I'm leaving the M25 ! I'm going to see the sea ! REAL PROPER FISH'n'CHIPS ON THE PEAR ! AWESOME !
Does anyone know anything to do around Brighton next week, i'll be there mon-thurs. I've been looking at resturants and there are a few I want to try. Maybe catch a drag-act if any is going. I'm so looking forward to it now, I know I bitch'n'moaned before, as it wasn't what I was thinking off, but it'll still be good fun. Yay for chill-out-pills too ! Mememmeme, this thread is all about me. I'm so pleased that my job is cool with me being a broken person mostly. My next project at work is a fun one too, get to play around with all the social networks I want, just to go wild and let my creativeness see what I come up with (which is a total joy for me)
Tell me something nice, something good, and something naughty.

I was sitting at the back of the bus, the bus was largely empty.
Unwittingly, I managed to brush my foot against an empty seat that was facing me.
Some busy old bint barked at me 'Oi! You. Take your foot off that seat, people have to sit there!' (My foot couldn't have touched the seat for more than a few seconds). Anyway, I replied with, 'It looks like we're both taking up two seats'
She asked me if I was calling her fat. I said, 'Yes, I suppose I am'
She got off the bus.

Wasn't the last long-term gift the castle/dolls' house?
Sounds like she'll have a bumper fun time with Daddy. I do feel, though, that you'll probably have a bigger GLESS than her.

The castle was a 'for a few years, hopefully' gift.
I've got her de luxe editions of Beatrix Potter and AA Milne in the past which I'm hoping she'll keep all her life and maybe pass them on if she has children of her own.
I have some wonderful old books passed down from my parents that I treasure - hopefully everything won't be so space-age when she's older that she thinks they're shit and bins them.

When I was 12, I got into the Sweet Valley High books
Over the next however many years, I collected the whole series - close to 100 books. I still have them in a box, as I can't bear to give them away. However, I plan never to have children, and I don't think DJ and Roota are ever going to have them either.
Which makes the whole point of handing something down a little bit stupid, really.

I've got my father's Compleat Molesworth,
a load of beautiful 1930s folk tale anthologies, some stuff my grandfather edited like The Oxford Book of Ballads, and a few other lovely tomes. I'm most fortunate.
Sorely lacking in the Sweet Valley High department, though.

To my shame I purloined and sold a lot of my father's 45s in the 80s.
It backfired on me when he emigrated as he gave me his entire (rather depleted) collection. I still got some superb 50s and 60s 45s, including some valuable Elvis records. I'd love a rifle through your old boy's collection - I bet there's some gold in there.

Noel Redding's band. He played bass for Jimi Hendrix.
Hendrix hired him because he liked his hair - Redding thought he was auditioning for guitarist in The Animals and had never picked up a bass before in his life.

Lemmy's tale is a similar one.
He'd been a guitarist for some years (he's on the psych oddity 'Elevator' LP by Sam Gopal's Dream, who had no proper drummer) and asked if Hawkwind wanted a guitarist. No, but how about bass? I'll give it a go etc.

My best pal Mat plays bass for Death in Vegas,
he's not a bass player either, having fronted shoegazing indie bed-wetters Revolver at the turn of the 90s. He got the job because our mate was managing them or something. It must go on a lot.
Moral: bass is easy

Tell ya what you should do, is get a time machine - possibly made from a shitty Irish sports car, and go back in time. Then - and here is the twist - engineer a date for your parents, play a bit of guitar for the school and as you are about to leave to come back to today, tell them that if they have kids and one of them
accidentally sets fire to the living room rug graffities the fireplace, for your folks to 'go easy on 'em'.

Kensington cafe
In the North Lanes
Get a balcony seat and order the chicken fajita wrap, cheap and cheerful and watch the tourists in Kensington Lane below you.
And then after whatever night out you have, get yourself along to the Market Diner, ( if its still there) exchange pleasantries with the bouncers and eat a full english breakfast served with chips and burgers at 2-3am , while earwigging to the banter of Brightons cabbies.
Gawd I miss that
