# It was pure fucking unadulterated fuckery... O_o
Waited 90 minutes for transport to get the gear into the marquee, gave up and wandered over without the gear to find the band who were on after us waiting around, and no-one else, at 11:35 we abandoned it and didn't play.

And then I binned my car on the way home, fucksticks =/

# ^ this
I think it went more along the lines of "Shit! No! Bollocks! AAARGH!" though =)

EDIT: That was an AARGH of annoyance, not pain, in case anyone was worried...

# Out of interest was it going through Derby?
Cos I nearly totalled it at least five times before I got back to the M1

# 'twas indeed, it was coming off a roundabout at the bottom of Raynesway...
...which is quite often very slippery with oil n diesel n stuff.

Ironically, the way to the gig was a nightmare, pissing rain, spray and aquaplaning a go-go, then on the way back it was nice and bright, and drying out...

# The latter, I hope.
I did both corners on the passenger side. I'll phone my insurance company tomorrow and begin the whole tedious process.

It's just a car* though - main thing is no-one was hurt, and I didn't collect any other cars on my way round. I'm fucking glad Jess wasn't in the car... although I think she's secretly disappointed that she wasn't =)

* It's just a car, but I love it to bits and I'm gutted, but the above is still all true

# Poor Prof :( *hugs*
Derby in the dark and the rain was damned scary to get out of though.

I trust you survived unscathed though?

*return hugs*
