Last call for today's jam - I'll be there, hopefully with a couple of Fender-wielding associates...

The gobby cow in my office who repeats things like "they've been told they can't put up Christmas decorations any more in case they offend non-Christians" and it's "CHRISTmas, the clue is in the name" and "its merry Christmas, not Happy Holidays" on a stupid loop for the past month. 

Went along to the Smiddy last week, brilliant jam. Dead friendly, really nice atmosphere and that drummer from out of the Malpasos. Can't ask for more.

Can't see anything good coming from this. Closed.

Also, you can't be detained from your home.

 

Yes he can.

Oh yeah..... this isn't a New Jam, any more.  It's a bi-monthly Participatory Event.  Or something......

Bi-monthly? Is that twice a month now? I need to get to this, haven't managed yet.

Crash Bandicoot N-Sane Trilogy is out. I want it. But this pay has to get my sister a birthday present. But I want Crash Bandicoot. 

Does your sister want Crash Bandicoot?

Dunno who's running the place, or at least who is responsible for their social media, but they fucked this right up. Not actually closing, but some sort of direction change apparently.

"After messing up yesterday's post here's what should have been posted

Cellar 35 will be closing on the 10th of August for a re brand and change of direction

Instead of only opening for gigs and events the bar will be operating 7 nights a week as an independent bar, as in own offers and own products not the same as The Noose

Is this a full band type thing i.e with drums or a more acousticy affair?

Looks like Gav has managed to figure out a deal for all existing gigs after July to be held at Underdog instead, This could be an ongoing thing, possibly including the weekly blues jam.

Good point. So the college and Uni turned him into a Lib Dem?

Tory to Lib Dem is quite a swing. Did he win? 

Nope. SNP Hold, Maureen Watt.

This is a bit odd and vague though - " Having struggled in his early years, John turned it around with the help of Aberdeen College and the University and has decided to stand for the Scottish Parliament to offer a voice in parliament for those who need the same help he had."

Since when did I physically assault anyone?

Your reply above reads like you 'hoofed a gaffer in the baws'. If not that, it would be easier to get a useful answer if you can give us an idea of why you got sacked?

But if it's quite clearly not gross misconduct. Is it at all possible for an employer, if they wanted to be dicks, to miss out verbal or written and go straight to dismissal.

Physical assault is always going to be gross misconduct. I'd say losing your job is getting off lightly compared to landing up in court. I'd leave it there, or you still could.

Someone selling a nice looking Denon turntable on Facebook, worth a look, might even get the price down a bit.

The Malpasos were ace. Great songs, but more importantly they certainly raised the sartorial stakes. Go see.

Noel Edmonds. QED.

Keith Chegwin is the world's biggest twat on twitter. Constantly makes these truly awful sub Christmas cracker jokes, and he's notorious for stealing other people's jokes too. Then he gets really butthurt when he rightly gets abuse for it.

Oh aye... If the mod's want to fix that, then so be it.

Boom.

Ready Player One. by Ernest Cline

Trashy YA sci-fi but i...can't....put...it...down.

Apparently it's getting the Spielberg treatment next year. I can see it being an absolutely huge movie or piece of utter gash. It definitely won't be just ok.

I'm burning through one of Stuart MacBride's. Such fun books. Really really dark but really funny as well. Not a challenging read, they're all story and the characters are all caricatures, but it's hard to put one down when you get going. 

I literally cannot read his books. Fucking dreadful writer.

In the Shire? You'd really be best stretching yourself a bit further than that tbh. Only one I can think of is the Dangerous club in Peterhead, which is great. Anywhere else is going to be a case of bring your own gear to be squashed into the corner of a bar where the locals will threaten you with violence if you don't play 'rockin in the free world'.
