Fiver shortage!

Heard a sort of interesting thing today, well overheard it, on the 106 actually. This guy sat in front of me was telling his mate he'd met someone in from the royal mint who is personally responsible for five pound notes. 80% of five pounds are distr...

Suede onstage at 7.30pm

Suede are onstage very early indeed, as suspected, so as to clear everyone out in time for the club... Word according to popbitch is that Neil Codling will be in the building, but undecided as to whether he's performing or not... WHO CARES, what abou...

Ah stage one...

We did that, down the steps of Portsmouth Guildhall... stage two is being towed behind a car in one. Got to hang onto the tow rope instead of tying it on, so you can let go when you like.

No not a good dream at all, I dreamt that I sold Clare's engagement ring, not just for less than it's worth, but the money I got for it all turned out to be fake. When I was half awake this morning I thought it was true and was so upset and confused....

RE: Tag Everything!

RE: Tag Everything!

I hate all that Web 1.0 and Web 2.0 branding - I've even recently seen a reference to Web 2.0.1. An annoying O'Reilly-ism being propagated round the web.

Grant from Feeder

I could see him through the barrier he was having a heated chat with one of the roadies then stormed off. An hour later they were on stage. He seemed fucked off. they finished their set 10 minutes early and didn't come back on. I guess the chat got t...
