  • Friday Five!

    1. What was the first concert you ever went to?
    My Own.

    2. If you were to be in charge of a music award who would win the 'Worst Band/Artist of All Time' Award?
    The one who squandered their talents the most, never believing in themselves to try.

    3. A lot of people think the sound quality on a well looked after vinyl record is far superior to that of a CD or MP3. What are your thoughts?
    Vinyl is a classic medium from the perspective of allowing a fuller experience. CD's have quality and definition on their side, MP3 is the shittest of the shit. Highly compressed, tone reduced and harmonically dead. (He says wondering where his iPod is)

    4. What song/track/piece of music can you never hear enough of?
    Hammer to Fall by Queen. I will sing that till I die.

    5. Complete this sentence: "If I was to put a band together using famous musicians of any era the line up would be..."
    Freddie Mercury - Lead Vocals/Piano
    Brian May - Guitar/Backing Vocals
    David Gilmour - Guitar/Backing Vocals
    Spike Edney - Keyboards
    Cozy Powell - Drummer
    John Deacon - Bass
    Axl Rose - Backing Vocals
    Paul Rogers - Backing Vocals

    That would just be awesome...

  • How Long? Music Video

    Well, I thought it only fair that I inflict my playing and singing on everyone at long last.

    I wrote this in 2005, recorded 2006, after hearing of terrorist attacks happening around the world. This featured on my "What we leave behind" album. I made the video from still images as an additional extra!

    This was recorded on my old recording equipment, I've spent about £2500 on new gear since then!

    Hope you enjoy!

  • Yay! I can play again!

    My shoulder finally unfroze last night! I managed to hold the weight of my red special (Guitar) for over half an hour... and didn't suffer too much as a result!! And it sounded in bloody fine voice last night, all crunchy and warm...!

    Job's a good un!!!!

  • Why? Why? Why?

    Do they make toasters with a setting that can effectively cremate toast so well it only needs to pressure to make diamonds out of the remains? What's the f**king point?! I mean, who among us eats toast that bloody burned that you can't handle it without it shattering?!

    In case you're wondering I'm having toast for tea and my stoopid fooking toaster just cremated some.

  • No Puzzle Post this week...

    Sorry folks but I'm just not feeling up to it. Normal service should resume next week - I hope! :'(

  • Damn needles...

    I had some vaccinations this week. Apparently, I'm not immune to most things. My physician decided it would be best to vaccinate me against everything possible (I was a sickly child, and my immune system never really got as strong as it should have). It was only three this time, but I'm having to go back for boosters next month.

    However, one vaccination really hurt at the time, and since then I've had immense problems moving my left shoulder. I know that its only temporary, but I can only get my arm level with my shoulder, I can't lift anything heavy and I certainly can't put a guitar on it... which is really annoying as I have just changed my strings and I love playing them when they're really new. Bummer. In addition to that, I slept on the wrong side last night to protect the arm, and now have a trapped nerve in my neck to boot. So that's me off the guitar for at least a week.

    Bastard. Shit, damn and blast. I'm going to stop now, honest!

  • Borrowed from Deadgirldiaries

    1. Have you ever kissed someone of the same sex?
    Well, just once or twice... a day...

    No.

    5. Do you have any guilt inside of you?

    6. Have you ever wished anyone dead, however brief?
    Never seriously, I generally wish for karma to strike back with equal measure.

    7. Assuming you HAD to be, would you rather be a colour, smell or sound?
    Sound, the sounds of a guitar feeding back at the pitch of A.

    8. How and when do you imagine you are going to die?
    Don't know when, but I know I'm going to be stabbed in the back, walking down a road I used to live on.

    9. Do you think love is forever?
    No, only taxation.

    10. What is your worst fear for your future?
    Well I'd guess being stabbed in the back really...

    11. Do you LOVE anything about yourself? If so, what is it?
    My arse, It looks great in levi 501's.

    12. Would you lie if you KNEW you could never get caught?

    Done it.

    14. What, if anything, do you do to make people do what you want?

    None.

  • Trying to get there...

    I sent off an e-mail tonight for an advert on the net for a band near us, that is looking for a lead guitarist... I just hope I get some kind of response, I'm itching to get back in to a band. I do have plans to form a new band in a month or so, I've organised a prospective drummer, but I'll still need a Bass Player, and a keyboard player.

    Any volunteers?

  • Fer Feck's Sake, Not Again!

    Think I got caught speeding today... again. Bastard camera van parked on the pavement as I went by. I slowed down as safely as I could, but I'm really not sure... I carried on driving for a bit and then the penny dropped.

    THE VAN WAS PARKED ON THE PAVEMENT - LESS THAN 10 METRES FROM A JUNCTION!!! It was parked illegally.

    I did no more than turn around went back - photographing the van showing it's position.

    So I went to my local solicitors, who advised that we could argue the case and have a 50/50 chance of winning, depending on what the photographs showed...

    I hope it doesn't happen, obviously, but at least this time, I've got a fighting chance if it does...

    Keep your fingers crossed either way (but not your legs folks)

  • Friday Five...

    1. What was your favourite childhood TV or radio programme?
    The original Transformers cartoon, I was a true child of the '80s

    Billy Goats Gruff.... "who's that trip trip trapping on my bridge" said the troll.

    3. When playing which superhero were you?
    Normally Spiderman or Actionman, I had a thing for the costumes even then!

    4. Who was your best friend as a child?
    Michael Barton. Not seem him since I was 15...

  • I admit...

    ...I secretly love watching all the old sci fi shows from the 70's - Space 1999, UFO, The Invaders, anything naff like that.

    *hangs head in shame*

    Taken from Scoobydufus, who in turn got it from Grit... apparently!

  • What would you do to fix the country?

    We're living in a serious recession. Businesses are closing faster than I can type, the banks have stopped lending, and the house market has crashed like a car in to a lamppost.

    Gordon Brown has tried a few things to solve the problem. Firstly, he bailed out a few banks and building societies with public money. It was like plastering over a crack caused by subsidence - bound to happen again.

    Then he cut VAT to 15%. This didn't seem to work either. All he did was piss off businesses, who knew nothing about this cut until the day before it happened - and caused computer headaches for all concerned (Don't I know that!)

    Now he's talking about lending billions to the banks again, in order to get them lending. Okay, so you have a public who can't afford to repay loans to begin with, and now he wants banks, who're in the hock already, to risk more money to people who can't afford the debt they have.

    So... the upshot is he doesn't have a clue.

    Now, if you were Prime Minister now, knowing what you do about the economy, what would you do to solve the problems?

  • Puzzle Post For This Week.

    You might find me at your garden path,
    Or at your local airport.
    I might be made of wood, metal or glass.
    Or even simply made of thought.
    With a way at the end of me,
    You might find a route you didn't know.
    And hopefully you'll see me,
    When it's your time to go.

    Winners get a bearhug!

  • Van Driver's Code... a guide to the White Van Man

    I'm actually a Silver Van Man, only because it's more stylish! I'm now going to reveal just why the modern myth of the White Van Man is true.

    At a motorway services, you have car parking, bus parking, caravan parking, truck parking and cat and dog parking. Who's missing? Us humble van drivers. Our vans don't fit properly in a car space, but we get groused at if we use a caravan park, and laughed at if we use a truck park. And pee'd on if we park with the dogs. So you see, we instantly feel left out. And it's bloody hard to open the van door when you get out.

    We bring goods at higher speeds, we're not speed limited. We're there for the rush jobs that trucks just can't do. Do we get thanks? Does anyone let us out at junctions? Not on your bloody life!

    As a result, something I call the Van Driver's Code has materialised. Us Van Driver's stick together. We let each other out at junctions, even if it makes us seconds late. We help each other with parking, after all, we've got no rear view mirror, and we can't see our own back ends.

    The downside to this is that we also won't let anyone else have any right of way at all... after all, we're always running late, because we're expected to deliver at high speeds. We'll do anything to get our goods out on time. It's what we live for.

    So apologies to everyone I've cut up, blocked in and generally been mean to over the years. But bollocks to it, I've nowhere to park and I need to pee now!

  • Puzzle... Answers on a blogcard please!

    I can see, but not be seen.
    At least not by me.
    I am the ball, and also the hole.
    I have been known to roll.
    I am the surface that surrounds.
    And I've connections to the sounds.
    What am I?

  • Coff-iesel?

    It sounds like the cross between a cough and a sneeze... but I think it would be a good name for coffee based diesel. I kid you not... see below.

    Clicky Linky Thingy

    Sounds like a dream, with only one minor problem... I don't like coffee.

  • The Friday Five Answers on a blogcard!

    1. Is it time to change the name of the "mobile phone" as they are now more than just a phone?
    I think these days PDA is perhaps more suitable, but it will never stop being a phone to anyone!

    2. Do you take your mobile phone on holiday with you?
    Sadly, yes. And actually use it quite a lot... (I know, I'm the person on the beach that you laugh at!)

    3. If you phone runs out of battery life is it a mishap or the most worst thing that can happen... ever?!
    To be honest, it's a blessing - peace at last! Sometimes it even runs out on purpose!

    4. If they're not playing the latest chart topper then it's some other electronic rubbish so is it wrong to say "I'll give you a ring!" when phones don't actually ring these days?
    No, because some things remain way beyond there usefulness. You still refer to making an album as cutting a record... and that rarely happens at all anymore due to digital recording methods! Some things are nice to hold on to!

    5. Complete this sentence "My mobile phone is..."
    A pretty cool, nice looking complete and utter bane in my life.

  • Sickening... the act and the current decision

    Just read the article shown below about a pensioner dying of hypothermia having been bound during a robbery.

    Link

    It's bad enough that this poor pensioner has had to suffer in this way. I think it's just as bad that the bastards that did this have been released on bail. Surely, they should have been charged with Manslaughter, which is causing unintentional death, as whilst robbing her, they did not intend to kill her, but, through their actions caused her death. Surely she would not have froze to death had she been able to move. Why release the suspects on bail? At least hold them until the results of the post mortem are released.

    I would like to see if the Judge who granted bail to these two bastards would feel the same way if it were his mother who was killed.

  • Board Photographs

    Okay, here's the moment you've all been waiting for... Well, actually, just Kibitz, but this is a good excuse for a post!

    This is me on my skateboard, taken during a very cold evening on Blackpool Seafront. The pics are poor quality as they were taken on my phone camera, and it was dark and doesn't handle movement so well!!!

    And just because he's cute, here's our (not so) little cat Tyler, Commonly known as Boo Boo, fast asleep on a duvet.

    Manage an Ollie on my skateboard (A basic jump)

  • Happy New Year to All!

    Hope you're all having a good start to the year. So far I've had frozen waste pipes for my shower and bath - so it's pretty much a continuation of last year!
