Not bad
Stayed at the pub for a bit but decided to have an early night coz I've got to get up to receive a delivery. The delivery people are vague and only gave me a time between 8am and 6pm.

Fucking cunting National Express
I'm trying to book tickets for D-i-T's bash in June. Every outward train seems to be booked, even though the site says the fare's are available. I refuse to believe that the twatting trains are all booked up so far in ad-cunting-vance. So I've got in touch and am awaiting a reply.

Bad enough they've put their arsebadgering prices up anyway, without this.

*Fumes*

I don't have a telescreen so I'm missing out on my dose of pop-culture.

@VeeCee: Good luck with the interview. What sort of job is it?

Greetings Davvy Gee
Have you tried booking through another online ticket site such as thetrainline.com?

Booking train tickets is gradually becoming more and more like booking plane tickets.

In other news, I've booked a place to stay in Edinburgh for the Friday pre-bash bash. It's a different hostel than the one I'm staying in on the Saturday, but they're just up the road from eachother.

Am mightily pissed off.

I tried booking my tickets for the Edinbash as far back as January
And even back then, a return was £105. Had I booked it for a different date, I could have gotten it as cheap as £33. But on the plus side, if I'm stuck buying the expensive tickets, It means I can be ultra-flexible. I'm taking advantage of this by turning it into an ultra-trip.

Maybe we should organise bashes at non-popular travelling dates.

Monster Magnet is ftw ..... I found myself with White Zombie not long ago. Took me back to a simpler age: Beer, Music, Beer, Woman, Beer, Kebab, Casual sex.

Aaaaah, Halcyon days.

Edit. And also a wee bit of Coal Chamber.

Meh
I hate driving, and I certainly wouldn't want to drive in London.

And I've looked into flying, but the trouble is the time either side of getting there negates the overall quickness of it. Done it before, and it generally ends up no faster or cheaper in my experience.

I don't blame you; all trains to London booked up? Ridiculous!

Agreed! Embarassingly, I had a poster of her on my ceiling as a teen. Never quite hit it though. Never figured if my ceiling was high or my wee fellas lack velocity:S

Nadia was even hotter though.

Last week I departed from the norm thanks to Watchmen
and slapped on my missus' CD of Bob Dylan ..... I quite liked most of it.

Up until then I had avoided him for some reason - No real relevance but just thought I'd share.

Edit: Night DG

I'm quite partial to a bit of Dylan. Prefer Tom Waits though.

Best lyrics evar
My love gun's loaded and she's in my sights
Big game is waiting there inside her tights, yeah

Big bottom, big bottom

Big bottom drive me out of my mind
How could I leave this behind?
