Paid would suggest us actually getting paid as a headline band - not just a 3 way split of the door money - all of which will be provided by punters which we have pulled in by acting as Promoters too. I really think it is time to change the music scene in Aberdeen back to what it was - with bands getting paid decent fees by venues and actually being allowed a guest list , NOT getting brow beaten into paying to get their partners and friends in by greedy fuckers like Paul Kef - the tramp lookalike -who , and I use the term loosely " promotes" Kef.He wouldn't allow us ONE person each - what a dick.
I want to see decent bands in clean establishments for a decent fee, I don't want to spend over £15 watching some pissed up has been reliving past glories as they drunkenly stagger around the stage in The Lemon Tree or Tunnels .
I attend a hell of a lot of gigs, and it's interesting that down south punters do not have to put up with the shit they get in Aberdeen - Moshulu is a stinky sticky mess, I got so fed up of being stuck to the floor I stopped going. It's not hard to see why people never go to gigs - attitudes towards bands and punters are shocking.
PAID now there's a thought, but it must be said that Flash always gives us cut price beer- mind you The Lemon Tree give you it free - as does The Viewfield in Arbroath - and a decent couple of rooms and a cooked breakfast, aye FUCK IT, Aberdeen sucks, I'll get me coat.

Jamesy here.. (please note I'm fully expecting an immature response talking about coapy baps, my poofy hair or my fat arse - i expect no more from a washed up attention seeker like yourself...)

First things first Bizmark - Aren't 16 Again a overs band that base themsleves on pulling in punters on OTHER peoples past glories anyways? And how many times has a gig at The Tunnels actually been £15, I can't remember one...

Moshulu, The Tunnels and The Lemon Tree as always venues touring bands love coming back to - because they're great venues that provide an astonishingly high level of hospitality for acts and also bring in good crowds that are well up for it. You've experienced English crowds and hospitality and they don't compare to up here, not in the slightest.

Secondly, you need to get over this carpet thing. For the record, Moshulu, as of 3 months back, gets the carpet industrially cleaned once a month by a specialist with a special van mounted machine thing.

Thirdly, you stopped going to gigs that you never paid for (that's right ladies and gents - our favourite bizmark here is rfr's number one freeloading bastard that I personally guestlist with however many folks he wants, simply because it's easier to do that than take all the hassle i get otherwise from him, as if i don't have anything better to do than listen to his repetitive whining) because of a carpet? Some music lover you are - if a band i liked were playing in Aberdeen anywhere - even in peep peeps fucking toilets - i'd be there to see them.

And attitudes to bands and punters - coming from the naive sexist that openly badgered The Hot Puppies keyboardist and kept telling her how he (The forty odd year old stoner...) would love to shag her - let's not even mention the Amy Sawyers post and all else...

C'mon, you're a fucking joke. Aberdeen is fucking ace, and bands love coming here. Maybe if local bands showed a little more ambition and willingness to graft, then promoters would open their arms a little more. If I had a quid for every time an Aberdeen band had convinced me how much they wanted on a certain bill with a certain band and how hard they'd work if I helped them out, then pulled about 5 people, I wouldn't be here reading your arrogant self-righteous horseshit.

Love and Kittens,

Young James.

They cleaned the floors

I was surprised when all the girls were able to run away from me for once

We'll overlook it on this occasion, seeing as they both use the same computer. Just remember to log out next time, Rob!

Blimey Jamesy, why not let us all know what you really think...

For the record I think the Moorings bogs are possibly as perfect as it gets.

And yeah Dave, lets hope he didn't read my PM's where I am talking to his replacement ...

Getting back to the subject of big turds, I find that the major problem in producing a big dump is gravity. Unfortunately the sheer weight of the dump will break it in half before it hits the water.

I've conducted some in-depth research on the matter, and I find that toilets in the US are best for producing big jobbies - the water in the bowl is typically higher up and offers a soft landing, thus preventing mid-shit breakage.

I took some photos of my work the last time I was in New York which I can post in the gallery if anyone is interested.

Ooo, burn!

The mirror is ace, and as full length as you could get it which is even better. And you had toasted sandwiches in the other day for the first time in ages! Or maybe you always have them and I just forget to ask/don't get there fast enough. Only thing I have to say about the toilets is that they can get fucking freezing but it's helpful to cool down in the middle of a sweaty gig.

I figured out how to work the heaters last night without melting the oil out of the door closer, and this solved the condensation problem in the ladies. It only took me 3 years.
