower drink drive limit comes into effect in Scotland from Friday down from 80mg to 50mg now as some one that doesn't drive and doesn't drink much it doesn't effect me directly. If the new law even saves one life then of course it's excellent news. Will be a bit strange having two different limits on each side of the border What happens say you have driven from England with 60mg and your stopped just inside Scotland.

Spending time with non-immediate family close to my age. Then smoking weed through a pipe for the first time. Also i don't smoke anything but adapted very well. No chocking and taking 3 big hits followed by one massive 4 in 1 hit.
Then any anxiety issue i had disappeared. Why have i never done this before? The shit is amazing.

Be careful not to smoke too much at once. It can lead to ill informed statements and sweeping judgements. ::)
-
I have been told that not all strains of weed are this good and that some can actually make anxiety worse.
However they got high quality stuff and it worked well. The only issue, is that i would be very fat if i did that everyday.
-
As someone who did a lot of smoking from age 17 till about 10 years ago I've got to say that smoking weed is definitely not a good thing. Whilst it may well have some positive things the negative issues far outweigh them in the long run. Have fun but be careful

I'm going to devise a new door to my working room. There's two rooms that should be divided into different sectors where another is suitable for dusty work and another should be a clean space for print making.
I haven't ever manufactured a door earlier and it's going to be challenging. But I'm excited about the job.

ah, the trades are alive
wouldn't an anarchy be such a wonderful place
you could hang doors for the venue where nma play and in return receive wonderful music and ale
and in return the band are assured of your love and happiness

Hmm, seem to recall having a similar experience last Saturday... ;)

Saw with my husband NMA live today in Cologne brought my husband a really cool NMA mug for X Mas for me a really cool new NMA shirt ;) Thxs a lot for the NMA Merch too :) :) Great job ;) ;) ;)
cheers witch
I have to say, the ONLY thing that disappointed me about Nottingham was the lack of interesting stuff on the merch stall... was looking forward to getting a really nice BWAB T (as I saw so many wearing at the gig) but all the Ts seemed to be reworkings of the usual NMA logo... all well and good but after the amazing Joolz artwork on BWAB, I was hoping for something similar... did it all sell out in London? :(
Whatever, I'll keep an eye on the shop...

Beautiful day and night at Mum and Dads yesterday, back home today and a lovely afternoon with my Brother and his Girlfriend, the Boy is back with his mother, I have a crate of lager, another Christmas dinner that just need warming up and gravy and a lot of Assasins Creed Unity to get through ;D ;D ;D ;D

Hmm, Anna... totally out of the blue, a 'lovely lady' got in touch with me on Christmas Day via FB... someone I used to work with and was very close to for various reasons, but had lost contact with... bad relationship stuff on her part... seems like that issue is now resolved and she's quite up for a meet..? ???
Could be something, might be nothing, but what the heck, let's see where it goes... :o
-
The fact the Christmas is over and no-more crazed shoppers. Now when New years is over i will be even happier. I will finally get some rest. Being a chef/cook becomes a lot harder and exhausting during this time. I am happy that it is half way over.

Apparently my arse is worth a whistle :D :D :D ;D ;D :o that bloke should have gone to Specsavers shouldn't he ;D
Taking the piss out of myself aside - it made my day yesterday and it's still making me smile tonight. And sod yer PC stuff (although I don't really mean that and normal service will be resumed shortly) It's made me happy

Space, I will reply here as you are likely to delete you own topic again. Do not feel sorry for my family and friends. They are one of the same, and many are here on this board. We have respect for each other and good times together. If you ever find the time to see NMA live and meet up with such people, you may yourself find out what that is all about.
It is certainly not about posting half arsed insults to each other.
I suggest you try facebook. we are not too fond of trolling here.
I am sure you do have some interest in NMA and the fine music, but if you want to discuss this with people here, you are going to need to show your fellow forum members a bit of respect.
Again I will re-state. I believe in my honest own opinion, JS is the greatest song writer that has ever lived. :)

This:
Been doing housework today accompanied by videos of the Christmas gigs. Suddenly got a flashback to a moment in the pit at Nottingham where it was an overblown waving the hands in the air type of thing. Some chap clasped my hand for a while and we waved our hands about together for a bit: Strangers sharing a bit of happiness. :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
No idea who he was and pretty sure he didn't know me - don't think we even saw each other until after when I think (hope) we shared a grin.
Whoever you were mate - nice one, hope you have a good year. You typify all that is good about "the Family" whatever the **** that actually means. :-*
-
On the back of Anna's post i will always remember a guy standing near me who a couple of times during the gig gave me a look and nod of appreciation i think that he was impressed by my crazy passion towards the band A kinda wow your off your head mate but well done moment lol

I was playing a song off a new soundtrack cd and one of the songs( an old tradional mexican song) sounded familiar to me. then I remembered a vhs tape of Disney songs I used to play all the time when my son was really small.

This post reminded me of, when you have kids, you find yourself familiar with a new set of kids programmes / films. I liked "Toy Story", not so much "Shrek" on TV I liked Pingu ,SpongeBob, but the Teletubbies, wtf, I'll have a pint of what the inventor of that programme was drinking ::)

The fact that in a month I am going to walk out of my job, give up my home to work for room and board in Ireland. On farms, then go elsewhere and continue until i run out of funds.

The fact that I feel that I no longer care about belongings. Donating and selling them is making me happy. I just gave a 2 guitars and a Mandolin to a school.

This accident has really shaken me up.
:(
No shame in that. I don't drive these days but back in the 90's I had a really bad smash, I mean my car was utterly totalled... I somehow walked away without a scratch. No bloody idea how that happened. But it took me ages to be comfortable behind the wheel again...
All I can suggest is that statistically, it's unlikely that something similar would happen to you twice in a short space of time... you've been 'pre-disastered'... ???
Not much help I know, but law of averages says that you'll be fine...

My friend flying over to stay for the week - and she'll be here for the Reading gig :) :) :) :)

The "other driver" has finally excepted responsibility for the car crash.

I was in a very similar accident years ago and that car was so smashed I had to get out the back. I didn't have a scratch on me but the other driver smashed through a pedestrian crossing fence and landed vertical on a lamp post. I went out the same week and bought a new car and was fine.
I'm trying to drive somewhere everyday and am getting better. Still don't like junctions or roundabouts (especially the one we crashed on) but it will come.

OK, stick with me on this one, I might sound a bit awful at first...
Looks like my stepbrother has left his wife. They have a two-year old daughter. Yes, the break-up of a family is a bad thing...
... but she treated him like shit. He's a good bloke. And I don't have any biological brothers or sisters, so that's the closest I will ever get to such a nice thing as being someone's uncle. I think the world of that little kiddie and my stepbrother. And, please, take it as read from me that she is an awful, awful person who did everything she could to stop myself and my folks from seeing her and having any kind of meaningful relationship with her through some bitchy agenda that none of us could ever figure out... such a horrible person.
So... yeah. A family break-up made me happy today. :-\
-
Tough as it may sound Ray, a break up is often the better solution.
Be happy.

When I first moved here the great and good of Royal Tunbridge didn't like me because I was some tattoed punk type common chav.
Then I was even more of an disgrace because I got a "Dangerous Dog" named after the bloke who chopped the head off a King.
Next I turned totally into the "We don't like your sort round here" because I became Anna
And now............
I dare to stroll around the promenades of this snobby, up it's own arse enclave of true blue England arm in arm with my Girlfriend.
Ha! Ha! Ha ******* Ha! Ha!
I'm really proud of and happy about the jaws dropping, the eyes popping and the heart attacks happening in our wake.
Today Is A Good Day

Brilliant post, Anna, but details PLEASE!
???
-
Anna go girl n give it too them, be proud, be loud. As Jake Burns sang get up get out be what you are.
-
but details PLEASE!
You soppy old romantic :) You really want to hear the details of an NMA board international love story ?
Pol - Thank you :-*
-
Ooooh, that made my day, Anna! Would have totally loved to see the jaws dropping :)
(Btw, I´ll go with MR on this one ;))
-
Please tell more Anna. I hope this mysterious girl is an NMA fan, or soon to be converted ?
-
Anna, your fanbase are demanding details...
Deets, or the 'ignore' button awaits...
;)
(just kidding, you know we wouldn't do that... perhaps a stern face like this? >:(.... don't make me post two of them.
-
(Btw, I´ll go with MR on this one ;))

Anna ..... demanding details
Oh, ok, if you insist................................ ;D
A few months ago I posted in response to a fellow board members comment. From there we got chatting a little bit on PM's, then email, then the Whirlwind blew. Last week she flew in and we physically met for the first time. On Sunday we shared our first gig.
We live more than 2000 miles apart but this board brought us together. It's how I fell in love. Indulge me now huh?
Hey Capara - this is as close to Sunday as I could find :-*

If that person is Space, I don't think I'll ever stop laughing...
;D
-
If its Space, I won't stop crying :'( Anna wouldn't deserve that !!
-
She ain't that sort of miniscule appendage sporting un-enlightened carrot of a soul person like a certain final frontier. That's for sure.
But that has no place in something this Pure.
:-*
-
So whats the haps now? 2000 miles... bit of a trek for a weekend relationship, eh?
-
Romance via the NMA forum, who'd have guessed that. :)
Nice story. After a lot of recent bullshit, there is space for some positivity :D
-
I think I know who she is! I can only see that the fellows here haven't read all of the recent posts from the past week.
Congrats and wish you both good, Anna and **** (not a bad word! That's a name of a person... hint: count the letters. ;);) )
-
Anna and ****... I send you this... ;D

Umm...don't be angry Anna, please. I swear I won't tell the name.
And no, it's not Heno the international mystery man either. :)

Aaah, how exciting, Anna! Wish you loads of good times and a million brilliant gigs together :)

Well, me and my other half also have a distant relationship over ~1500 km - it´s a pain in the neck sometimes, but definitely worth it anyway :)
-
So it's not Ava... ;)
-
Quite right Rusco - it's not Ava!
Neither is it Heno ;D
On the board her name is Keto and she is everything I could ever have dreamt of :-*
(Oh - and Ray, she laughed at your link and says thanks. Me? I could cheerfully pop an arrow in your arse for inflicting Cliff Richard on me. ;D)
2000 miles? It aint that far............................... :o
And next? Hopefully by next Summer we'll be together, somewhere.
At least, I think that's what the ring on my finger means ;D ;D ;D ;D

Do not mock Sir Cliff, Anna. Don't you dare... ;)
Although I won't say any more, I've seen what you can do with an arrow, might be as impressive as what this guy can do with a bullet...

Well I prefer to think of myself as some fucked up version of Cupid firing arrows of love around ;D ;D
Ok I couldn't get the distance of that bullet Ray :P But at my range the accuracy and effect is the same :)
:-*

who would ever have thought it was heno.....except heno of course!!

Four letters, man. ;D
A & K, wish you all the sweetest happiness life could give. :)

Just went to the local train station and got my tickets out the machine for Newcastle makes it feel that bit closer
-
Me and my wife and her parents arrived to Lappland after driving approx 1000km's. We have a winter vacation called skiing vacation which started yesterday. It means one week holiday.
I have lots of good memories from here. Last time it was during Christmas one year ago when we were here. I had just received BDAW and was totally into it.
:)
It's snow 60 cm's here and right now -5 Celsius. (In southern Finland it's about +/- 0 celsius and no snow at all.)
-
heya guys :)
after i saw all your lovely wishes in case of anna and me :D i just like to say thanxxx to everybody who got involved in our love- story ::) i'm sorry that i'm not really active in the forum, but you know, there is anna :-* and since we met i have no time for anything else ;) and english is'nt my ******* mother- language...
anna wrote already everything, i just can agree with her. i never dared even to dream to meet somebody gorgeous like her, she makes my life worth it and 3000 miles between us (tel aviv) is nothing, cos there is no greater love!!! :D
so thank ya guys again, i feel i got a bit a family i never had, we'll meet for sure soon, have fun this night in newcastle and
ANNA CAPARA I'LL LOVE YA FOREVER!!! :-* :-* :-*
-
The fact that my home for nearly three months is a farm in county Tipperary away from any city. Also the fact that my main job is working with calves. I have actually taught three newborns to drink from a bottle and not their mothers. Herding them is hard work as they are strong animals. I have bruises from being hit with there heads after feeding but i still find it fun and rewarding.
I think this is how people are meant to live. Eat, work hard, spend time together, have fun, work more, eat again and feel no pressure to get ahead. All this and breath actual oxygen and not the polluted air found in cities.
-
Sounds so ******* great, Amanda... wishing you all the best in your new life. :D

Great stuff Keto. A meet up in Notts this year would be great. No doubt by then there will be several other dates announced near that time also. Maybe even Wezzy could make Notts this year !!!!

New Model Army in Nottingham... the Holy Grail of all things NMA.
Search your feelings... you know it to be true.

Indeed. lets try to remember not to leave it too long for ordering tickets this year. Only 2500 available, and like " the gig in Leipzig" , may sell out again.
-
Agreed, sir.
-
Really happy with the Beautiful Days lineup this year...
But no NMA or Justin Sullivan again? Not even mentioned with Freeborn John live
-
Was over at the shop for rolls n a paper n a guy came in and bought a half oz (12.5g) of tobacco (golden Virginia) couldn't believe it when the woman ask him £5.04 wow wtf i used to smoke nearly that every day I'm definitely off the cigs for good
-
Pol, I bought cigs at a plane station in Gatwick and it cost 8,50£. Just a normal box of Marlboro.
-
We're very happy with skiing here in Lappland. My wife posted some pics on to NMA FB pages from here. Today I'll ski and bowl some, as well as go to the skibar. Sun shines and it was -20 celsius last night. 8)
-
The fact that Irish people are possibly some of the kindest people in the world. When walking down the road instead of honking the horn at you or shouting at you to "Get off the ******* road, you stupid ****" , they actually wave and say hello. You don't risk being killed. Also the fact that farming is hard work but fun and happy.
-
I'm glad our Celtic cousins are treating you properly Amanda
-
Full ebay refund, could have done without the hassle in the first place but credit where its due ebay kept their side of the bargain n i used the money to buy bigger and better.

What makes me happy, -- went to my local 2night, last time had 5 NMA songs on the Box, 2nite they also had
Modern times
Frightened
Ambition
Did I play 'em, oh yes, many times ;)

Wishing everything goes well with you. I have also some strange tumor in my finger. The doctor said to me: look at my hand, and pointed a small tumor like thing in middle of her hand too. :) Fortunately, they're not always bad.

Yay, you! Glad to hear it! Hope all is fine.

While I was taking my tools back inside the working room, it was a clear and starry night sky. I drank a beer while watching the skies and having a cig while I awaited if I could hear an owl singing. Then I immediately saw three satellites at once. All of them flying at different directions. :)

Got a new job today! Yeah, I'm still gonna be broke (still down about £600 a month from when I worked for the NHS) but it's the same money for a 25-hour week, so I can find alternatives sources of income to bump up the cash flow situation a bit!

Excellent news Ray good to see you getting a deserved break, hope it all goes well

Blood tests at the hospital went ok yesterday and the results will take a few weeks. That means my arms get a rest and can look normal rather than summut off of Trainspotting !
;D
Don't look at my stomach though. That's pretty shades of blue/purple/green/yellow bruises. Saying that, each time I inject the reaction gets better. Less bruising and stinging.

The kindness of strangers, was going to the bookies to donate my annual fiver and just outside a old lady had fallen though i didn't see the incident, nothing serious looking anyway a few people had came to her rescue and were offering to run her home etc . Always good to see kind decent people in this world
-
Pol - that's lovely, cheers :-* I always smile reading this sort of little everyday kindness.
Wessexy - pleased to read that :) Do you make wedding cakes?

I agree... with reference to the 'my Mum having a fall' thing that I posted a few days ago... I only got the full story today. Apparently, she had the fall, my stepdad put her down on a nearby bench and went to get her a bottle of water from a nearby shop, then got back to find out she'd collapsed face down on the pavement... :-[
There was a circle of people around her, some young track-suited lad (who my stepdad said 'looked a bit rough'... don't be unpleasant, he's a suspicious fella at the best of times!) was calling an ambulance, some Asian lady was holding her hand and being reassuring, and a paramedic was there within five minutes. Someone even watched her handbag and passed it back to her because 'didn't want to see you get it nicked, luv...'
I might be a bit cynical, but those 'people' things... they can be pretty decent sometimes, eh?

You should investigate further. Three excellent albums before they split... then ten years later, they reformed with two albums that were just as good! And such a bloody awesome live act...
I leave you with this fantastic track...

The fact that I am leaving on Tuesday to go to The Netherland and volunteer on a farm. It's mainly the fact that I will be leaving here. This will be my third volunteer position and I can honestly say it will be a relief to have the 2nd done with. I hate cleaning and my job is basically cleaning hear. In the Netherlands, I get to learn to build with mud, herd goats, ride horses and feed animals. Not be stuck in a house.
Back to the hard but enjoyable work that is farming.
-
Been to The Netherland a couple of times. I think you'll like it.

Managed to get my mp3 player up and running Now that might not seem much for some but for me its an achievement, should explain its a really old Sony and I had to get the sonicstage software for it to run and yes nma (impurity) was my first transfer

Yesterday, I built a new nest box for birds. Now there's 7 of them in our yard. A European Pied Flycatcher conquered it immediately. :)
It's a fierce fight with birds out there right now, who'll conquer a nest box. Normally they'll start to keep an eye on them in the end of winter. And suddenly, it's *bang* in one or two days period in start of May when all of migrant birds arrive and the ones who've stayed whole winter here get nasty towards them.

Listening to Bernard Fanning cds after seeing him last wednesday night in cottiers theatre in Glasgow great nights entertainment been to most venues in Glasgow but that was the first time in that one it uesd to be a church now a music venue was well impressed would love to see Justin and Dean play there

Gonna give the old sennheisers to the Chaz shop
-
Part of my new job is riding a bike for half an hour to get to horses that I must feed in the clean air of the Netherlands. The Dutch seem to be very friendly and everyone actually speaks to everyone. Like Ireland but only Dutch speaking. Life can be really good.

A certain Dutch someone who I just wish I could sit and have a conversation with them forever. It's a new friendship not romance. I also very much enjoy talking to her girlfriend as well. They are such a beautiful and nice couple. They are artists, hippies, smart, funny and great with animals.
I love when you meet people that you could just have endless conversations with. The sad thing is as a nomad, I have to leave and meet someone else who I connect with then leave again.

Hospital ok yesterday. Was quite painful even with a local anaesthetic. It was 2 tubes up through he groin into the brain tumour and they squirted some sort of dye and hormone through it. Nurse gave me a free Brazilian ! The dressing is pulling a bit today though.
I could feel the tubes being pushed up at the groin and hip then again when it went behind my throat. I could hear a cracking in my ears then a whoosh when the fluids went in. You get an extreme hot flush and feel really horrible when the hormone goes in.
The Proff who sorted me yesterday said it will take a few weeks for results then crack on with the op. There's not much call for brain surgery, so it will all happen sooner rather than later.
-
Good luck with the surgery, and hope you are feeling a bit more comfortable soon

I don't know if I want to kiss and hug the inventor of this or if I want to nominate them for a Nobel Peace Prize.. Actually, I think kisses and hugs are in order :)
Imagine the phone bill you'd get back in the day - 3 hours international calling every night for 2 1/2 months !!!!!!!!
Isn't this digital super-highway bloody marvellous ;D

On the same theme I loving my broadband especially youtube on the playstation network It basically plays full size video on your tv

I am living on a very remote island for the next two months. You have to go three hours by boat from Penzence to get here. It's the first time I have ever had an entire beach to myself.
Stunningly beautiful.

The bday from my husband today we had a good time with family and friends and he was so happy about his tix to see NMA playing at the Burg Herzberg festival :) :) :) :) Bye the way I have a few flyers if someone likes to have a flyer for the NMA collection let me know its for free and I will send it to you ;)
-
I have found a great band... ;)
-
who is it?
-
Erm... NMA... ;)
Yes, I know you all already know.
(I'm new :-[ )
-
I think I've heard of them. Bunch of miserable Goths or something?
:D
-
Why not ? Did you ever watch I Goth my world ? Great movie bye the way ...I wish you a nice eve

Im really happy coz tomorrow we will get our new car and Im happy about a email from a close friend of mine we like to visit in the next October in Nottingham happy days count the days .....waiting.....bloody waiting but really worth it ;)
-
I even get paid despite the fact that the UK gov doesn't know not would they approve.
I would be careful about broadcasting that too widely. It is very easy for someone to report cases of illegal working to the UK Border Authority. Whilst they might not follow it up, you probably don't want to risk it.
-
True, thanks very much. I deleted it.
-
Our new car arrives today makes us really happy looks really great :)
-
Oh and Ive ordered some NMA clothes in the shop and got an email status shipped makes me happy aswell so today is a good day ;)
-
Scoffing loads of pizza because I ran (and the run was bloody awful, which makes the pizza more satisfying, somehow)

Good luck with your meal

Thanks witch. I feel a bit sick now, but it's a good sort of sick ;D

Stumbled upon this word today:
Destinesia
The act of getting somewhere but having forgotten why you wanted to get there. :)
Seems strangely relevant to me right now.

Aw, that's a feeling I really love. I still can remember ordering tickets for UK shows in 2013 and it was only two weeks until they arrived before the gigs.
I'd recall that being positivity if you think we have to fly for 3000 km's to their shows.

Lovely day out today, popped over to Chester on the spur of the moment, gorgeous weather, ate some nice fish 'n' chips, a bit of a mooch around some lovely old buildings... and to cap it off, had a chat with a certain Mr Alleyne Johnson, busking in this fine old city yet again...
Yeah, that was a nice day.

Chester sounds like a really nice place. Maybeez If me and Ange visit sometime M/R, you can be our tour guide ;)
If Ed is busking at the same time, that would be the Icing on the cake. I have seen him busking before, but that was in 1989. He does make a very impressive sound.

Finding out that a couple of your Facebook pals are in favour of fox-hunting... hmmm, perhaps, in that same spirit, I should mutilate your pets and rub their blood in the face of the nearest child? ???
Or just delete your details with a hearty FOAD?
Either is fine with me, you utter arsewombles...

It is an awesome word, isn't it?... can't remember whether I made it up or picked it up somewhere else...

I think you might be right Pol. When we charged our glasses and I said "here's to the next 20 years" , I am sure I saw a glint of despair in her eyes ::)
The Chinese was very nice. The starter a first time for me - Prawns wrapped in well cooked crispy bacon -- Absolutely divine :P
-
I'm glad you and ang had a good night out and the prawns sound awesome

Prawns wrapped in bacon?

Perhaps NOT the TAT in December? That's where it was so over-crowded and claustrophobic that I missed you guys last time?
Shush knows far better places. As do I, after our meet last month.

Yeah but the TAT is traditional. Easy to find and so close to Rock City.

I shall leave the meeting place up to you two after all I'm only a visitor to the fair city lol

Same one on Derby Road ?

Yes I'm staying at the strathdon I found it decent enough last year, clean and comfortable is all I need n the breakfast is good
-
The fact that it was rainy, windy and foggy and I went for a walk in the hills and cliffs by the sea. I saw plenty of wild rabbits and finally got cows to eat out of my hand. Usually grown cows don't do that and it took a lot of work but it's done.
Oh, and me looking forward to the festival in Devon this weekend that NMA are playing.
-
Cows are normally placid animals, but be careful, they can stampede if they regard you as a threat to their calves...

Yes you need to be careful around cows I'm I sounding like a country bumpkin lol

The feeling I got from the english immersion program in Poland. It made me meet and get to know so many wonderful people. I learned just how great the Polish people really are. I heard many stories.
I am happy to say that every one of the polish speakers english have improved immensely. One woman only learned english a year ago and was in tears at the beginning of the program for being overwhelmed. She now can put together entire sentences. It's amazing. I made some kind of impact. These people went from dodging coaxing words like "and", "or" "But" etc to speaking complete sentences.
I have also gotten over my shyness a lot. I also find out just how patient I can be. I have some wonderful new friends because of this. If anyone gets a chance to do one of these do it!
I still can't pronounce polish words worth crap though. :)
-
Now this might seem a bit crazy but I just bought 6 nma cassettes ( raw melody men x 2 plus the 4 emi lps) n I don't own a tape deck. Why - thought that they would make a excellent display item . Hey I'm happy who cares!
-
My financial situation is a bit better (not much, but enough) so bought tickets for NMA in Chester and Nottingham... still weighing up whether I can do Manchester...
:D

Yes, Pol, and this time it will me a proper meet, hopefully before the gig and not an after meet where we can manage a proper conversation and not like last time when it was me being introduced to you guys by Shush and I was so drunk that it was all I could do to stop my eyes drifting in different directions... :D
-
I won't be able to book the train till mid September, guessing it will be 2/3 pm before I get to Nottingham, remind me not to change at Warrington this time lol , so confirm my plans then

6 days of enjoyment all to myself with no jobs. For 6 months when traveling, I have been mostly working and had not time to really see sites. So it's 3 days in Krakow, Then it's 2 days in Lviv Ukraine. Then cheap as dirt night train. (4 euros for 13 hour sleeper to the Ukrainian/ Romanian border. Then it's walk 1.5 km across border and then another after crossing into EU side to Romania. I am actually excited about walking across a border. :D
Oh and using bla bla car and sleeping in stranger's homes most of the way.
-
Welcome back!
Thank you!

Listening to music.
Had a bad attack of insomnia last night, thanks to certain personal problems, so gave up at about 2am, plugged my mp3 player into my ears, full blast, and lay there in the darkness listening to fine tunes until I drifted off, roundabout the time the morning sun was brightening my bedroom window...
No matter what happens to me, music always makes me feel better.

I'm soon getting ready a work I've been doing for our sauna. I'm building wooden benches for it where you can sit. Well, my wife's a bit angry it took so long time to devise the system there but I don't want to create something that you would end up to build once again if it found not to be working later on. So, it has to be a good design that will last tens of years and if you'll sell the house some day the benches should look like something that would look convenient to others eyes too.
We had a big renovation in bathroom and sauna in June and July. So this is actually the last step with the renovation.
-
so, have you built a sauna from scratch? respect there....
-
Do you work in construction Rusco, or are you just good with your hands ?
-
im guessing carpentry must be a skill to fit out a sauna?
-
No, I'm not working in construction but I've learned some things with carpentry as a self taught. Watching step-by-step videos, devising things and building them helps a lot and I've done it now for years.
Here's (http://www.warkop.fi/upload/Image/Saunat/kuusilaude1.jpg) a pic about a traditional way of building the benches in sauna in Finland. There's also a new, modern way of building them which has much more curved lines than the traditional way has but I'm just making plain, traditional benches.
Yeah Coumarin, there are some important things with carpentry in rooms that'll have a high rate of moisture, like the way of using paraffin oil with the wood. If you cover the wood wholly with it it will rot. So, it has to be able to get dry also afterwards.
-
Here (https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQRFT6CDTYIiSIICORgbHaTahAlzRdVj9FFEPvSJvycV0BuJD2_) is an example of a new way of building the benches.
-
thought so rusco. my dad was a chippie, so he passed a lot of his wood working skills my way. even though im not a carpenter I can still remember how to hang a door and how the hinges should be spaced to make them look correct even if they aren't!
-
Lviv Ukraine
-
Oh, after years of searching, an old fellow band member found the demos of our band from the mid 90's... :D
Listening back, it actually sounds pretty good...
Oh, those days.
-
thought so rusco. my dad was a chippie, so he passed a lot of his wood working skills my way. even though im not a carpenter I can still remember how to hang a door and how the hinges should be spaced to make them look correct even if they aren't!
That's good. I haven't had any skills to it earlier but the way of our living in a house in middle of forest gives more knowledge to things. Nobody else does the work than us (apart huge renovations) so there are technics that we should be familiar with.
What makes me happy is today we had a sauna again after many years since things are working there now.

Spending much of the afternoon on the phone with my bank after numerous f-ups on their part regarding a re-financing of a loan I did a few months back... I really went for it and not only got my loan renegotiated on MY terms (for quite a bit less £££s per month), but got all costs refunded and £50 compensation thrown into the bargain!
:D
The irony of it... I think that the original problem stems from something I did wrong... ;D

Just watched the Spongebob movie with my niece, absolute classic. I don't know what they were smoking when they wrote the script, but I WANT SOME!
This should give you a clue as to the tone of the film:

Idopas, if you are looking for kids films to watch with your neice, check out the SHAUN THE SHEEP movie. Genuinely the funniest film I've seen all year, so clever and beautifully made.
Seeing my own little niece tomorrow, looking forward to it... funny how these loud annoying messy little things can creep under your skin, eh? :)

Good man :-*

Gotta ask, whilst we're on the subject... remember 'Sophie's Law' or something like that, where violent crimes against goths / alternative folks would be classified as a hate crime? I think there was a thread about it? Anyone know if there were any actual convictions brought about because of it? Or was it just another attention-grabbing thing from the government that was allowed to face away?
-
Good Evening Pol ,

Im sorry I was been a bit in a hurry yesterday forget to wrote this
Our bags are packed we a ready and happy to drove with our Peugeot RZC bye the way was the 1 car ride to an NMA gig ;)

Congrats Wessy that everything went fine! During the summer when you wrote about things I was shocked about it. I didn't write actively here but read posts at times. You won it bravely!
-
Just want to add Go out and really enjoy WW and have a great night

Have a great night Wezzy (and everyone else going).
What you have been through lately, you deserve a good night back where you belong. :)

I'm going to Brizzol in a while to see a band called New Model Army (dunno if you've heard of them).

A week of paid sick leave when my sickness has vacated the premises. Just a long relaxing week of books, movies and music. And probably Guinness. I listen to New Model Army when I drink 100% of the time. And I'll earbash anyone who has foolishly wandered into my apartment with them as well.

I've recently been constructing a sauna bench that looks quite handy. I've used both wood and some little, white plastic parts within it. I think in general it's nice to mix wood with some other subject such as plexiglas or metal.

Spending a chunk of the afternoon in a state of undress with a lovely young woman rubbing her hands all over me...
... long pause ...
... alright, I was having physio on my back... but at my age, you take what you can get, eh? ::)
And the 'makes me happy' thing is that the problem that I was so worried about seems to be very minor and very fixable. I did the stupid thing of getting on the internet and researching my symptoms... I was pretty much ready to see how much wheelchairs cost. Looks like it'll all be fine. :D

my hydrogen generator gets a service next Friday....... yay

Becoming unemployed last week after my work contract ended rather sooner than I expected = bad.
Getting a decent sized and completely unexpected tax rebate through the post today = very, very good.
Well, someone up there likes me, eh? :D
-
Ray, I was unemployed for 11 months whilst going through a breakdown. When you think things can only get worse. they do somehow get better. Believe me. Small miracles like that do happen in human nature, so don't give up and keep up the fight. that's an order.

Cheers, Coumarin. Been there before, got over it, will do so again. A few irons in the fire and I got a few quid put by to tide me over.
Also helps to have damn good people on this Forum to offer some damn good words... :)

I certainly don't want to go through that again. I was a bit dodgy at times, Yes NMA friends helped. We never know who our friends are until we need them do we

So I've just slagged off two companies for there piss poor customer service.
Too make amends here is company that give me excellent customer service.
Step forward Vaporized
So on Monday I went into the Irvine shop to buy some liquids, which gave me 5 stamps on my loyalty card entitling me to a free bottle or £5 off a premium bottle.So I thought I would put the money towards a bottle of cosmic fog - cola gummy thinking it would taste like the sweets. When I got home and filled my tank with it, I could smell a strange marzipan almond smell n thought it would be ok when I vaped it , well it wasn't it was totally disgusting. So being extremely pissed off and disappointed I emailed vaporized telling them what I thought. Well today they got back offering a full refund or a exchange. So big thumbs to vaporized n thanks
-
Tomorrow is Republic day here in Turkey. I am happy because it means music and food and everyone here is so happy to share their culture.
Total strangers bring you in their homes and feed you and give you tea.
I am happy to be in one of the friendliest countries in the world and it's my home for two months.
The hype of the American media is totally false. They give travel warnings and it's all a load of crap. It is safer than the US.

Was given two samples today with a massive refractive index and density difference. Didn't know there had been a formula change. My trusty GC's showed that DPG had been replaced with DPM, a different grade of vertenex was being used (the cis-trans isomer ratios had changed) and benzyl salicylate had been reduced from 8 t0 5%. When the technician looked at the formula she confirmed that it had been altered, and blindly confirmed my findings. YAY... who needs mass spectroscopy eh!

Today we watched the BWAB dvd live set from 2014 Dec. Enjoyed it so much. Feeling like we were at the gig.
Besides all the work while living in isolation at countryside you still can have enjoyable moments.

Just been for my post op brain scan.
They didn't go "Holy shite, phone the Dr immediately !!!" so I think I'm ok.
Results in a week.
:)
Had the result from my last kidney scan and the cancer hasn't grown or moved since the scan in April that found it.
Full steam ahead for 24th Nov, F**k Off Cancer Day.

Wishing everything's turned well for you now.

I'm happy about my new planer, a Festool HL 85 EB. It works like a dream and it's possible to use also as a thicknesser planer. It has a variety of blades like the rustic ones.
But there was a certain dropper yesterday when my (now ex-) grinder nearly burned while I was working with it. Now I can see more clearly the difference with cheap hobbyist tools and professionals.
-
All the best Wessexy Witch ,
wish you lots of big luck ;)
cheers witch

Just ordered my first ever diy e liquid kit , that hopefully will be good, seen a few youtube videos and it looks easy enough suppose only time will tell. Did some research and went for a company with good reviews. Looking forward to trying some mixes out, gonna attempt 80% vg with 1.2 nicotine. Strawberries and cream, and vanilla custard are the two concentrates I went for, if it goes to plan I will bring some free samples to Nottingham

All my clothes are starting to fit me again.
Got a Damned shirt on today that was straining at the seams last time I struggled into it. Plenty of room in it now.
Last weekend I had a Mission shirt on that I'd never worn before because I couldn't get into it.Mark thought it was new.

Turkish beaches during off season. All blue water and pebbles. I got a portion all to myself. No english and european tourist, just a few Turkish people. Plus complete strangers give you tea and invite you in as usual it seems here.
-
Smacking the central heating pump with a mallet and hey presto it's working !
;D
-
Awesome clouds from my tfv4
-
Getting my head shaved at the Turkish barbers , especially the hot towels bit though when he burn the small hair off with the burning methylated spirits is a bit strange at first
Would definitely recommend it to all fellow baldies

Stuff that is beyond my ability to put into words.

It's Friday, a dear friend from Brussels is coming over for the weekend - that alone is always nice - but we will be going to see Black Star Riders tomorrow, with a couple more good friends - I am really looking forward to this. I don't go out as much as I used to...so that does make me happy right now. :)
Have a great weekend everyone, whatever you are up to.

It's my wife's birthday tomorrow. I purchased a gift I think she will like a lot when she gets used to it. I'm gonna wake her up tomorrow with a nice breakfast and think we'll have some delicious Beaujolais Nouveau at evening too.

Have a good day Rusco. My wife's Birthday on Sunday, but I am unlikely to wake her up, she awakes with an amazing sense of time "body clock", I can sleep when I have finally get to sleep through anything.
Look forward to seeing you both, - only 2 weeks. ;)

-
Upcoming trip to Manc makes me REALLY happy. My wife + couple of really nice friends with us; all being Army fans.
And at least, I finally get some long waited pause of my usual doings at home although I can enjoy them at times too. No woodworks this time, not messing with pumps and tools and felling these giant trees when alongside banging my head at a daytime job with nutty "friends".
It's gonna be my fourth time in UK and probably ninth NMA gig I'll see if I count also acoustic JS+DW shows.
I don't know why but there's something in that certain group of islands in the middle of Atlantic ocean that I love.
Cheers.
-
Enjoy your trip to Manchester mate
-
Thanks Pol. Maybe some time we'll do Notts too but this fit better in our plans this time.
Actually I realised it's their tenth gig now I'll see.
I'm happy now that I did finish the emergency exit ladders. It's wood. Installed it outside of a window in second floor.

Sitting here catching up with you lot.

Very cool on both counts! :) Got my Cure tickets for Cologne last week, very excited about seeing them again.
Tonight my and my best friend are headed for Tilburg to see Black Star Riders again - I'm a bit tired at the moment but I know it will be fine tonight.

Just got a large vintage anatomy chart , I think its very cool so that's all that matters, will look good in my collection of weird and wonderful
-
We arrived to home couple of hours ago. I've heated a fireplace, opened a server, boiling tank and water systems, and unpacked our bags just a little bit. Mainly watching all the new albums and cd's fascinatedly.
The 4 days trip in UK was so excellent and fun. Lots of good memories. Tomorrow I have a holiday yet. I'll think I have enough time to fix the balcony fence that should be ready on Friday.
Cheers, I hope all the best to you and wish a great gig at Notts.

Same time next year Rusco ?

The kindness of my work colleagues in both the infant and junior schools.
One of my very close work mates came round after school yesterday to check up on me and brought 3 huge boxes of Christmas goodies that the staff had all chipped in.
Normal everyday things like pasta, tea and coffee,soup, beans. Christmas goodies, puds, mince pies, pantone peanuts, massive tin of quality street and gifts of candles, smelly gift boxes, books and a cd. Absolutely loads of things, more than I could afford to buy.
I burst into tears when the 1st box came in and was in a right state by the 3rd. Once Michaela (my friend) had gone I got all upset again looking at all the things and trying to imagine how much it all cost and the though and kindness that had gone into it. There was a big gammon joint in there that was way over my budget on it's own ! The boxes where all decorated too.
And I always thought most of the staff didn't like me because I'm not a Christian and am a bit outspoken on the subject.
Just goes to show doesn't it.
:-[
Thank you baby Jesus and all your friends.
:)
-
Aw, them 'people' things... they can be awful, we are all reminded of that on a daily basis, but they can be pretty damn awesome as well, can't they?
:)
-
Same time next year Rusco ?
It would be a great idea. Time will tell... We probably go also to Rebellion fest at Blackpool on 2016 summer.
-
We got ready all of the county's official things concerning our house and my working room. No need to call for additional time for constructing and getting things ready. Hooray.
That means we don't have to pay to county anymore. Now the buildings are "ready" officially. What's left to do is up to us, not the county.

I've been to the supermarket and driven the car.
Boring for most people I know !

Had a couple of drinks with me Dad tonight, just me and him... don't get me wrong, his wife is a truly lovely woman and the three of us have had many, many enjoyable evenings, it was just nice that whilst she was away visiting her sister I got the chance to have a bit of one-to-one time with the old man... also, we got a chance to talk about health problems and for once they weren't his! ;)
A really nice night.

Tonight in our local, as usual on the old music box I searched for NMA expecting to get the same 7 songs I am please to usually find, tonight there was an option - GET FROM THE NET, I clicked it, how many options,,, 261 NMA tracks available (included a lot of live ) well, where do you start ??? Only put on around 10 as this GET FROM THE NET option was two credits per song. I do remember I finished with One Of the Chosen, and Sky in Your Eyes. That alone well worth the trip out. Every one else there was happy for the bloke in the corner to sing along and gesticulate to music they had never heard before.
Then I finished with a couple of Smashing Pumkins tracks to wind down with.
Well, that all made me happy :)
-
Sounds like a fine plce to drink, wish I had somewhere like that in these parts... :-\
-
Tiz a fine old pub called, The Nelson and Railway. Other forum folk Texaspete, Barty and witch are familiar with it ;)

Last night's gig in Köln made me very happy :D
And there were quite a few other people around me.
The whole pit was grinning and smiling actually.

My previous post... tonight got even better when another friend of ours showed up, totally out of the blue... we hadn't been together in over a decade. Fun times ensued.
This is turning into a better Christmas than I thought it would be.

Having a little dance ;D
Not a massive triumph I grant you, but for me it's HUGE :)

A email from a good friend

We've had a nice Christmas eve day before yesterday (it's on 24th in here) at my wife's parent's place. Everything went fine. Well my sis was at a cruiser at the sea, and I missed a bit my father and his wife as they're 600 kms away at northern savonia. But there's still some time left. Look, it's only Fri now and today was the second Christmas day, and tomorrow's "Tapaninpäivä" (uh, well how'd you folks call it?) Lol, whatever. The weekend is just starting.
Until this evening we returned back to our home and there's a dropper I know: it's a nearly traditional winter storm taking over right now! I already checked my saw is it ready in a case of emergency for tomorrow. The winds are blowing hell hard now and I don't dare to even open a computer. *hands crossed*
Nearly ready to welcome the winter coldness. Wished it would come as it's always calming these autumn storms.
Take care, cheers.
-
We're in Northern Savonia district now.
It's -17c° out now, but not snow nearly at all. The lake is going iced and makes huge noises. "BUMmmm!" It's like shooting with a cannon or something. You could hear that inside a house too. :) This is awesome.
We're going skiing to the Tahko fell today and see my aunt later on.

My hot water bottle.
Damnit! Should this be in the getting old thread?

me neither...........
What is this "normality" that you talk of? Is it a rarely seen mammal exclusive to Scotland? Maybe like a Haggis ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Getting crimbo and new year out the way and getting back to a sense of normality
Can agree with that Pol. I always look forward to crimbo, then always get fed up of sitting around stuffing my face. One of the best bits of crimbo is being relieved its all over.

Goddamit Finns Junior Ice Hockey team will go tomorrow to final contest! They won Swedes today! Woo hoo!
-
Finland won gold! They beat Russia yesterday. Absolutely fantastic. Two of the most difficult participants to win at the end and we cleared our way through. 2,5 millions people watched it from TV.
Today there's been a huge party in Helsinki and you know what: it's an OPEN AIR concert and we have -20 Celsius out now! ;D :D
Unbelievable, I'm laughing my arse off now! The dj's are wearing full winter clothes and people are dancing that they'd keep warm!

Good luck with college, WW! I did the same, for a couple of weeks a year or two ago, and found myself amongst kids who were the same age as I was when I first went there... all I could think of was 'damn, they're all so THIN...' ;)

Without boring everyone a thing called the grandfather clause that's part of tpd and the UK have signed up to it. Basically it means we can vape for another 18 months approximately. I will post a link in e cig thread.

Aw, heck, I was really bummed out about the death of Mr Bowie, truly having a low night... and then my bezzie mate of damn near 30 years saw that and subsequently sorted me out with tickets for a couple of forthcoming gigs that I wasn't sure I could afford to go to... :)
People can often be complete a-holes sometimes, but they can also be pretty damn awesome as well, can't they?
:D

Started back at work on Tuesday.
Went to hospital today for the 6 week post op check up.
The Dr was pleased that I had recovered well and said the tumour defiantly was cancer and that it had fucked off.
He also showed me an internal email that said the brain scan I went in for at xmas looked good and that tumour had fucked off too.
:)

Perfect good news in these grey days :)

The postman, having brought these today.

Glad to hear it, Witch! You're obviously made of strong stuff!

Jammy toast flavour e liquid, yes its true n tastes like the real thing

That sounds like one to try. Recently purchased a blueberry which I do not like at all. Also apricot/apple which is just OK. Still really into coffee cream flavour.
-
Yesterday I "finally" got fever and told to mates at work I'm gonna stay home for few days. I'll go to doctor today and ask for labratory blood tests. Maybe this is a turn to get fit soon, I hope.
I admit I'm a work narcotic. I've been sick for 1,5 month and until now I'm gonna stay home. It's nothing to be proud of, I know. ::)

Happy Birthday Master Ray :)

Well your one up on me Anna , I've never had one either, who needs it when you live in Ayrshire lol

I got a job where I can work from my computer anywhere in the world! It's not to survive (well, maybe in parts of Asia and possibly Ukraine or Moldova). I will still need to do work with a host family to continue my lifestyle. but it's a bit of extra money. Search engine evaluater. I basically evaluate websites and based on these evaluations, it determines what website will appear first in search engines. It involved studying a 160 page PDF manual and taking three exams.
I passed first shot.
So all the time I spend on the net finally can be of some use to me. I know websites, search engines and social networking sites very well and am now my own boss. This means I could work in my underwear or in a nice seaside cafe. This also means I can fund more charity type work. ;D
I am quite proud of myself which is very rare for me.
-
Anna you are now free to legally travel beyond the borders of Kent :D
-
Anna, the world is waiting for you out there. :)
Amandistan, congrats for the new job. So you'll be able to do it at Greece too?
-
Woooo,Anna !
Where first then ?
:)
-
Being official :)
Got my new passport - first real one I've ever had ;D
Let's see the picture then! ;-)
-
Great news, Amandistan, hope it works out well for you!
-
Thanks y'all.
MR - nope, as far as I'm aware the dodgy folk I know don't do forgery ::)
Wessexy - first visit will be Israel on honeymoon :)
BMD - No you can't :P
Tell ya what though, you can tell they check cos before the passport arrived I got a letter from the DVLA telling me to change my driving licence or else ................... Blimey, they make it as hard as possible to do things and then have a pop at you for not doing everything within 5 minutes :o
-
Feeling good tonight, seeing as I sort of renegotiated peace between a bunch of friends (actually, a band I used to be in) via The Dreaded Facebook and it looks like we're gonna be finally able to sit around a table in a pub for the first time in nearly a couple of decades... always been friends individually with these fellas but the four of us finally back together and hanging out? Unheard of...
Damn, I feel like Nixon in China right now...
-
Who will be first to stand up and declare "were getting the band back together" ::)
-
Who will be first to stand up and declare "were getting the band back together" ::)
Certainly not me. I wasn't a very good singer back then and I'm not gonna try and drag my 40-something arse across a stage anytime soon. The guitar player has a cracking good local band together, the drummer (who was awesome) has done a lot of session work since and makes a shitload of money teaching drumming and the bass player hasn't picked up his bass since about 2000...
Still... we had some ridiculously fun times....
-
and the name of the band ??
-
and the name of the band ??
Fugue. There is a full concert available on Youtube (at the awesome Crewe Limelight venue) but only with the singer they sacked before they got me in... trust me, there is absolutely no trace of my time with the band anywhere on t'internet... I've really looked...
Sod it, here it is, I'll save you a bit of time....

Amandistan, congrats for the new job. So you'll be able to do it at Greece too?
Yes, I will do it in Greece thanks to hight quality IP changers that I have installed on my phone and Macbook.
I actually started already. There is no way I would cancel Greece.

Well. I just got back from Bratislava. What a fantastic place. Beautiful old City on the Danube. Cheap, very cheerful and really nice people. Had a day trip to Vienna (one hour by train). Thats gonna keep me cheery for a while.

Glad you had a good holiday

At fracking last !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D
Had a day back in the real world again. Drove into town, bit of a wander around and tiny bit of shopping, then another drive to the pet store, a walk to the vets for Cromwell to get his jabs ((overdue and he's put on weight :( ).
At last my body is able to cope without shouting at me and telling me to lay down on the sofa AGAIN >:( Frack me but it's been a long 3 months ;)

Well done Anna.
Really pleased for you.

I've done some music lately. It even looks like this time I'll maybe get the song finished some day. (I've had a loss of interest to do my own stuff for last ten years.)
I've had some nice feelings nowadays when I'm sober and don't smoke. I've thought there are some things that are actually more important. So I somehow forgive myself and admit I really have more time to concentrate to them. Life is strange.
-
Keeping it up. The next thing I'll probably do this year is to take care of my fitness and start a firm of my own, lol.
-
Getting a very special and exclusive wedding invite the other day. Very much looking forward to being in Onich nr Fort William in May. I'm honoured to be asked to attend by a very special couple who I'm sure have found eternal happiness and love.

My nma themed e cig box mod , just got a red nma logo on my black box mod looks excellent , got it done at a local print shop the kind that does personalized mugs etc. Was a bit of brain wave on my part . Would post a pic but these things are a mystery to me

Last album I purchased was by the Coroner: "Punishment for Decadence". Classic technical thrash metal.

School holiday!
I haven't had a day off since I went back to work 5 weeks ago and that's my personal best.
5 weeks without any appointments/scans/check ups/treatment.
Time to try and do things I haven't managed to do for a year.
Lot's of cleaning probably !
Got loads of course books to read and plenty of essays and studies to write for my Counselling course.
Should be busy !
Went to lunch with some of my friends today and had an ace laugh.
:)
-
Awesome ;) :)
-
Enjoy your time :)
All the best :)
-
Have a great time off! :)
What made me happy just now...it's a bit silly but...I "adopted" 2 African penguins. ::) You make a one-off payment and get to name your penguin(s), get a pic and a certificate of adoption. I named "mine" Tinkerbell and Ianto.
What can I say? I love penguins...

Didn't even know you got African penguins, think I would have given them nma themed names. Nice one though !

I adopted a pack of chocolate penguins, but sadly, they are no longer with us

I was tempted to do that - but those guys look so tiny and funny and fluffy - somehow it would have felt weird. ;)

Very tragic - for them, at least. ::) R.I.P. chocolate penguins. Did you take the time to name them?
Modified to add that those penguins proper name is Humboldt Penguin...learned that today. 😉

I've had my head in brushes lately...

Hey peeps,
Company has gone into administration - surprised it's taken so long in all honesty. Quite pleased about it really, I've been idling there for far too long. Whole load of circles been closing lately and this one needed too as well. Sure the financial reality will come crashing in soon enough but there's a big bright world out there.
So definately happy not sad :)
Straight on for the days ahead 8)

Wishing you exciting opportunities Anna.
Cheers

Disliked school.... They made you drink frozen milk in the 70s!
-
Frozen milk count yourself lucky, nowt worse than warm milk that's been sitting in a classroom, put me right off the stuff for years, never thought I would say this but Maggie done the right thing lol
And no Scottish schools didn't have irn bru n whiskey lol
-
I used to enjoy my miniature bottle of milk while sat at "the milk table" in the 70's :)
-
Yeah and if you were the "milk monitor" for the day you got to have any spare bottles :) Mind you my memory says warm milk too.
-
The only link I can find for the Milk Monitor thing from The Office is this one... not very good quality but still funny...

That just curdled and was nasty...1970s schooling, getting you ready for the slush puppie and non dairy based macdonalds shakes!
1/3rd pint bottles if I remember???

THATCHER, THATCHER. MILK SNATCHER!

Wonder if would still enjoy a slush puppy , macs milkshakes are awesome

Japan is my dream holiday destination, always has been. Wish I could afford it... maybe in a few years, eh?
Enjoy.
-
Japan! nice one. Love going to different places but detest the travelling. That would be too far for me unless I stopped half way for a day or two. States is far enough for me. My eldest lad dreams of going to Japan. Make sure you let us know how it all goes ;)
-
Yep. its about 11-14 hours depending
but at least its a night flight.
Crossing Russian airspace is more of a concern.... Putin seems to like downing commercial aircraft!!
-
The likelihood is Putin will not down your airline as he is too busy contributing to genocide in Syria.
But of course this is "Not a UN site" whatever that means. Though some of the band's lyrics would say otherwise.

Did you not say on the other thread you wanted no more interaction with this person ? that might be the better option.
-
It may be but in reality I was quite upset and angry at the comment and his lack of compassion to an issue that is crucial. Not a UN forum but this is the everything else forum and the band's lyrics discuss such issues.
I found his comment quite cruel and don't think it is worth wasting time of the moderators. Also the comment about "Is this the only place on the internet where anyone listens" was degrading. If i knew someone to be in vulnerable state I would not respond like that. I don't think it breaks forum rules as it did not call be anything but Troll but made me feel like shit.
I do not want to post on this forum if people act like this. I like the forum but this really gets to me at the moment.

Take a few days out from your busy agenda Amanda and review your life. You need it. Sometimes we have to do this, I can vouch for that. If you find that time. I can draw parallels:
I'm a St John first aider. Rule No 1. Your safety comes first.
I'm sure you have taken many first aid courses to be where you are today. It's just a friend reminding you of some basics.
Best of luck

Firstly I like to collect stuff I like. So today I bought a vintage red stop light / level crossing light. Its a old cast iron one probably 1950s ? , its been rewired to take a normal bayonet type bulb / 3 pin plug. Anyway I like it so who cares lol

Hello folks. Today I installed a new nest box into tree and removed an earlier broken box away. (There's been a woodpecker in our yard that smashed 2-3 nest boxes last autumn.) The birds are taking glances at the boxes already.
There's also a campaign in Finland to construct one million nest boxes in one year and register them. There are over 270 000 nest boxes now. :)

Fabulous news. Today is a good day xxx

Is this the right thread , I'm happy about it now so why not
So the smoking ban is 10 years old in Scotland today, aye we had it first a bit like the poll tax lol. I think looking back that its been a really positive thing , remember just how stinking some pubs etc where, did anyone go into a bookies back in the day fck you couldn't see for smoke. On the news they said heart attacks and strokes were down 20% and dieses' from passive smoking over 80%. Sadly smoking is still the biggest cause of avoidable death but lets hope that will be allowed and encouraged to rejuice in the future
-
I got a long weekend coming up, a dear friend is spending Easter at our place - can't wait. :)
-
I got back from a wonderful protest and the feeling of unity was wonderful. There was rain, a rare hail-storm, smoke and teargas but it was wonderful. I marched with Greek anarchists, people in the Greek Anti- Fascist movement and refugees. The fascist pricks were on other side of large police blockade.
We started running at one point and then the hail came crashing down and rain and their was a smoke bomb somewhere. It looked like an image out of a film. The best moment was when someone spray-painted "NO BORDERS" on the side of a bus. It really touched me and everyone cheered. Nobody was hurt as the police in Thessaloniki are kinder than Athens.
Nothing on earth beats the feeling of solidarity. No drug, nothing. I met some new Greek friends and Afghani friends. I keep falling deeper in love with people from Afghanistan each day. All i meet are wonderful and it is a shame that their country is not safe.

Cancer has fucked off.

Awesome

You've got to laugh at Davie Cameron , mired up to his neck in the pig shit of a tax avoidance scandal, makes you wonder if his dad hadn't made all that illegal money those enabling Dave to be sent to that posh school where would he be now. Imo he and Sam should be striped off all their assets and made to live on a really rough council estate. Tainted wealth ?

Springtime in Kent
-
Whoa, 1 week holiday starting. Once more to skiing. :)
In the south the winter's gone 3 weeks ago. Grass will grow soon. But on the east and north we still have a winter.
-
A week off.... The end of the month... to do nothing....
It will be filled with walking and soaking up spring life. Listening, looking and smelling the new season.
FANTASTIC

Well, I bought a new pair of socks. Wool and whatever... The walking season is imminent.
Last years eventually had a hole where the big too should be
So I attempted darning, basically knitting a new patch out of cotton and it made my toes ache and sting.
Is there a pattern for darning with a mushroom?

They're not shoes.
....They are slippers!
A sudden gust of wind and those "firesides" will be sucked up the chimney!
-
Noooo, there're proper shoes with a decent rubber sole.
I can't wait until I'm well enough to go back to school to show them off.
:)
-
I used to hate the first day back at school... But If I turned up with a new pair of rugby boots. That was another story! That's too long ago now.
Anyway, as a Northamptonian I reserve the right to say anything I please about boots and shoes!
Main thing is comfort.
Wear them with pride WW

Managed to partially lay a few ghosts from the past to rest on Saturday. Long story but met a ex friend who I hadn't spoken to for maybe 15 years, kinda ended up feeling sorry for him as he had fckd his life up n was still a piss n hash head. Felt good to say hey I don't drink or even smoke cigs anymore ( is that wrong). Anyway I'm happy who gives lol
-
is that wrong). Anyway I'm happy who gives lol
No and good :-*
-
^^^^^yep, like wot she says^^^^^
be proud Pol
:)
-
Good luck with that one, Pol, hope it goes well.
One thing that's great about The Dreaded Facebook is that I've connected with people who were close friends in the 90's (or even beyond) and had several really amazing nights out with them... people drift apart, no matter how good their friendship is and sometimes for the silliest of reasons. And to reactivate that old friendship and laugh about the daft stuff that seems so irrelevant now... I love it.
Hmmm, didn't a bunch of fine gentlemen once write a song about that very same thing?

Im happy to be in Bradford at the moment and the weather is much better than in Germany :)

I bet it did, I think that's really awesome and you have every right to feel good about that.
Wtch, have a great time in Bradford, the weather here is really quite horrible at the moment, I have heard even Alaska has better weather at the moment. ;D
Had been feeling a bit under the weather for a while but it seems that is a thing of the past now - so that definitely makes me happy. I have the first of four 10k runs coming up on Saturday and was a bit worried I might not be able to make it. Looks like I'll still be able to take part and bring up the rear, as usual, with a cheerful wave and a big grin. ;)
-
Thanks for the family support. Enjoy Bradford witch , Steph have a good fun run . Ray the hatchet has only been picked up lol.
Todays happy - awesome wedding presents arrived in plenty of time, wish I got myself one now

Leicester City - a massive congratulations on becoming premiership champions. Just to show that money doesn't always buy success and gives hope to fans of every smaller team. If Kilmarnock can stay up this season who knows what next season can bring ( aye rite)

Having a curry with my Dad on his birthday today and hearing how his recent health problems seem to be fading into insignificance... :)
Mind you, the old bugger goes to the gym EVERY day! Takes yoga, pilates and, get this, cycle-spinning classes! He's nearly 70 and he's in better shape than I am!

Pains me to say it, but have to agree. Very impressive the Leicester lads. Makes a change to have a different team at the top.
-
Here here.
I'm not a football fan. More Rugby... and respect my local teams (Tigers and Saints) Love Leicester as a City and to see all the celebrations. It looked like it was rammed! like Trafalgar Square on New Years Eve.
No chance of even getting close to the bar in "The Last Plantagenet" for a month I should imagine.
Well done.

I had a good day at work and Im feeling very happy about the healing of my last tattoo done by Joolz
-
:)
Picture please !
-
Getting my head shaved at the Turkish barber , eyebrows trimmed, excess nose and ear hairs removed
-
Did they burn off the ear hair ?
-
Yes they did, best bit is when they put a warm towel on your head, they also use a kinda blackcurrant smelling cream that nice, the stuff they use for aftershave stings quite a bit though, much prefer going there as to the normal barber
-
:)
Picture please !
Will send you a pic soon during the next weekend as a pm need some help from my brother in law coz Im a bit oldschool with such things :-[Im sorrry about that :-[cheers witch

Today is a good day - excellent train journey Glasgow to Fort William, the scenery is totally awesome, was the the first time on a train where people where standing out there seats to get a view, lots of people taking videos and pictures. It's something I would advise everyone to do. Then best of all got to meet nma family, one of them for the first time, I better not leave out Cromwell the dog. Had a couple of beers and a bite to eat with them. Looking forward to tomorrow - the big day.

Glad Pol that you had a good day well done ;)

I walked for about one and a half hours yesterday along the canal and river in Bradford on Avon.
Lovely.
Knackered after mind !
Bit stiff today.

Thxs a lot Pol for your kind travel advice looks pretty lovely ;)
-
Going for a dawn walk with my big sis tomorrow. Now that her heart condition has been diagnosed and treated (as best as possible) she has got the "walking bug"
We are both knocking on a bit. She doesn't like to do more than 4 miles. I have metalwork in my ankle now, so I can't do the 25-40 miles that seemed so easy in my early 20s
It will be a good chance to catch up.
An unhealthy breakfast after (well, we did burn the Calories)
Hoping for a clear morning to get some nice photos. If not then I couldn't care less. At least I will have seen it.
-
Hope your sis gets better, mate.

Just back home from Fort William then Onich , surely Onich is one of the most stunningly beautiful places I've ever been to ( google images) . The weather was fantastic, I felt so honoured to have spent the time with wonderful people

On January 6th last year I answered a post on this board from a total stranger called Keto. 8 weeks later after a flurry of PM's and emails she took a punt and flew over from Tel Aviv to meet and go to a gig - Reading, Sub 89 - 5 days later we were engaged and yesterday on the shore of Loch Levan in the Scottish Highlands we got married :-*. with a certain chap called Pol as witness. This board truly is a place of love ;D

Aw, that's lovely... now someone pass me a bucket, I'm gonna throw up...
;D ;D ;D ;D ;)
You know I'm kidding, hun. I don't know enough nice words to express how happy I am for you. I know you, like me, have been through some tough times. And I cringe a bit at the expression 'happy ending' but if anyone deserves something like that, it's certainly you. Glad your day was brilliant. Big love and hugs for you both.
Some photo's, perhaps? ???

If ever the powers that be assess the importance of this forum in the face of competition like faceboook or twitttwer, always remember, our good friends Anna and Keto met here.
And that well and truly deserves a "like"
Best wishes to you both for the future from me and Ange ;) ;)

Would like to add it was a fantastic unforgettable day , it was a true honour to be invited. Had a brilliant couple of days in the highlands. You both looked amazing and seeing you both together I know that you have found eternal love.

Remember where I used to work in Glasgow they had a eagle owl to keep the seagulls away and it was fckin huge and scary.
My signed Pol Espargaro baseball cap arrived today. He is a motogp rider no.44 monster tech3 Yamaha in case anyone is wondering. He is currently his seasons leading independent rider. Us Pol's stick together lol

Eagle owl, wow. I've heard they've been transported to uncommon new territories for "jobs". It's not so wise to do but they'll certainly do a dirty job as they prey on things smaller than little dogs.
I've maybe shown this earlier but here's a video about an Eagle owl that posed for a camera at the top of a main post house in Helsinki:
http://yle.fi/aihe/artikkeli/2009/03/05/cityhuuhkaja-kohtasi-kameran#media=37839
Think that their size can be up to 80cms and age of 60 years...

Went to a wedding do of one of the women from my college course last nice. It was really nice because her family members were coming up to us (the college group) and thanking us for changing Georgie's life by making her a more confident person with a goal in life. They were kissing the tutor and shaking her hand and thanking her for opening Georgie as a person.
Lovely.
Plus the wedding had a 50's vintage theme so everyone looked amazing.

What made me happy on Friday night, was the end of year teachers meal at a pub in the arse end of nowhere. No body gets pissed or says anything to upset anyone else, all very "school" even though we're out.Not that good I hear you say, but....The Wurzels were playing in a tent round the back and we got free entry ! Most of the teachers buggered off because "it wasn't their thing" leaving 3 of us to have the best teachers night out ever !!!!

Getting into this jam making. Have made 7 jars of good stuff. The first batch was crap because I burnt it and it set to hard. You learn from you mistakes and watch the thermometer like a hawk so it doesn't happen again.
Picked another huge bowl full of plums today. Still hundreds on there.
Freezed a big bag load.
Plum crumble for tea last night.
Gonna turn purple at this rate !

Booking the Strathdon again, Nowt left there on booking.com so had to use late-rooms . Quite a bit more expensive than before ie £90 this time.

Remember its a book now and pay on the day deal, so even if your skint it makes sense

Ticket bought for the wonderfulness that is a Nottingham NMA Christmas gig. I guess I'll be meeting up with some great pals, eh? :D
-
Cheers Wessexy :)
Started my language course today at night school, jeez I forgot what it was like to focus the brain and work it hard. It's really cool though, folk from Spain, Romania, Poland, Hungary, China, Mexico, Lithuania, Australia and of course me from England: gotta love this inter-connected world we live in :) Sure made a nice change from all the DIY and decorating (but don't get me started on German bleedin' doors) which is all coming on a treat. Oh and read this and weep smoker people: 300g of cigarette tobacco, filter tubes all for 30 euros - thats about 500 fags ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Cheers witch - only another 12 weeks to go for the first course :o

Just a lovely day out where nothing spectacular happened but it was great all the same... I'm trying to spend more time with my Mum seeing as I'm at that age where many friends of a similar age to myself are losing their loved ones. So it was just a sweet day in Hoylake and West Kirby with Mum, her husband (they've been going through some serious problems, but all was calm today) and my lovely little niece (plus said niece's Mum and Grandad)...
As I said, nothing truly amazing occurred... it was just a nice, nice day. I wish I had more days like that. It only takes the occasional one to make you look at this world in a better light.
-
.. it was just a nice, nice day.
Ain't they just the best ones :) :-*

Went to the SMASH AGM last night and met the new patron.....Eddie The Eagle Edwards !
Nice bloke and brilliant example of a person who pushed himself to change his life and believe in himself.
:)
Bear Grylls never turned up to anything when he was Patron.

People regard Mr Edwards as a somewhat comedic character, but c'mon, who here would have the balls to do one of those huge ski-jumps? Doesn't matter if he didn't win a gold or anything, the thought alone of simply doing it makes me go all 'squeaky bum time' :-[
A fine and admirable gentleman, IMO.
-
at the moment and since some time (unfortunately) only one thing: my daughter.

The Crow (Joolz) - perhaps her new cd will be sold at the NMA tour venues

Meeting up with an old pal who I should see more often... and playing a round of golf whilst stoned. Always a laugh.

whilst stoned.
Outrageous - never touch the stuff myself ::) :o ;) ;D

Ha! Actually, I very rarely indulge. But when you're playing golf and you miss the ball on the tee for the fourth, fifth, sixth time and it just keeps getting funnier... priceless! ;D
I don't think the people behind us were too impressed, though. ;)

taking my 13 year old daughter to her first NMA gig together with 2 daughters of 2 longterm NMA friends of mine last night in Alkmaar and seeing the 3 girls really having a great night. Driving back home after the gig and singing "Die trying" with the 3 of us. An unforgettable night.
"and they are growing up so fast, heaven knows, they are growing up so fast"

moved to germany 14 years ago so getting back to uk and eating chips with curry sauce. sounds a bit like smalltown england lyric.

You can't get the utter magnificence of chips and curry in Germany?
Well, that's another war just waiting to start, right there...
;D

Well I had a lovely evening drinking at my mates house last night and talking utter shite on here. ;)

just read this in the comments bit on youtube from the Angry Planet video:
"that bit when the mushroom cloud appears...the lovelly bit of calm tranquill music that builds up before letting rip.if you listen carefully theres so much going on....pure ******* class"

A meet with friends... it was supposed to be 'just hanging out with my mate at his house and watching a film or something'... turned out to be 4 and a half hours in the pub with another great mate, talking utter bollocks and laughing like loons... I really needed that after the last couple of days. And why do afternoon drinks taste so much better than night-time drinks? ;)
It was worth the 50 minute bus ride home with a bladder that was saying 'why didn't you take that last piss before you left the pub, knobhead?' ;D
-
Ahhh, afternoon drinking. My favourite...

Only two days to wait to see NMA live in Wiesbaden :) :) :) :)

I've been for check ups for both my brain tumor and my kidney cancer.
There is no sign of any changes since my last scans so it looks very possitive on both counts.
No signs of anymore tumors growing in my brain, left over bit of kidney or anywhere else.
I still have liver damage but again,nothing has changed since last time.
:)
Will be scaned every year from now on,not every six months so that will save on pertol and hotel bills.

Brilliant news. Well done Wezzy

Turning the tables a bit on members of the lds church by asking them difficult questions instead, was a bit surprised they found it hard to answer. Had to quote a few trusted nma lyrics at times. Think they were surprized I took 5 to speak to them

In this case my little knowledge was dangerous to to them, fck I even knew who joseph Smith was, though I said I was heading to costa whilst chucking a few heavy vape clouds lol

Big health check, bloods and all, I'm now down to four pills a day! Things are looking up, health-wise!
-
Spent a chunk of the evening mostly stripped off with a slightly camp younger man digging his fingers all over me, rubbing, massaging, I can't deny it felt good at times...
...
Oh, what? I saw an osteopath today and what made me happy was that he might have finally diagnosed what is up with my back problem I've been having for the last couple of years (dodgy parts of my spine, apparently, but very fixable).
What did you think I meant? Oh, you lot and your dirty minds, I despair...
;) ;D
-
What definitely contributes to my overall feeling of happiness is the fact that I am going to see a certain band in Cologne tomorrow - won't mention who, you probably haven't heard of them anyway... :D
-
getting my interwap back after 10 days.
>:(
Talktalk are a really crap service provider because i've had 2 new routers in the last year due to then being hacked.
Who provides you and what do you get for your cashola ?
I need to change.
-
I'm with talk talk n always found them ok , had one or two minor issues along the way but they have always been resolved quickly. Yes they are a few quid cheaper than bt or sky ( my only other options in my area. Liked the fact they were happy enough to put the phone line in with no charge (bt wanted over £200) Have recently renewed with them.
-
My NMA mugs arrived today. A ak-47 for me and a poison street for a friend. A massive thanks to Viv for all his help. Would like to wish everyone involved with nma a great holiday - the band, road crew, management, shop and of all the family.
-
Prezzies wrapped and under the tree.
All shopping done.
Just a bit of study/homeowrk to do tomorrow.
Off to see the aminals at the wildlife park on Friday.
Gingerbread made.
Mince pies made.
Cake all finished.
happy days

Just bought (almost literally) tons of veggies so the bunnys and guinea pigs won't have reason to complain over the holidays - dog food is already in the house - so the most important things have been sorted out. One more hour at work left...
Happy Holidays everyone, I hope you'll all have a wonderful time. :)
-
Aw, my last day at work before the Christmas break and someone I work with but I don't know particularly well on a personal level bought me a Christmas present for being so 'lovely' and so 'nice' when they were going through some personal difficulties...
Heck, I wasn't expecting that, I just thought I was doing anything that any halfway decent human being would do! Lovely gesture, though.
BTW, it was alcohol. Blimey, how did they know? ;D
-
Hopefully its a bottle of the good stuff, whatever that may be.
My h.r. Giger postcard / Xmas card made it to Germany. It least the postman / sorting office staff got to look at some excellent art for a change.
Oh got some tattoo flash art (the stuff you see on a tattooist wall) 11 A3 laminated sheets n have put it on my wall . Makes for some excellent alternative art work. Always good to have something different
-
Another Xmas Survived, always seems like so much fuss n effort to me but if that's your thing who is this introverted weirdo (lol) to judge.
Had a really good time personally, hope all the family are thinking the same today.

Pretty shoes. Shallow, I know, but sometimes shallow is just what's needed 👠👠👠

Getting rid of every social-media trace of someone who you used to think the world of, a 'true friend' >:( yet you came to realise they were a total user who dropped you as soon as she found someone 'better'...

After an awful month or so, took Cromwell back to England for re-homing. Having steeled myself for leaving him in the caring hands of The Dogs Trust at the last minute family friends stepped in and have taken on the job of "foster-parents"giving much needed time to work out a way forward. Those who have dogs will I'm sure understand how much that means, those who don't will just think wtf ? Don't matter to me and Keren - Carol and Ron make us very fracking happy :)

Excellent news , having met Cromwell I know he is a lovely dog and will make a great pet for his new owners. Good to know he is in safe hands and agreed that pets soon became part of the family and are nearly important as kids

Shaving my head - always good. Done it myself - normal clippers, small precision clippers n then electric razor. Enjoying my head tattoo as well - maybe I've been watching Vikings too much lol
-
When someone you've known since you were 16 is given weeks to live. Kinda brings everyday nonsense into context.
-
Sorry to hear that drummy
Me - well another small addition to my sleeve. One war baby. The other two will follow. What next - a small face hugger , as it will fill an awkward space nicely with it long tail n spider like body . Pic of new tattoo will follow once Rory updates his instagram

It's a year to the day I left hospital after I died on the 10 Jan 2016 last year. I'd say I'm pretty bloody happy about that. And I feel pretty good, lost weight, exercise more, eat better, drink less, work the same rate though but you cannot have everything. Hopefully a warning has been heeded! :)
-
Cheers MR, Stephanie & Pol :-*
Proper happy stuff that ldopas :)

Glad to hear it, Idopas. Funny you should post today, I was at the doctors this morning worried about certain heart-related symptoms (as you know, you can't be too careful if there's anything unusual going on chest-wise), turns out it's almost certain to be related to my recent change in meds although they're doing a 24-ECG monitor thing just to be sure.
You joining us for any of the forthcoming UK dates?

Glad to hear you are making a steady recovery ldopas ;)

Just googled what a 'bridie' was, never having heard of them. What's the difference between that and a 'breakfast bridie'?
If it's anything as good as a lorne sausage, I need another trip to Scotland. :D
-
Oh right I guess you found out its basically a pastie . Your standard bridie has a mince ( generally beef) n normally onion filling. I actually went into the bakers for a steak bridie ( think steak pie with a different shape pastry) . The breakfast bridie has a steak n black pudding filling n is probably at least twice the size of your average pastie

Throw a runny egg into that mix and I'll be hammering on your front door sometime in the next few days. ;D

Scotch pie. Used to eat those a lot. Thin pasty cup with a lid with a small hole and peppered meat inside. Never see them in the shops anymore.
Could really go for one right now !!!!!
-
What we would starve without pies lol. The Scottish must have one of the most unhealthy diets going where else would even think of deep frying a mars bar.
-
Dare I mention sport. Very happy to see wins for Scotland in the rugby (sorry any welsh members but it been 10 years in the making) Also a vital win for Kilmarnock in the spl , the bottom half of the table is incredibly close with only a few points between 7th and 12th

Started to get the roll man who delivers to the shop into nma . Gave him the d&w film to watch and t&c so far and he has liked both. Spreading the gospel
-
It's good to spread the word! On another Forum, I'm turning quite a few fans of, believe it or not, Marillion into devoted NMA fans!
Just goes to show that there are so many people out there who would love this band if the bloody music media gave them a bit of a shout-out!
-
A few things at the moment we will see NMA live at the 18 th of march on the 20 of march I will fly over to Bradford visit my aunt there and will have a appoittment with Joolz and on the 30 of march NMA will play live on my bday in Rotterdam so looking really for these days ahead ;)
-
Looking forward to my next appointment with Rory at Terry's Glasgow ( wens 15th march ) . Getting a face hugger to continue the giger theme on my sleeve n it fill a awkward space. Will pick up a ticket for the garage when I'm in Glasgow that day. Not long till the 4th April, really looking forward to it.
On other stuff the motogp season starts again on Sunday 26th march , awesome stuff, hopefully it will be as good as last year

I take it the "north-loop" is only a part of the nurburgring , played the track on the play station a few times, and I know its open to the public

Woohoo, that sounds really cool, all of it!!! :)
So...I got the Dortmund gig to look forward to as well...not much longer now!!!
And the week after, on March 26, we are picking up dog no. 3...an eleven-year old lady who has spent her entire life at a horrible shelter in Italy. She ahst several infections (ears, mouth) but makes a very friendly impression overall. She has already been saved from the shelter she was at and is now being treated - and we can't wait to pick her up. :)
I do hope the other two will like her - but we have never had big issues with them when it comes to other dogs. :)
-
Good and bad points . Finally got the keys to my new flat. The bad having to move all my stuff n I have a lot plus I'm one floor up n the new flat is two up Got a few weeks tho to move n it's only next door.

Oh the joys of moving... ;D I am really not good at throwing things away - but when I moved a couple of years ago - my did I throw stuff out! :D I just didn't want to have to pack it all up, carry it and then unpack it all again. Didn't last, though.
Good luck wth the move and hope you'll be happy in your new home. :)

Another 4 hours spent under the needle (22 so far on the giger stuff) . Pain wasn't too bad today maybe a 2/5 . Next session 19th April . Thanks again to Rory n everyone at terry's Glasgow
Am I missing something? Facehugger as in Aliens or something else?
-
Yes face hugger from alien, all my recent tattoos have been hr giger ones
-
Cool mate. Where have you had it and how is it posed? On a face or as if jumping? Intrigued. Its something I would never dream of having through my own taste but can appreciate it :)

It's sitting belly up similar to the pic . I got it to fill a awkward gap , its on my forearm, its tail goes between two other tattoos n the body sits on my inner elbow.
-
Nice one. Grey shaded? :)
-
Yes it matches my other tattoos
-
I love grey shaded tattoos. Gives it more dimension. Nice one mate.
-
Definitely agree, most of giger's work was in black and grey. Black and grey work really well with todays modern equipment and inks . Mind you still plenty of people into traditional stuff. Definitely a lot more girls getting tattoos these days as well, everytime I've been in there has been as girls as guys in getting work done. The social boundaries have definitely been broken

Back in 88 during my first week at Poly I saw a guy in my class wearing an NMA t-shirt (logo). It looked well worn. When i asked him about it he did not know anything about NMA, just liked the print. I thought weirdo alert. Anyway I soon changed that and we became mates. Since moving to Germany we dont get the chance to meet up so often. He is flying in from Belfast On Thursday and then we will make our way up to see NMA in Kiel on Sunday. Cannot wait. Nice little road trip.

Good evening @ all I had a good flight to Bradford this evening now Im sitting in a really nice hotel :) and count the hours for my appoitment with Joolz :)
@ all I wish a very nice evening and a good start in a new week

Hey, that's nice that you've kept in touch through the years, hope you'll both have a blast! :)
Me, I am counting down the days until we get to pick up our new dog on Sunday. I am super impressed with the rescue organisation I have to say! They have just sent me the complete set of medical records for her - this will be very helpful once she is here. We already know that she is not 100% well and will require further treatment, she is 11, so not young anymore. But they have already started the treatment and will add all the info our vet will need. Very impressive! Is it Sunday yet??!! :D
-
Hope you had a great time in Bradford n Joolz didn't put you through too much pain, I'm sure she gave you a tattoo to be proud of .
Congrats on the new dog Stephanie

Thought I would share this video, most of us probably know this stuff already, but I thought it was really well done and I haven't had a vape related post in a while. If it can finally help someone totally quit the cigs then all the better.

Going to Asda to pick up a few supplies, putting my stuff through the scanner... and realising that the bloke stood next to me was someone I used to knock about with in the 90's and haven't seen in the best part of 20 years! It was great to catch up, top bloke. :D
Although I wondered if he ever knew that I once had, ahem, 'a romantic encounter' with his sister... :-\ ;D
-
Ach he probably knew his sister was a slag (Deirdre by chance) lol, joking aside made my first ever 1 litre bottle of e liquid yesterday, you buy the litre bottle about 20% full of concentrate and add your own vg pg and Nic . Cost about £35 all in to make (3mg strength Nic) . It needs to 'steep' for at least a couple of weeks so will report back. Crazily this is most e liquid suppliers way around the tpd , your only allowed to sell nicotine containing liquids in 10ml bottles come May, so people have started selling its separate components n you mix it yourself. Anyone interested give me a shout now is the time to buy your nicotine as its still available in large bottles at 72mg (will be 18mg max n 10ml bottles only come 20/5/17 ) . Its so easy to do n plenty of videos available.

That vile nasty cow Katie Hopkins getting hit hard in the pocket. Maybe she will think before opening her cesspit mouth and rattling on her keyboard. Should have made it take the walk of shame game of thrones style, then strung the ***** up before making it a slave for life to a large family of refugees

THANK YOU, YOU LOVELY PEOPLE
:-*

Today I was posting to this thread earlier but everything disappeared into the void of all ever lost posts. Or something like that.
Anyway, I'm happy on behalf of both of you Idopas and Wessy due to your excellent recovering. That's the best thing someone could expect to happen!
What makes me happy also is today I was doing metal and woodworks outside. I'm constructing new stairs for both of the buildings. It's stained wood that should last for long time.
-
That's great news, Wessexy Witch and Idopas, reading such happy posts makes me really happy, too!!!! :) May many more years filled with such good news follow.
I am looking forward to the long Easter weekend - the weather forecast isn't too good - but who knows? Besides, any day off with the doggies is good. :) The new dog, Azalea, is settling in nicely, such a sweet thing, amazing, considering the hell she has been through. She is much fitter than we thought and seems to be enjoying her new life with us. Just watching them all makes me super happy. :D :D :D
Now if only I could get myself to go running more regularly - I got a 10k run on April 29th...and I am so not fit for that. ::)
-
Good to hear that Azalea is settling in nicely. So 10k is about 6+ miles fck I would be happy if I walked that far

Spotted on the local news (for local people) the other night..... I recognised that one of The Family* came up lucky in a real life treasure hunt in Cheltenham.
You lucky bugger !
Well done to you and your own family.

In Finland we have Friday and Monday holy days. I just arrived yesterday to father-in-law's summer cottage a bit norther and it's a silent and peaceful lake here. There's still 50 centimetres thick ice on it and our only neighbours do some winter fishing. We have sauna here and there's also a pair swans at the lake.
-
Summer cottage with 50cm of ice , think I would be staying in the sauna lol

We got a new dog on Saturday :) :)
he's a Parson Jack Russell called Erik Winter ( Erik after the Viking from Lost Kingdom and Winter well he's white like snow and also after an album by a certain band)
He's 5 months old and Erik is completely deaf ( It can be a genetic issue with white animals)
He's settled in really well but my cat isn't too happy at the moment but sure everything will be fine.
The cat stands and hisses at him but as he can't hear she gets no reaction, we still talk to him as though he can hear but I suppose that's natural
It's going to be hard work training him without him hearing but I'm sure we'll cope :) :)

Erik looks a nice dog, good luck with the training.
-
Nice dog !
league safety for Kilmarnock, not even involved in the play off this season. Here's to a 25th straight season in the premiership
-
Oh, Erik is such a cute dog - it's awesome you have taken in a deaf dog!!!
Don't worry, you'll soon get used to working with him - dog mind signs and body language more than words anyway - so it will be easy enough for him. I know people who have had deaf dogs and in the end you wouldn't have been able to tell...they never stopped talking to them - but that's fine!
Good luck and I hope the poor cat will get used to him soon :)
-
Very nice dog, Red. :) I wished we could have a dog also but we're so allergic.
-
Nice one Red - all the best to you and Erik :-*
Just back from a week in Lisbon for our first anniversary and the housemartins have returned. The weather is beautiful and lost myself for a while watching them fly up and down the street. We have 2 nests under the eaves of our house. Sometimes the simplest pleasures are the best 8)

Meeting up for a boozy pub afternoon with two of my very best mates from just over 30 years ago... thanks to various bullshit, we've not been in the same place for nearly a decade. Good times.
Mind you, I've now got that thing where you've been drinking all afternoon and now I just want my bed, but if I go there I'll be awake at 3am... aw sod it, a couple more cans and possibly a dodgy kebab house cheeseburger... work at 9am tomorrow is a long way off, right? ;)

Enjoy your morning hangover

Nowadays, it's a morning and afternoon thing... sod it, WORTH it!

Not sure is it a correct topic but we've just had couple of very crazy days in politics. Very interesting things been happening.
Maybe you've heard something about a certain populist party called the True Finns that have been anti-EU, anti-immigration and all the crap you know. Well, last weekend they voted for a new chairman and this time they chose a really nasty guy with fanatical thoughts. Well the prime minister dissolved the parliament quickly (because of the ultra right values that the party had) that lead the True Finns to split into two groups (moderate and fanatics) and the other formed up a new group. But later on the prime minister actually backed up the decision when they realised there was enough people to assemble a parliament. But the main group of TF party is now dispersed.
At least I'm satisfied that their party lose touch of collaboration among the fanatical side. 8)

Finally managed to save n purchase that ikea lignt I was after, certainly was a right pain to fit the main flex due to the length of it, had to trim it a few times, then it was the simple case of fitting 50 fiddly plastic bits lol

Come to Mainz Dude ;D
Well I paid in euros at 32.20 each for print at home tickets from :

It seems that is equivalent to £ 28.29.
Have to say that gigs here in Germany seem a bit pricey - not an NMA thing, but generally. Dunno why ???
-
Good to see Billy Connolly getting a knighthood
-
Not sure can we afford to Mainz, but it could be fun for sure. (For some reason I've found myself more often in a situation that I nearly promise to do a gig or two - then realize I'm broke actually.) ;D
Would be nice to see the Toy Dolls too...think they'll have a gig there too.

Postman was here yesterday.

Mainz is a lovely place. Had the pleasure of a weekend there a few years ago. I might see if I can do a gig abroad one day.

"taxi day in troon. The Glasgow taxi drivers take special needs kids. "doon the watter " for the day out. Local business lays on all they need and decorate there windows etc with ballons n stuff. Its a annual event thats been going for 50 plus years. It even stayed dry for them

Mid-Summer festivities are starting soon. Here, the whole country goes always mad. Cities are empty because everyone drives to countryside to each' own summer cottage. We'll be closing today very soon, and I'll have 5 hours to drive to our usual place.

Good on Troon :)
Finland is quite a big country isn't it :D
My new vest arrived today and is proudly being worn right now 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

I would buy an NMA vest and proudly wear it, but I don't like my shoulders... odd, I know, but it goes to show that middle-aged men can also have 'body issues'... :-[
-
Go " old skool " n cut the sleeves of a t shirt that way your shoulders aren't exposed as much . Been wearing a few vests / sleeveless t shirts of late, at least the heavily tattooed arm looks ok imo
-
but it goes to show that middle-aged men can also have 'body issues'... :-[
You know what I say about body issues ? _FUCK EVERYONE ELSE ;D :-* You wanna look like whatever you wanna look like then go ahead and do it :)
Having said that ..... my son called vests on blokes "wifebeater shirts" and he might have an albeit confused point: personally I think they do look a bit dodgy and give a, shall we say non positive look ???
I'd go with Pols suggestion with cap sleeve cut off T shirts, thats kinda sexy actually :-[
-
Oh shit, I just realised how Anna must have laughed about my silly 'body issues' comment... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Everyone has "issues"thoughts and feelings about themselves. It's what makes us humans.

Have to say that gigs here in Germany seem a bit pricey - not an NMA thing, but generally. Dunno why ???
They sure are - I try to go to gigs in the Netherlands or Belgium whenever possible - usually that's cheaper...and not much further to drive.
The reason for the high ticket prices is a special tax the Germans invented a couple of years ago >:( - this tax has to be paid by all artists performing here in Germany. It's downright ridiculous - what we pay for the cheapest seats at a venue here may buy you the best seats at a venue in Belgium, for example.

Sorry to be so self centred. But 6-month hospital check up yesterday, Consultants words; blood pressure "perfect", cholesterol "of a twenty year old", heart "in very good shape". Always very very good to hear after the nightmare 2016.

Awesome news, mate.

Great news from ldopas, indeed. We all are happy that both ldopas and Wessy are fit and feeling well nowadays.
I'm happy about the past weekend. We did a lot of things. Went to markets and bought six albums. I also sawed the boards for new terrace stairs that I've been designing (a bit too slowly). And now it also looks like that the delicious Jerusalem artichokes (Helianthus tuberosus) are growing. I planted 30 of them in June.
-
Well done Wessexy ;)
Godd for you idopas - long may you stay strong & stable :D
-
It makes me happy to read the good health news on here :) Keep it that way ;)
Me, I'm just happy with my furry babies not all of which are in perfect good help but - hopefully - on the mend. :)

How long is your growing season up there fella? When do you get the first frosts? I'd have guessed you would need a glasshouse to get stuff started/finished off? :-*
p.s. as for Rabbits - kill 'em all ;D

As long as they don't go back in time and eat some bad American actors, your bunnies are OK with me.

And now it also looks like that the delicious Jerusalem artichokes (Helianthus tuberosus) are growing. I planted 30 of them in June.
How long is your growing season up there fella? When do you get the first frosts? I'd have guessed you would need a glasshouse to get stuff started/finished off? :-*
At earliest we might get first frosts on October or sometimes even at September. Latter is very uncommon. Nowadays October it's more likely but after that it goes back to "warm" and moist. It's only until new year when it turns to winter seriously. (In eighties we got winter in October or November.)
What comes to artichokes, we've had them once earlier. I think it was November when I dug them up. It's also nice to keep them sometimes "over winter" beneath the ground. They're ready for pick up on March or when ever the soil isn't frozen anymore. :)

Meeting some good old friends at next weekend. There's also the Tall Ships Race fest in Turku we'll go on Sat. And also - my Summer holiday starting finally... Oh gotta love it. Although we didn't make it to Mainz or other gigs in Germany this time. Wish you all a great weekend and sunny days out there.

2 years ago today I was having my brain tumour removed.
Things are going really well and I have lowered my medication by 1 dose with not too much trouble or consequence.
:)
Today was also the last day for this years nursery kids,so we partied all day. Just tomorrow to get through doing all the cleaning and re-vamping for September.
Off for a slap up meal with Landells later in a lovely pub in view of Silbury Hill.
Today is a good day.
:)
The fact that I've been wearing a posh designer dress (Dickens & Jones,darling) that cost £2 from the Sally Army shop and have been looking blummin "c.ock On" all day is an added bonus.
:D
-
There's a funny tradition at our work to bring superb delicacies to workmates before starting a summer holiday. And we are making it a tuff "challenge" to others in a way: "who'll bring the biggest cake or pie this year?" It's even a bit expensive funny habit as sometimes one might spend 20-30 euros for this thing.
Well, this time I made twelve supersized hamburgers with self made tasty seitan steaks in hoi sin sauce, tahini and vegetables for our usual long coffee break. Ha! Everyone got so stuffed that they even moved their lunch time further that they could digest their own portions. ;D
-
We don`t have this funny tradition here in germany, only a minority doesn`t work (or isn`t allowed to work) at the same time (teachers) or so called "Betriebsferien"
I have to work - others with own kids (their summer holiday started today) are off (and come first to be off, a holiday with niece or nephew or kids of partners or friends sometimes don`t count) - no party at all for me >:(

J has gone to Blackpool to watch the world matchplay darts with his "Squad". If he can get himself shown on telly holding up a rude banner I have wagered him £20. They have seats down the front so I'm expecting him to do me proud !
:D
So in his absence I have made 2 batches of plum jam with the plums from my little tree.
:)
Yesterdays batch was your regular traditional plum jam but todays has a little hidden ingredient...a gurt big splosh of spiced rum. that should liven things up !
;)
I'll tell you what it's like when I taste test it when it's cooled.

Yesterday we went to a Puntala Fest opening club in Turku. The main act was Masacre 68 from Mexico and they rocked very hard. :)
Tomorrow the festival starts at Lempäälä and it's always a total crackin' lovely set of brilliant hullaballoo! Here's a link you'd find out what bands are playing at the festival:

The reverse osmosis water filter I told about in "what pisses you off" is working now again. I checked couple of vids about faq's concerning them and called the firm where we purchased it two years ago. It seems I had to repressurerize a bottle containing the water storage. Never done it earlier but finally managed well. :)
-

For sure!!!! :D It made me really happy to read about your friend's happy ending - wishing her all the best for her future - she sure deserves it.

I've constructed new outside stairs for our house. I started the project in Spring and after all I've spent 500 euros for it. But today the project was ready with 8 sturdy legs, weatherproofed wood, 500 stainless screws and tarred surfaces on cut sides. And it looks nice!
Also, yesterday we heard a brown owl and also a northern eagle owl at evening. Woo-hoo!

-
Also, I've done quite a lot of things recently. Crafting little doors to the balcony. The outside stairs are ready and looks good. And I also did a discharge well (how'd you call that in English?) for the drainage system that works maybe fine.

Just called an old friend I haven't seen in ages. Man, I think it's 14 years since I talked with him last time... They've got a kid, a house and all the stuff. Think I'll turn back later to them. So good memories.

Me and my wife will travel to Thailand soon. It's refreshing to see the sun there during a time of pitch black polar night in Finland.

Looking forward to a weekend trip to see Black Star Riders in Cambridge and Portsmouth - it's been ages since my last roadtrip so I am a bit excited. :D

Aw, that moment when you come in from the usual work drudge, pick up your post... and your ticket for your forthcoming NMA Christmas gig (Nottingham, in my case) is amidst the usual crap... :D
Truly can't wait, it's always a highlight of my year... having the ticket in your hand always makes it seem a bit more 'real'.

Future plans include a rip skin jigsaw piece (saw films) a punisher skull logo n a unmasked predator

Evenin all. It´s been a while. Just wanted to say finding decent new music makes me happy. Not saying there isn´t lots out there, just guess i spend too much time in the comfort of old faves. Anyway for anyone interested there is a great 7" by Flatworms called Red Hot Sand/Petulance. Reminds me in places of Warsaw and for something a bit more folky,Michael Head and the red elastic bands - Picasso. He seems to have quite a large back catalogue. Hope you like.

I booked a hotel from the city of Turku for next Fri. There's gonna be Raoul Bjorkenheim's Triad gig in the town... Ok, so first I booked another hotel but cancelled it soon afterwards because the price didn't include a breakfast although the price was quite high. We should had paid for 36 euros extra for it. Then the new hotel I booked is actually the same hotel I visited twenty years ago - and they actually have a very good morning breakfast. They even reside near to the gig place. Excellent.
-
Oh yea, and we had an excellent trip in Thailand. Just returned back last Thursday after spending 2 weeks there. My wife's parents live nowadays for half year there. Very curious and exotic, damn hot and sunny for most of the time.
-
Ive just discovered i can connect my mp3 to my 08 Corsa. Little things and all that
-
Well I always tend to think my further plans during this period of year. Soon the year is over and there's time to think things a little bit further for a while. If I don't count my usual do's and don'ts at our courtyard, it will take few months and we should paint my working room. First removing old paint. New paints will probably cost about 1000€... Ok, we should buy a warehouse to the "garden". Also, I'll need new winter tires to my car. And repair the cars. And.... wait a minute. It's "what makes you happy" thread ain't it? Ok, I'd be happy if it all will become true. ;)
-
Well to be fair, I'm not sure anyone of you are interested in the logging stuff I keep complaining about? (Maybe Anna might know what I mean.) Ok, it was a pity that the snow storm damaged the forests here so hard. At least it's nothing that I'd cheer here. Nearly EVERY pine and birch' tops fell off. The road that leads here from a big highway is 2,5 km's distance and along that there is about 40 trees that fell down. Fortunately spruces maintained their position, but there are about 13 birches in our courtyard and five of them are cut from middle due to massive weight of snow we had on Tuesday and Wendsday... :-\
If there's something that I'd cheer now here is we only have a little amount of birch here and we've saved them for future plans until logging them to firewood. Now I think there's a good time to do some of them. Birch has one of the best of heat of combustion.

I cooked quinoa steaks stuffed with seaweed, lupine, smoked pepper, crushed soya grain and heaps of garlic. Yummy.

We adopted yet another dog last Sunday...a 14-year-old Retriever mix from Italy, abandoned by her owners.
She has severe arthritis and is a bit incontinent - but she is such a sweet thing and we hope that, with the right medication, we can give her a couple of happy months with us. We got her through an awesome organisation we already adopted a dog from in March...and they are paying for her vet bills since they are happy she still found a home.
Her name is Angel, btw. ;) Seems quite fitting.
Counting 5 dogs (one of them only temporary as his owner is in hospital), 4 rabbits and 7 guinea pigs. Crazy busy - but to see them all happy sure makes us happy, too. :)

A check from Scottish power apparently a refund for my old flat ( fck knows why I had a pre payment meter) but gift horses etc . Not saying how much but enough for a cpl of hours in the tattoo chair or right night out , probably nearly enough to cover hotel and rail for a away day gig

I had my first client for counselling today.
I have a placement at an agency called Ipsum.

That they found the boys in Thailand. Fingers crossed they can get them all out safely.
-
Have just been reading on BBC online they may have to teach them how to dive, or wait until the water recedes which could take months.But at least they are still alive.
-
Absolutely. I read that too. I suspect theyll be in there for months being fed and watered. Then their is the rehabilitation after. But good news at least
-
That they found the boys in Thailand. Fingers crossed they can get them all out safely.
Oh yes, that's happy news indeed - I can't even begin to imagine what it must have been like for them...and their families. :o
I heard an interview with a German cave diver on the radio this morning (he had been to this specific cave a couple of years ago) and he said that it is going to be extremely difficult and very dangerous to try and get that group out of there by teaching them to dive - but it seems there aren't that many options. At least this will give them something to do - and maybe the fact that they can work on being part of their rescue mission, so to speak, will help boost their morale.
I really hope they can get oput of there soon.

On the dreaded FB I am member of a group called #ichbinhier (translates to Iamhere). This group was inspired by a Swedish group of the same name. Their aim is to try and oppose hate speech on the internet (in this case FB) by commenting in a calm and factual manner. Someone will point out a post on FB that is likely to attract trolls and the members of the #ichbinhier group will start to comment, using the hashtag, supporting each other and anyone who tries to be reasonable.
It's an attempt to show that there are still sensible people out there and that we are not willing to leave the net to the haters. Don't know if I have explained that well enough - it IS a great group, members will also support each other when things get a bit too rough - which, sadly, is bound to happen.
Each night, one of the moderators will start a "campfire" where they'll post about the past day, post thoughts - and people can chime in with their own.
Last night, one of the moderators posted one and added a link to NMA's "Vagabonds" - and then quite a few people replied with links to other NMA songs or simply stating their love for the band. :)
Shouldn't come as a surprise in a group like that, come to think of it - but I really love it and thought I'd share.

For me, today, finding out that a band that you've loved for a long time, seen live many times and genuinely thought had split up is, in fact, still together, there's a new tune on Youtube and they have a new album out in a few weeks! :D
In this case, it's Alkaline Trio, new album out at the end of August and tour dates imminent. Here's the new track if anyone's interested...

Thanks Anna, first day today and, damn, so much to learn! It's all a bit technical and I was always a bit more of an English and History person at school rather than Science or Technology... but I think I landed the gig thanks to being a rather good bullshitter and I'm pretty sure I can bullshit my way through it! Head = a bit battered tonight, a couple of large brandies and an early night will help... thanks for the goodwill message, me duck!

Haven't been back in many years... I'd love to but if you're reliant on public transport it's a bit of a pain to get to! I must make the effort one day, though, too many happy memories to mention...
Now this is funny... I'm Forum friends (on anther bands Forum) with a chap who owns a hotel in Barmouth, I'll dig out the name of the hotel, can't remember it right now.
And does Greg still have The Last Inn? ;D

Nothing else to say :) :) :) :)

One good turn deserves another.....the lady at the taxi rank in Prestatyn has given little man some sweets everytime we caught a taxi back to base. So we decided to get her some flowers as a thank you. I dont think Ive seen anyone I dont know so pleased at a gift. Kinda made me very happy :)

It's nice to make a little gesture that makes someone so happy, isn't it? I wish it would catch on more in this somewhat depressing world...

Predator is awesome , one of the best ever imo

New Predator movie out now, trailer here... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50_Ala5BKBo
Aw, it might not look all that good from the trailer but it's written and directed by Shane Black (writer of Lethal Weapon 1 and 2, The Last Boy Scout, the Long Kiss Goodnight, and the somewhat forgotten The Monster Squad) and that same gentleman directed two other superb films, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and The Nice Guys, so I'm hopeful... seeing it this weekend and me and my mate might sneak a couple of beers into the cinema with us! ;)

Probably does'nt sound like a big deal (it was massive to me),as i have posted elsewhere i am waiting for 2 new hip replacement operations.After visiting the Hospital last week that is not going to happen,my blood test results came back and there are problems i am going in for tests etc.Anyway back to my happy event,after being house bound for the best part of 4 months a couple of mates managed to get me out of my flat and into their car.We went for a drive by the coast then in to the country visited 5 Pubs,weather great,out for for 5 hours.As i said does'nt sound like much,but we had a great time,made me feel 100 times better......... :) :)

Getting home to find, as expected, two new albums pushed through my letterbox, two albums from a couple of my favourite 90's bands, Therapy? and Suede. Both released on the same day. Truly, my cup runneth over...
Just in case you fancy a listen, here's 'Don't Be Afraid If Nobody Loves You' from the Suede one...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oi6DViA7Xuo
... and one from Therapy?, 'Callow', a bit more hard rocking.

1st class work, great shading gives depth, faultless. Your skin is starting to become valuable Pol ;)

Cool tat, Pol.
Also nice to find you guys n' gals here again. :)
I've been trying to cope with my quite bad resources. Saving for eyeglasses. Yea, I need them nowadays as my seeing has gone worse. But it feels like there's gonna be hope in a future. I should do logging a hell lot at our yard, but also at my father's holiday place during new year celebrities. My right foot has some muscle tension/ problems but I go for a physiotherapist at times.
Hullo, love ya all there.
-
Cheers guys
Get well soon rusco

Hey rusco, nice to hear back from you. All the best, mate.

Cheers. It feels like a warm, nostalgic home to visit here again. ;)
I just placed an order to the shop. The 3 singles album by Justin and a horse tee. Cool.

Lovely weekend with me Dad (evil stepmother in tow, just kidding, love her to bits) in my favourite seaside town, Barmouth... as your loved ones age and get ever closer to the end, days like this become ever more important. And this weekend was a cracker.
(sorry I missed meeting you there dilla, as I said in my PM, next time, eh? ;) )

Congratulations to Marc Marquez on his 5th MotoGp title . At the age of 25 it's his 5th title in his 6th season of racing that class , added to his 125 and moto2 titles he is surely on track to become 1 of the best ever.

I hear you, Master Ray - I did attend ours; it was quite ok, actually, got to sit with some of the "good" people - but, as per usual, after a few drinks certain people, amongst them from the management, started their usual "banter", consisting mostly of more or less racial and sexist slurs. Pathetic.
BUT...I did get to drive (and take home) one of the company cars...the TESLA SUV. Now that was quite an experience... :D

Ok, I think I workedthe phot sharing thing out...what you need to do is, you need to upload the photo you want to share to a page like Flickr- this is what I am using as I still had that account.
Once it's there, click on the phot, use the arrow symbol, then tell it to generate the BBCode. Copy that code and simply paste it into the post (you don't have to use the image function the forum provides). Oh, and it will let you choose the size of the photo you share.
I know there is another way - but I can't remember how that worked.
So, as my test pic I'll add one of our current 3 dogs.

Happy belated birthday, hope you had a great time in London and and even better year ahead of you! :) :) :)

Good old Udo Jürgens...childhood memories. ;D Yep, really not bothered by any of this.
Ghosttrain - it's cute, isn't it? All thos kids who are so worried about how old they are?! 8) I do, however, see their point: to get older and still be as cool as we are...are they going to ever achieve that? ;D
So...I guess I am indeed happy that I'm feeling fine and am still able to do the fun stuff I like...happy and grateful. :)

Totally agree........... 8)

4 days ago my mom was rushed into hospital at 3am with bacterial meningitis. From being able to talk albeit in pain, an hour later, she was twitching and rambling before her body started to shut down.
Ive been to hospital everyday since. Today, she's awake and able to recognise me and hold very confused conversations as she comes out of sedation and four days sleep. She has a long way to go and we dont know any long term effects yet. But by god, the hospital have been fantastic. I think she was on the verge of death, now she's one the road to recovery. Absolutely amazing.
-
Aw heck, mate, glad she's... well, if not out of the woods, then at least on the right path out of there.
God bless the NHS and all who sail in her. :)
-
Hope you're mum is gonna be alright. My thoughts are with you both.
-
Hope all goes well for your Mum.......

Finally managed to get out with the help of my mate,first time out of my Flat for 3 weeks after my second hip replacement operation.He took me shopping then went for a cup of tea at a beach side van............does'nt sound very exciting i'm sure....but for me a great day........... :)
-
Spring is sprung (so i hope ) a couple of my mates came round to see me ,managed to get me up on the roof.Only the second time out after my second hip op........plenty of beers,plenty of sun and plenty music loads of NMA incl.one of my mates has become a huge fan after seeing them at A New Day Festival a couple of years back..............a great afternoon had by all :) :) :)..........

30 more minutes and I'll be off work for 2 weeks. :D
Tons to do in the garden...that makes me feel a bit desperate - but it will be nice to be able to stay up late, sleep in - and enjoy time with the doggies...and the bunnies and guinea pigs as well.
We have had some losses in the pet section, which I mourn...but this always means there is room for another por soul in need of a home, so I try to look at it that way.
And seeing how happy the furry ones are makes me happy...so I guess it's all good.
Wishing all you lovely people a wonderful weekend. :)

OK, for all these folks who think that The Dreaded Facebook is an evil somewhere between 'fascism' and 'people who ride their bikes at high speed on the pavement with scant regard for pedestrians' (both parties, I will add, have their own place in Hell)...
Got a friend request today... I never get friend requests, my FB circle of chums is very select! And it was from an old friend from the 90's who I genuinely believed was dead. We were very involved in the local band circuit back then and we always got along pretty well, even (briefly) dated for a bit. And then she moved away. And the next time I saw her was about five years later, ran into her in my town when she was visiting her parents and, damn, she looked awful. Apparently she was battling eating disorders and drug abuse and, shit, she looked like she had one foot in the grave. A gorgeous girl now looking like a skeleton, brown teeth, huge bags under her eyes, thick glasses because her eyesight was failing. :'(
After that, nothing, none of our mutual friends heard anything from her and someone, one day, heard a rumour that she had died and I just took it as read. Bear in mind that is from days when social media wasn't so prevalent that you couldn't find anyone, anywhere... :-\
So 'what made me happy' today was to get back in touch with her and hear that she's happy and healthy, she got over her problems and has a nice life nowadays.
See? Social media has some upsides! :D
-
What a lovely story....... :)

That is good. You've just got to keep moving if bad things happen. Stay as and where you are and it never gets better. Keep on moving. Or as Churchill said:
"If you're going through hell, keep going." :)

Just came across this (https://www.msn.com/en-ca/lifestyle/smart-living/im-an-american-who-moved-to-canada-—heres-why-ill-never-move-back/ar-AACLdOp?ocid=spartanntp) very nice article, about someone who came up here with intentions to stay temporarily, but decided to root herself in The Great White North, for good. As Canadians, we don't get to hear about stuff like this too often, so it's nice when we do. Made me happy to learn that Canada is loved by (at least some of) our neighbours to the south.

Great list, Ghosttrain! :D Love everyone on it as also. Am rather embarrassed to admit it, but that I've never heard of Le Vent Du Nord. Care to link me up with a song or two? ??? Ghosttrain, you might also enjoy Loreena (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftWYMCylL3I) McKennitt, (https://www.youtube.com/user/quinlanroad/videos) she's a bit different from everyone on your list, but still quite astonishing, brilliant - to say the least. You might also enjoy another significant personal favourite Canadian folk artist of mine, Bruce (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-w3VMcY0joo) Cockburn.

No worries Ghosty, I'm a caveman myself, where modern technology is concerned. 8) Been watching a few Le Vent Du Nord clips throughout the night, they're actually really good. Still discovering much of their work, at the moment. Big thanks for the heads-up on Le Vent Du Nord, Ghosttrain, I too love discovering artists/bands I've not heard of before. Cheers! :)

Hopefully buying my new house 😎
Offer put in, accepted. Now the people I'm buying from have to find a house and in a few weeks I will be moving to a new town.
5 years after moving out of my house I am on the verge of owning my own house again. Now I just need a financial settlement with my ex and the divorce can be finalised.

A proper genius, a father of modern computer science whose work had a huge impact in ending World War 2 and was so badly mistreated afterwards due to his homosexuality, ending so sadly in his suicide at 41 years old. The Queen might have pardoned him in 2013, but this is a proper justification for a truly brilliant man.

The NMA Forum seems to be quite a lot livelier over the last couple of weeks than it has been in ages... so that earns a :) from me!

Is their an album coming out?? ;D

Not sure. I don't think the band have mentioned anything.
Joking aside, it's not just about the new stuff coming out in a couple of weeks, it's a bunch of other stuff... just shows what a diverse and fine band of folks we are here!

Ive visited a Neolithic Burial site today. Sun shining, Snowdonia staring down at us and absolute peace and quiet. Pretty much made my day.

OK, I've made no secret of the fact that I think I live in a town full of dickheads. Crewe, in South Cheshire, a grim place where everything seems to be closing down and the only thing that seems to be increasing in the number of homeless people. Business is poor, the local government is pretty much bankrupt and it's a rare day when you don't see some example of physical or emotional violence committed on another human being because people are that drunk / angry / stupid etc...
But. I don't suppose any of you have seen the UK news reports about the Beechmere fire? Basically, a huge nursing home in Crewe caught fire, displacing a great many elderly folks, many of whom had Alzheimers or the like. A clip beneath, you only need to watch a minute or two to get an idea about what I'm talking about...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDCATTXb0bk
And what did 'my town full of dickheads' do..? Responded massively and heroically. There were rescue centres set up, asking for donations and, I swear, there were queues around the block, people giving anything they could spare or afford, vans unloading a big cargo of much-needed items, people donating money, you get the idea.
So, yeah, what 'made me happy' today? Feeling a bit of pride for my hometown. I can't remember the last time that happened. :'(

A bit harsh there about Crewe MR. I do go there to the outskirts to get my car serviced every 25,000 miles. However I must admit to not going much further, as you have a crazy traffic system if memory serves me right. I've always thought the way into Crewe with the station and that tall depressing building behind it, which I think was British Rail gives it the welcome that you must feel entering Mordor! ;)
But a couple of things to mention as I'm in a good mood today! You and I are lucky to live in Cheshire, one of the wealthiest counties in the UK. Whilst there are areas of deprivation like any county, we still live in a pretty decent county. As a person who was born and brought up in Sussex, lived in London for a decade for work and now works for myself from a Cheshire base...I like it!
As for people, I'm a glass half full person......well I try to be. The vast majority of people from whatever education, wealth bracket or "class" are decent I believe. I think any of us would step in, and it doesn't surprise me that people rally to the fire in Crewe. In the end we are all connected to the hopes and dreams of others which we can relate to easily.
-
Good comment, mate. And, yes, the traffic system in and around Crewe is just a nightmare... and probably always will be ;)
And you're right about Cheshire in general. It's a decent place to live, you've got a couple of major cities very close by for the 'city life evenings out' and some lovely countryside not too far away. I suppose I have a distorted view because I live right on the edge of one of the roughest parts of Crewe and I've seen some pretty nasty things, heck, I got the living crap kicked out of me a few years back in a random street attack...
But yeah, perhaps this incident should give me more faith in those 'people' things. To quote the 1984 film Starman... 'Shall I tell you what I find beautiful about you? You are at your very best when things are worst...'

I have just read on another site that i visit (not a member i just use it for info)...one of their members has just posted ''Going to see NMA in Southampton next week,have'nt seen them live since 1989''....i hope he enjoys it and posts comments..
-
Well the guy who had'nt seen NMA since 1989 (see previous post),has posted a comment about the gig....said they were great,Justins voice still as good and powerful,did'nt know all of the songs,said they played a really rousing 51st.State.He is now going to catch up on the stuff he has missed.. 8)..

Could possibly be the guy I was chatting to in the smoking area.Forgot 51st state from setlist.oops. :D

Wow, just read that after posting a slightly disparaging post about The Levs on another thread... I was a fan right from when I saw them supporting NMA, I've bought all their albums since but been disappointed by the way they've sort of turned into their own tribute act, if you know what I mean, just trading on past glories...
Heck, I'd be delighted if they release another great album. Let's not forget NMA have put out some of their very best stuff in their later years,,, maybe The Levs will follow in those footsteps and release their equivalent of BDAW, W or FH.... ???
-
Lets hope so,a very good description of them becoming their own tribute band they have lived off Levelling The Land for far too long (imho)........we shall see.

OK, now I'll say something that is completely self-centered and somewhat ignorant as to the disappointment of others, feel free to blast me for this one... ::)
I'm skint at the moment and there were several gigs in the coming months that I'd resigned myself to not making it to. Now, thanks to this Corona virus thing, they're all rescheduled to later in the year or next year (when, hopefully, my cash situation is better) so I might be able to make them after all...
Yes, I am a total a-hole for thinking this. :-[ ;)

Why would you even think you are? There really isn't anything wrong with looking for the best in what is otherwise a pretty bad situation - it is what everyone does....or should be doing.
I mean, knowing you - from what I can tell from your posts on here - you would never wish anyone harm. So it's totally fine to concentrate on what is good for you. Besides, the fact that you look at it this way won't make it any worse for anyone else.
It would be awesome if one of the positive outcome of this would be if some people got the chance to do things they wouldn't have been able to do otherwise :)

Something quite similar for myself, where I'm living now is right on the edge of my town, I'm doing my best to keep with the self isolation thing but I can go for nice country walks and barely encounter other potentially infected folks. And the weathers so lovely right now! 8)

Yeah going walking is definitely good , I'm more into the mental fitness side , tho my calf muscles are getting there . I live in a valley so its mainly uphill on the way there even if I don't walk anywhere in particular , leave the phone at home, I see more cyclists than cars .

Finised painting my kitchen at last !
It took me all week to do it, well to do the ceilings (twice), all the cutting in (twice) and emulsion the walls (twice and 3 times in places).
I changed from Tango Orange to a custardy yellow.
Next is to do the gloss work (haven't got any so will source that) then to put all the crap back that I cleared out into the front room. It looks like an episode of Hoarders in there !
Having the afternoon off now though.

Wow, I'm impressed!!!There is so much stuff I should do in the house...and I never seem to get round to doing it, same as with most of the garden work. One day...one day...
But the reason I don't get round to doing it is also a reason for me to be happy - so I guess it's somehow alright?
As of February, the number of dogs in the house has risen to 5... :o No. 5 movd in as a foster dog, young guy with a really bad hip who needed a place to have and then recover from surgery. Well - he turned out to be such a charmer that we ended up adopting him...and it turned out that, while his hips ARE messed up, surgery wouldn't really be good at this point for a dog his size - and he is fine, it seems, doesn't need pain meds, we go for walks to build up muscles, he plays with the other dog his age and all that seems to be doing the trick. And he really is such a loveable clown...it makes me so happy just to have all of them around and to know they are, at least at this point in time, happy and healthy.
And then there's the 4 rabbits and 6 guinea pigs...ahem...also happy and healthy - full house, lots of work, lots of dirt, little money - but also lots of love.
-
Walking and general fitness definitely getting better, can put about 7 miles in most days now , lost some weight but its not easy, bananas n slim fast gotta love them aye right

Can finally go fishing :)

Heh.. I dusted off the old lump of steel resembling a mountain bike the other day and took it for a ride.
Best bit was when I was overtaken on an uphill stretch by an old man out jogging!
-
Seen a few "unfit" looking people out on there bikes lately, I find it hard enough to walk up some of hills about here . Got a excellent walk in yesterday (for me anyway) didn't go too far today only done a hour .
-
True story... out for a walk today and, totally out of the blue, ran into an old friend who I haven't seen in about 25 years. And, get this, he's been living about two minutes walk away from where I do. Small world, innit? :D
-
Strange is'nt it....i live on an Island 9 miles x 5 miles (45 sq.miles) and there are people i went to school with who i have never ever seen again in nearly 50 years....
-
I hit the 90 kilo mark ( just over 14 stone) . Was over 100k during lockdown ( about 16 stone) . The sacrifices haven't been as bad as expected, enjoyed walking apart from the blisters but decent socks mainly sorted that. Seriously thinking about the gym when they reopen, hoping nicola puts them before pubs . Posted a few walks from my tracker on my Facebook ( Pol Muldoon) if anyone interested. ( friends request accepted)
-
Have you tried those special walking socks ? they are like two socks in one the idea being one sock (the inner) rubs against the outer sock and not your foot.I got mine from Milletts or whatever they are called now this was pre Amazon days so i am sure they are probably more avail.these days.I found them very good,i used to do a lot of walking before i started falling to bits...two hip replacements and now surgery needed on my right knee.I even completed the annual round Island walk which is 48.1 miles over pretty challenging terrain cliff paths and the like.....keep up the good work.
-
Yes I have some, would definitely recommend them, there called 1000 mile socks . How long did it take to walk 48 miles , I know on half decent roads that's about 15/16 hours
-
About 19 hours if i remember correctly,but as i said there are some pretty difficult cliff path parts very up and down and not smooth pretty stony/rocky at times............it was a challenge and all for charity so i'm glad i did it.A mate of mine up to a couple of years ago used to do it every year(he is a bit younger and obv.more fitter) once was enough for me thanks. :)......
p.s.yes they are the socks i was thinking of..

Aw... I think I mentioned I was in a couple of local rock bands back in the 90's... met up with a couple of those guys for a bit of a blast through those old tunes in a rehearsal room in Stoke last night, just for shit and giggles... what a laugh, even though my ears are still ringing a bit today... and even though absolutely nobody in the world is asking for it, we might write a couple of new tunes just for the fook of it... ;D

Last friday i've met my old band again after 18 years in the session-room and had a great session. We only improvise and record it. Our keyboard player is also doing the covers and when i looked for the recording in the dropbox, he surprised me with this :

You would think with Covod still running rampant and me still wearing a PPE going on 8 months now as my job requires it. that I would be pissed . Well you get use to it figuring my health is most important at this age But what really makes me happy Today is that change IN CURRENT Leadership Has happened .
Now Before we still get back to that famous Lyric in The Who Song Won't get fooled Again Quote " Meet the New Boss same as the Old Boss . On this Occasion No boss could be worse then the recent and Now doposed wannabe Benito Mussolini we had as President and wanted to be like his main pal Vlad the Impaler Putin.
So Congrats & Good luck to the Next President of the United Staes Joe Biden good luck you will need it this Country is still deeply divided on Race & economic in equality & other major Issues but if you can at least tone down the BS and actually get some things done in your next 4 yrs then you will have earned your salary.
Bye Bye Donald YOUR Reality show has been Canceled. 8)
-
Yes, thank fcuk for that!
As you say, the country is still deeply divided. Trump is gone but Trumpism will remain for a long time. It's not just an American problem either. But at least people can focus on solutions now. And right now it's important to just celebrate the good news.

And nothing will change.....
It depends on how you define nothing. If you are affected by racism, homophobia, sexism or any other form of bigotry and discrimination then this will be an important step away from the unashamed outpouring of hatred towards these groups (and many others) that has become a normal everyday occurrence in the States. If you think that the environment matters and that climate change is not a hoax then this election result will have a big impact, with the US rejoining the Paris agreement and Biden vowing to undo the deliberate deconstruction of decades of environmental protection in the States.
I agree that not much will change for the average American in terms of income or the stuff that they can buy in shops or where they can go on holiday. That is probably the reason why he got so many votes. Biden is far from ideal and many of the same old issues associated with US foreign policy will continue unchanged. But for a whole lot of people in the US and for the planet as a whole today's result is far from nothing.

In part I agree. The freedom for racists to have the confidence to spout their bile will end and they'll all crawl back under the woodwork. But they'll still be there. While I dont doubt that the end to open hatred militias roaming the streets, is brilliant, the fact they were empowered to do so so easily, is worrying, and imho everything wrong with American democracy.
Will there be a black man killed by a Police officer, and subsequent riots? Quite probably.
Will the rest of the world feel any difference from Biden, other than what the news tells them? No, probably not.
A change in leader does not solve the societal imbalance in America, or in fact any country. Stunned that the country bought into Trump in the first place, given his character is there for all to see, unlike most politicians. Biden is a career politician, from the same cloth as Obama. American politicians that get to senior positions, all seem to be like medicine salesmen from the old west.
So it will be the same America. Just less hateful of itself....and dont take this as a crtique of everything American. Ive been twice and the ordinary American is decent and down to earth. But has so many extremities as a country.

I do believe that leadership matters which is why I am still baffled that so many people decided to vote for Trump for a second time. Under normal circumstances I agree with you that Biden is just more of the same ('old' America) who will not effect any meaningful changes. But Trump has moved the goal posts so far off the pitch that more of the same (in pre-Trump terms) suddenly looks like good news. That is the sad reality. But at least there is some potential for positive change now whereas before there was the increasing certainty of things getting progressively worse. These days that is good news.

You did Bunny, on the Book of Faeces there was a whip round and a bring and buy sale and they raised nearly £20k! It was so good seeing everyone helping out and contribute what they could. It was a bit hush hush here because the Band and crew are known to listen in.

Some easing of covid measures... Tomorrow I can and I will:
1)go to bookstore, buy a pile of books
2)go to eat & grab a beer in my favourite pub
3)go drink beer to my favourite bar
Covid is far from over, I truly hope everybody will follow all rules & be careful... Anyway, lately I've started to feel buried alive at home, so I'll probably be the first person hanging on the doorhandle when the pub opens.

Lucky u , all non essential shops closed here n not meant to travel out of east Ayrshire, see my about to make what pisses u off rant

Well... It's been tough lockdown as Czech Republic, despite doing fine during the first wave, was hit real bad with the second wave. Frankly I find it a bit odd, easing the measures now... Yea, numbers are slowly going down now but still... In a country of roughly ten million people, there have been over 500 thousand cases (most reported in September & October) and currently the number of known active cases is around 65 thousand. Last time when they opened pubs after first lockdown, my fave pub was packed and nobody seemed to give an eff about anything... Now pubs&restaurants are allowed to open from tomorrow - with half capacity & max four people per table, closing at ten. I hope people will respect the rules. I'll see tomorrow :)
-
As of midnight tonight all Pubs,Clubs,Hotels and Gyms to close for up to a month here in Jersey after a massive rise in cases over the last week,even talk of using Nightingale Hospital.I am not at all surprised people have not taken it seriously enough (present company accepted)i hardly go out.Masks only made mandatory in last couple of days.............nobody seems to give a toss,think that will change now.....Bloody hope so. >:(...

Interesting reading posts from Guernsey and the Czech Republic, which seem to have made the same mistakes the UK did, and then followed pretty much the same pattern and attempts to control it.
But chins up. Theres light at the end of the tunnel, even if its still a long tunnel.

Hi Bunny,my post was from Jersey not Guernsey......they have handled the situation far better than our Clowns over here and as a result have only 4 cases at the moment,we have 331 a rise of 130 in a week ! !.

Im currently on the couch to 5k running plan, week 5. Went for a run in some local woods that Ive never been to before. Got absolutely plastered in mud but really enjoyed it. So happy I started it. I suspect I may have a new hobby starting.
-
Nice one Bunny, it is a good thing to take up, keep it up.
Cheers

Nice one, never thought about running as I know it's not for me , yeah stick with it, adrenalin and endorphins is a good kick. I struggle exercising outside when its wet n windy. My max cycle is about 15m / 25km, walk about 10m / 16km ?
Just focusing on ticking over till the spring tbh .
Ps watch those knees
-
Oh yes watch those knees.........................(says a man who knows the painful truth)..
-
Thanks all. Yeah. I'm wearing a support on one knee but so far no adverse effects and if anything its making my aches and pains, less achey and painy.
-
Hahaha just watched Czech Republic to beat Sweden in ice hockey, 4-1 !! :D
-
Just read on the BBC that a lady is leaving coats on a bridge in Leeds for homeless people.....ok. Im a very old cynic and know from experience, that some homeless people are there from really bad life choices/drug misuse/crime. But not all. And ultimately if that gesture helps someone, then lots of little gestures make a big change.
-
Lady leaving coats... Reminded me, being an old cynic... few years back, I gave a "lost&found" -coat to some guy who really sounded like coughing his lungs out, sleeping in the street in front of my work place... The coat was really expensive and luxurious type, you know, all fluffy &feathery... the more it made me happy to give him this fancy coat! Same time, I was with crutches because of knee problems, people giving me the weird eye like I'm faking it to have a seat in public transport or something... :(
-
Went to the supermarket today. Sixpack of beer was in discount for 75 CZK so I bought two. I like beer.
-
If my maths is correct......that works out at about £2.50 for six......bargain to say the least and in my experience you make bloody great beer....is it a Pilsner ?..and cheers,enjoy.. :)..
-
Yep, it's bloody cheap... Actually, the beer in glass bottles would be even cheaper but I'm too lazy to take the bottles back to the shop so I buy cans instead as the recycle bin is next to my flat :) And great beers they do make in this country... Funnily enough, Pilsner Urquell is not one of my favourites and tends to be more expensive also. I like the basic muck - this time the bargain was Staropramen (which is OK basic beer, although as I used to live close to the brewery and got all those yummy fumes from there, I rather drink something else...) but sometimes they sell Kozel (which definitely one of my favourites) with this price :D Cheers! :)
-
I like the dark lagers from the Czech Republic and in neighbouring Slovakia A fine drink!

A few double IPAs and I'm a happy digital man

About a week ago I did some shopping in NMA shop. Main reason was the Carnival redux as I finally had money to order it. But, somehow, magically, I happened to be very, very drunk when I opened the online shop... Afterward I found out that I had paid 95 pounds from my bank account and, trust me, I cannot remember half of the stuff I ordered! Instead of checking the e-mail for order details I decided to just wait for the package - I mean, how many times you have a chance to truly surprise yourself with an unexpected gift? ;D

Sounds great! I hope you don't find out that you bought Carnival redux 10 times..;-)

Rule number one............NEVER go shopping on line after Beer/Wine o'clock........it can be very expensive and not always as planned as i have found out myself....... ::)......

I do have some faith in my drunken-self though... And how you'd otherwise get some -totally necessary- stuff you never knew you needed? Like my friend who ordered stuff to her kitchen, including a platypus -shaped butter knife and a chopping board with a picture and text ''Chopin bored'' :(
-
The thing that made me happy today... You cannot fake this laugh! ;D

-
Platypus shaped butter knife..........surely every good home has one ? ?... ::).
Your last post made me think of one of my favourite cook books ''The Naked Barbecuer'' by Chris Peacock. ;D
-
Just noticed I might have been a tad over-represented in ''what pisses you off'' -topic so I'm back here :)
I've always been a devoted listener of original albums, but lately I've been listening to more live recordings than ever in my life...probably has something to do with the fact that it's not exactly possible to attend any live shows now... But anyway. I was happy to receive my parcel from NMA shop with ''**** Texas, Sing for Us'', ''Justin Sullivan & Friends Live'' and the ''Night of a Thousand Voices'' :) Especially Vagabonds in the Night of a Thousand Voices is priceless, everyone looks so happy! I shed a tear, in a good way, with a wide smile :)
-
Managed my 1st 30km cycle, who would have thought a fat fk like me ,who lived on takeaway n smoked for 30+ years could do that , ok I know its not far in the grand scheme but I used to be out of breath walking to the train station about 500 metres away. Anyway I'm proud of myself lol
-
So you should be...........good for you.
-
Pol well done mate. Bet you feel so much better in yourself. Bravo!!!
-
Pol, I'm out of breath just reading that! I managed to quit smoking for now but moving my arse... Next step... Keep posting these, to keep the rest of us motivated! :D
-
Well done, Pol! I take it the next time I see you at an NMA gig, you'll be skinnier than a scarecrow made out of spaghetti and you'll have to announce yourself in those fine Scottish tones? ;D
-
At this moment in time.......drinking strong dark coffee,eating freshly baked croissants from the French bakery with Miles Davis ''Kind Of Blue''playing in my kitchen.........a perfect Sunday morning..... 8)..
-
Ah, the smell of coffee... You know, it's impossible just to open a new package of coffee without stopping to sniff it for, like, five minutes, while making some pleasure-sounds out loud... ;D
-
Meshuggah's announcement: ''Things are happening. As some of you figured out we have entered #SweetspotStudios and have begun recording a new album. *Spoiler* There will be distortion and kicks.'' 8) Can't wait...
-
Today is a good day, mostly... I finally received the Carnival Redux that was missing from my last order. I received the ''Forest Galaxy'' A3 print from Joolz, with lovely small surprises included in the parcel... I picked up my order from the book store: two Murakami's books I still didn't have, three thrillers (by Jussi Adler-Olsen and Lars Kepler) and ''A Confederacy of Dunces'' that Ghosttrain recommended. And Ghosttrain received the wool socks I knit and was glad.
I think it's the first time after a long time I'm looking forward to going home... It'll be easy to self-isolate this weekend :)
I wish a great weekend to each and every one of you! :)
-
School holiday !
:)
-
Visiting my friends, have to stay over thanks to curfew... But the dog, a big Belgian shepherd, is sleeping curled up to my feet :)
-
I won £90 in a raffle...I cant remember ever winning anything before!
-
I can't remember seeing so many new posts in this forum after being away from the wicked world of the internet for a while... 8)
-
Not sure if i should have opened another topic or posted this in the "tell us a joke thread" but this made me laugh and kind of happy...
i'm totally not into "the oscars", i don't think that it has any value for " and the oscar goes.." whatever.. 8)
but i stumbled upon this clip from this years oscar show and i was really surprised:
Mudvayne (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLt6QyF2S68)
That was awesome!
I found the expression of most of the faces priceless and liked the raw energy they brought into there. Don't know, i think they haven't done any music since 11 years and i was suprised that they showed up again and that should mean that they will do some more music. love their stuff. here's a longer live video to that song, from their fantastic debut L.D. 50:
Mudvayne - Dig (LIVE Ozzfest 2001) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABN7NiWId8I)
Some more stuff:
Not Falling (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhqRMzoyV4g)
Death Blooms (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nVvojfQVBY)

The looks of bewilderment were quite amusing, thanks for sharing.

I've been working all week, after a long, loooong time! Just painting walls white, but I love it. So I came quickly to wish a happy labour day to everybody!
As it is labour day's eve, it is my duty as a Finnish person to go somewhere outside and get plastered. (Remembered one of Homer Simpson's lines... Homer, watching the clock and screams, says ''I should've been drunk an hour ago!'')
Instead of watching the paint dry, we were watching stuff from youtube with my boss. This one was funny, check it if you miss the early days of the internet... a clip from Kevin Bridges, called ''if facebook was a pub''

Well, well, well... Looks like it'll be possible to attend some events, earlier than I expected... If nothing changes, Agressive Music Fest will actually happen, on 28. and 29. of... THIS month! :D It's a tiny festival but anyway (& it's their 10th anniversary and they're still misspelling 'aggressive' ;D). A negative antigen test is needed, which makes perfect sense. Can't wait to dig out my tent, go camping, listen to terrible music LIVE and have beers 8) I bet it will rain or something... ;)

Ah, I almost forgot... I’ve been half a year without cigarettes :) I was somewhat skeptical that I could quit and get this far but hey, it’s a great feeling proving yourself wrong!
-
Yes, I was tired...

That's 49 for me! I did cheat a little though, don't really know if i would use my helicopter-technique on them..

49 for me too

Only 21, wth... ;D
Thanks jc, this was hilarious ;D

ICE HOCKEY WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP 2021 - games just started yesterday... Those magical couple of weeks of the year when I go nuts about sports are here :D GO FINLAND!!! GO CZECH REPUBLIC!!! :D
-
Running across a South Wales beach, some hours prior to possibly breaking my finger.
It was like Chariots of Fire. But slower....much much slower.
-
My friend from Finland visited me and brought my old bass to me!!! They wanted to charge her for oversized luggage at the airport but she decided to go to ''stupid but innocent'' -mode and kept calmly repeating to them that ''No, it is a perfectly normal-sized bass guitar'' until they gave up and she paid 30 EUR instead of 75 ;D
I haven't played bass for... ten years or something? So, day one: How on Earth I've been able to play this thing? ;D I felt all my shriveled muscles in my left hand and destroyed my now baby-soft fingertips, felt the clumsiness of an absolute beginner, and had to admit that the nerve problem in my pinkie hasn't healed properly. Day two: unable to play, fingers destroyed ;D
Yet again, mad respect to all musicians! ;)
-
Keep up the bass T
Cheers
jc
-
1) Seconded.......keep up the bass..i admire anyone who can play an instrument.When i was young i tried to learn guitar several of my friends were/are good guitarists in local bands/solo etc.No matter how hard i tried it just would not click..........decided my brain was'nt wired that way ::)
2) Also the bats are back......for the last few years we have had two bats living in the eaves of an old warehouse next to our flats,loved going out at dusk and watching their amazing aerial acrobatics...but last year they were gone and i thought that was it,but no i was on the roof the other night and there were two bats........watched them for ages and every night since.. 8)....
-
jc & Ghosttrain, thanks, I'll do my best - fingers already not-so-badly-destroyed :)
And bats are awesome, I'm glad you have your neighbouring bats back 8)
I've also been happy to witness the return of a bird - I have no idea which bird it is but I call it "The Pizza Bird". I hadn't heard it for ages but now it's back! Also no idea how it looks like, I just hear it. Seems to enjoy sitting somewhere on the tree branches in front of my neighbouring Chinese restaurant and sing - always sounding the same, the same amount of syllables, sounding like it keeps saying "pizza-pizza-pizza-pizza!!!". Thus, The Pizza Bird.
-
I think your elusive Pizza Bird may be one of these: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_tit

Hmm... I'm quite confident I'd recognize a great tit... Lol, I actually downloaded an app called BirdNet, which is like shazam but for birds ;D (yes, I do have a smartphone..finally ;D) waiting for an opportunity to record and identify my pizza bird!
-
Talking about smartphones... for people like me who rather avoid basic social media giants and who love (mostly heavier) music and would like to stay up to date what their favourite artists are up to, here's a brilliant app called Bandbond - you simply choose which bands to follow and ta-da; all of their social media posts from twatter, facebook and instagram come to your feed without you needing to bother go &check everything! How handy! It's not perfect yet, lots of bands are not on their menu yet, but every week they have a "Wishlist Wednesday" when they announce new added bands and you can wish your favourites... Why I started writing this is because, every Wednesday I've commented "*cough* New Model Army"....week ago I wrote longer comment why they should ad NMA...aaaand today they did!!! :D
-
I see that Steven Wilson is getting Porcupine Tree back together and have a new song out and are looking to tour in 2022. Having seen their last show in NYC in 2010 an 11 year hiatus and Steven saying that PT was in the past and he was liking the freedom of having different musicians play in his 6 solo albums it is great to see him get back together with the other band mates minus the Bass player .Next to NMA this was one of my favorite bands to see live. 8)

Double win at the weekend for the Worcester Warriors, the men beating Sale Sharks and then Warrior Women victory over Saracens.

Seeing somebody posting on Forum......... :).... :)....
-
Well...happy to be back. ;)
Not that I used to post a lot, I have to admit this, but I used to come here daily and check out the posts...and then...dunno...
I really hope everyone is doing as well as can be expected - everything's fine in my neck of the woods which I am very grateful for.
Hope to be back more often now.
Take care. :)
-
Welcome back Stephanie.... :)... :)...
-
Happy to be back in front of a computer at work with a little time to spare... I've missed the forum! How're you people doing? :) I'm enjoying a short period of time when things are pretty normal at work... let's hope it lasts :(
-
Good to hear from you again..... :)....
-
Good to hear from you again..... :)....
Glad to crawl back from the non-existence, I'll try keep my head above the surface :) It's been rather quiet here I see? Happy that you've been active here though! All good? :)
-
Hellooooo !
:)
-
:) Oooh...looks like more and more people are back! :)
That sure makes me happy - and then...the time of year. Generally speaking as I am more of a winter person - and then this has got to be my favourite time of year for the evening walks with the dogs...breathing in the cold air and looking at the ever increasing number of lights in the windows and front gardens.
If you can make yourself forget about the harsh statistics and reality - which is much easier in the dark - it's all so lovely and cozy and peaceful. ❤️ I think it is ok to simply forget about what may really lie behind those windows and just enjoy the dreaming, the peace and the lovely lights
With our dog Gracie as your companion ( we have five dogs and, if I am on my own, which I do enjoy, I go for more than one walk so it doesn't end up being too chaotic :P) you would be foolish to lose yourself in illuminated evening dreaming for too long - the awakening can be sudden and rude 😜 - but I still really love it.
-
Stephanie, that sounds lovely! :) Also happy to see more people here :)
Let's enjoy the colder weather, darkness and candle light! Bring me the winter!

This made me smile:-

Very happy that today is my last day at work for 2021...which, obviously, sounds much more impressive than it actually is. ;) No complaints, though, I am looking forward to a couple of hopefully peaceful days, lovely dogwalks and quality time spent with family and friends.
Hopefully, if nothing changes, we can continue our "tradition" where our friend from Belgium is coming over for a couple of days and to celebrate New Year. It didn't happen last year and with the situtation being what it is...let's say I'll believe it when she gets here. We have all been vaccinated 3 times, so all good in that respect.
The not so good thing will be helping a dear friend pack up her stuff in her old flat on Monday to be picked up by the movers on the 5th. She and her husband have split up after more than 30 years...and the situation is quite unpleasant so we don't quite know what to expect from him that day. ???
I shall be prepared and refuse to put up with any sort of crap - but I'd prefer for things to remain civilised.
All of you: take good care, happy holidays for you and yours, I hope you can all have a lovely time - and fingers crossed for a healthy 2022 - with some gigs thrown in. :-*
-
Seeing out 2021 with a decent whisky (Ardbeg An Oa) - here's hoping for 2022 to be better!
-
Popped in to wish everyone a happy and better New Year!!! :)
...and very late Merry Christmas!!
....pro tip: If your boss calls on the first of January, do not pick up.
-
A belated happy new year as well.
Forum has gotten really quiet as of late, or am I dreaming that?
Everyone ok?
-
It has been like that for a while..........all on Facebook now it would seem... :(....
-
Digital Man & Ghosttrain, yes, it's been dead quiet here... I'm also guilty, blaming my highly unorganized inner life lately... :(
New Year's resolution? Let's get back in here!! :)
-
Never was a fan of facebook.
New Year's Resolution: Listen to more New Model Army!!

I don`t use FB ...
Last night I watched WDR Rockpalast - From Here 40 years of NMA -and parts of the concerts following`til 06.00 tthis morning,
today I continue with Rockplast Philipshalle 1990 - hee, how much power they and the tribe had those days! Fine against this Corona-blues I feel every day ...

Good choices! ;) Ah, I was at that show in 1990...good times.
Happy New Year, everyone, hope yours was off to a good start - now let's hope 2022 will see concerts and other fun things back! :)
-
I have to say that the additional German dates are making me quite happy :D
Just bought 2 tickets for Düsseldorf - glad I won't have to wait until December after all. ;-)
-
Things that made me happy lately?
- Even though I got rather unfairly fired, that meant they had to pay me half a year of wages to get rid of me
- The b.. person who got me fired, got fired
- Because of the great severance pay, I was able to chill quite a few months
- I got the first job I applied to, thanks to my experience and knowledge the previous company was happy to pay to get rid of because of that back-stabbing.. person
- In my new job I have sooo many less responsibilities for the same money, I'm amazed, I feel like on a holiday at work
- I had money to buy the five-string bass guitar I've wanted for ages, she's beautiful!
- I was able to sort out my work days to go to a festival, and to my surprise having two days off after the festival, well needed!!!
Wishing happy Summer Solstice to everyone!!! :)
-
Hi Tarsier good to read things are on the up for you :)..
-
My Son got a first for his degree today, proud parent :)
Cheers
jc
-
Jc, congratulations to your son and to the proud parent!! :)
-
Waiting in line at the till of supermarket this morning when a voice from across another aisle said ''Nice T shirt '' (i was wearing classic NMA Logo shirt).I said thanks,when i got outside of the shop he was waiting and we had a good long chat about the band(i did'nt know the guy)...there are a few fans of the band here on ''The Rock'' that i know of.....he made me laugh when i said i had't seen them for about five years...........he has'nt seen them for thirty.. :o.... :)....
-
Things that made me happy lately?
Woohoo...Karma doing her best work - as it should be, that's awesome! :)
JC, congratulations to your son, very well done. :)
And how cool is it to unexpectedly meet someone who shares your taste in music...love it when that happens.
Me, I am only medium happy today - first day back at work after 2 weeks off. ;) It isn't too bad, though.
Also very happy that my dad made it through a very severy heart surgery...totally unexpected as well. At almost 78 he has always been fit as the proverbial fiddle and it was onyl by accident that it turned out he could literally have dropped dead any second! :o Needless to say I am super happy and grateful it was discovered in time and he has made it through the whole procedure without major setbacks. It was tough, he is not one to complain so when he does...it means something. Worst thing is that he has not been able to sleep much for almost 2 weeks now.
He's starting his rehab on Thursday, hopefully they will be able to help him with that!
-
@Ghosttrain, now THAT'S an awesome way to meet someone!! I love those moments when a band t-shirt unites people 8) Sounds like he was a nice dude, hope you'll bump into him again in the future :)
@Stephanie, so glad to hear your father's doing fine! Send the very best wishes to him :) And thanks, perhaps I've managed to collect some good karma -points :) I have an annoying tendency to get suspicious when things are rolling too smooth, like, where's the catch? Sure there must be something nasty waiting around the corner..? ;D Anyhow, trying to enjoy while it lasts. Hopefully you got a chance to recharge properly on your two weeks off... at least enough to keep you medium happy at work for a while :)
-
Finally seeing the back of Boris Johnson. Good riddance! Plenty more idiots where he came from, sadly.
-
Books, music, everything tastes so good of late... I've decided not to succumb into pessimism, just waiting when crap hits the fan, but to enjoy while it lasts ;D It's been incredible, and once more I want to thank you jc: was awesome meeting you in Prague, and thanks for introducing me to a bunch of new people, you made the weekend in my hometown memorable!! :)
The awesomeness continues... I'm about to head to Futurum club, going to see Decapitated first time in a club gig! I'm a huge fan, seen them quite a few times but always at festivals. What a killer live band... 8) Three times, I actually had a ticket to see them in a club, three times events took an unfortunate turn and those were cancelled. Today is the day!!! Lineup also includes Distant and Despised Icon, looking forward for those too, plus two bands I'm not familiar with but ready to be positively surprised 8)
On tuesday morning, train to Vienna, ready for some more NMA and hopefully meeting more amazing people 8)
Wednesday, back to Prague, heading directly to my colleague's farewell party.. Thursday, 12 hour nightshift... On Friday, grindcore madness in Rock Café in form of Gutalax, Benighted, Spasm and Guineapig... I told my colleague that if I'm alive & well when arriving to nighshift on Saturday, I'll be amazed. Sometimes, I start feeling old ;D
I hope all of you are doing well! Promising to return back here soon... :)
-
Thanks to T for showing me around Prague it was so nice meeting you and your friends, it was fun looking around the abandoned house.
Hope Decapitated were on form and wishing you a great time in Vienna. it makes me happy that we can meet new friends and have adventures.
Cheers

Last night I learned about Germany's issues with trains in a hard way... Cannot even start describing the mess! Also the flight from Prague was delayed. But during all those twists and turns I met many people who were equally lost so didn't need to endure it alone, it warms you from inside when you're freezing stiff in company ;D Made me very happy to finally arrive to Cologne after two at night and crawl to my warm hostel bed. Now well rested, ready for the gigs... Hoping to see some familiar faces and meet new people! :)
-
Oh yeah...public transport in Germany - they will have to improve that A LOT before I'll even begin to consider using it. :D
Glad you still made it, though - sadly, due to illness, me and my friend missed the 2 gigs after so many years of waiting. We did enjoy the live stream, though.
A thing that makes me happy...after our almost 17-year old dog passed away last year we had decided that the 4 dogs that remained were plenty (we do habe a few guinea pigs and rabbits as well 8) )
What can I say...working for a rescue organisation is great...and dangerous.
in March, another new dog is moving in, I know we are mad and all...but it does make us happy - just hope it'll go fairly smoothly. ;D
-
Thing that makes me happy right now and in future... I just learned about NMA's new album and the tour - the tour!! I will be able to join two gigs, in Vienna and Berlin. But those are not the only gigs in March for me! I don't know how many times in a lifetime it can happen, when you have two all-time-favourite bands ever, that you'll be able to see both of your favourite bands, both twice, within two weeks!!!! That's too much of the good thing!! :D
It'll be NMA in Vienna on 6th of March, returning to Prague the next day where Meshuggah will return after ~six years on 8th... And as I already had the ticket to Meshuggah in Berlin on 16th of March, guess how happy I was to learn that by adding two nights to my stay there, I'll be able to catch NMA on 13th!! There's no happy crying smiley on the menu here, so I just need to announce that that was what I did when I heard the news - I laughed and cried at the same time. I'm in love with the universe again. :)
