MTFU the lot of you.

Now down to business. Who's missed me the most?

You know how when you stub your toe and it's fucking agony but then it becomes bearable then it goes away but you don't really notice it's not hurting any more then you go like 'Hey, my toe stopped hurting!'?
Kinda like that.

Good day, good day.
Not content with blatantly fitting him up to close the Dando case, then jailing him for six or seven years, they're now saying he cannot have the 1.4 million compensation he's due from their horrendous miscarriage of justice 'because he hasn't proved he isn't guilty'.

Apparently being acquitted and released from prison isn't proof that you are not guilty. The utter cunts.

I'm a huge fan of his, my brother and I have a thing about 'confused loners' like the Croydon samurai sword slayer etc. Barry gets on the list because of the time he was found directing the traffic in Fulham, dressed as a commando.

Strangely sleepy today, in spite of a very relaxing weekend. I've spent the last two days basking in the sun and hoping my occasional twanging wouldn't annoy the neighbours. Although conversely I am slightly concerned for the plight of (a) my sister, who's currently trying to find an alternative route home from the Czech republic and (b) my drummer, who I fear may be stuck in Holland. I wouldn't be too worried normally, save for the fact that we had a studio session booked this weekend...

In many ways, this is a bit of a shame as the idea of her coming home on HMS Ark Royal would have made a wonderfully dramatic end to this little escapade. But then I get the impression she's had quite enough excitement this week...
