  1. It was fucking ace...all the bands were really good. I got filmed - like 5 times, it was really embarrassing and off putting-right in your face haha.(cause i'm sooo shy)

    I can't really think of anything constructive to say about Quik last night because i fucking loved it and i missed you guys and yeah.*fan girl*

  2. It's probably not the best place to stay on your own but if you're going with someone else then it's fine. I went with 3 other people and we were in a 6 dorm room with 1 other guy who was from glasgow and we didn't have any bother.

    We stayed at the Palace hostel and the bar downstairs was really nice and friendly.

    Well i'm going with 2 other people so it's not that bad. Although, i've got a funny feeling one of them will not be up for staying in a hostel hehe. Because her daddy will probably pay for it. Thing is only gonna really be there for sleeping and showering.

    I wouldn't mind staying out of Amsterdam because Amsterdam is pretty much rubbish compared to other parts of Holland!

  3. Yup i'm going there in summer, for a reunion...I lived in Holland for a couple of years when i was like 10 and cause everyone's finishing school and because so many people come and go, they're having a reunion for their baccaulaureat(sp?) ceremony.

    I had a look at the Flying Pig Holly, I thought it looked alright, I think I'd be scared to stay in a hostel...hehe. Cool though, I'll definately keep that in mind. Thanks.

  4. It was a brilliant night, although i was dissappointed at the lack of 'scensters/usualy gig-goers' there, however there were alot of people there i'd never seen before which was good.

    Baby Karma - I found them abit boring actually, no doubt they are good musicians but I found Emma's voice abit weak for the song, which is fair enough since they were probably learned in like 2 practices.

    Mind Gone Blank - I really thought their set dragged.

    X-certs - Fuck me. They were awesome, even with a lack of 80s covers. They just get better and better every time i see them. I think it's safe to say that NO OTHER BAND in Aberdeen could get pretty much the whole crowd singing along and clapping straight away like they did.

    Stayover - Very entertaining, and I think they were about the only band that mentioned what the gig was really all about, and they were really in the spirit of things which was awesome. Bring on the Sluts..hahah i loved it.

    Onion Terror - Good set, I liked the 'medley' idea, ok they were very tight and stuff but they still entertained very well and i think they were awesome for the nature of the gig.

    Black Atom - Only saw the first two songs, and i have to say - loved the outfits. They soundedgood but i had to get my bus :( was abit dissappointed to not see their set, but i'm sure they were ace too.

    A fucking awesome night, cheers to Ross and Stuart for putting it on.

  5. Well apparantly unless something is advertised as a gig it's over 18s. But i'm not sure what advertised as a gig means because I got chucked out for not having ID, and the reason was it wasn't advertised as a gig - but outside on a big poster was the date and a bunch of bands listed, so if that's not gig advertising, I don't know what is.

  6. The NHS is crying out for staff and CAN'T AFFORD THEM. All I'm saying is the only positive from smoking is it massively subsidises public services' date=' such as the NHS. Thus, by not paying tax on cigarettes, you are in fact depriving the public services of money, funding, and thus staff/equipment.

    Yes, obesity is a HUGE problem (personally and professionally), and looks liklely to overtake smoking in America as the number one cause of preventable death (but not for a while yet). However, cake tastes nicer than cigarettes.

    In terms of social conscience - sorry, thought it went hand in hand with the grind/core/trading/DIY stuff. Resume selfish bastard mode by all means. :D[/quote']

    Yeah but surely there would be alot less patients in hospital if people didnt smoke?!
