Like he wishes he was cool enough to be a geek. He is a very personal person though. Why does it go on for so long?? Augh.

AB39 cashes/goods in hands?

I'll have Juicy Lucy, School for Scoundrels and Jay and Silent Bob please

Do you speak like that in front of your kids?

Umm... I just got back from a few weeks in Eastern/Central Europe and Warsaw is really nice! It wasn't one of my favourites because it's one of the bigger and more skyscrapery (_) places but the old town is definitely worth a look and I think calling it a dump is somewhat over the top. Just be careful if you go to a museum called... I think... the History of Warsaw Museum on the main square, it's full of stuff they rescued from the war bombing and is pretty interesting for a bit but after the fifth floor and no place to escape from the guides who see you've finished a room and appear immediately pointing to the next one and saying, "PLEASE! " in a way you can't refuse, I kind of wanted to smash up their history. Riga and Vilnius are really nice places like Cloud said, I preferred the latter because it seemed to have a bit more to do in the centre without losing too much quaintness to tourism, and there's a bit just off the main centre called Uzupis which was made by artists and musicians of the city: "In 1997, the residents of the area declared a Republic of Uupis, with its own flag, currency, president, constitution, and an army (numbering approximately 12 men)." The constitution's up on the wall there, I thought it was all pretty charming and not (yet) filled with wannabe bohemians (except myself). Budapest is a really beautiful city if you're going that far, but unfortunately I coincided with 43 degree heat/no air conditioning ANYWHERE and release of Harry Potter 7 there so I can't recommend much apart from the baths (really good ones at Szchenyi near Heroes Square) and the castle bit over the river in Buda. The public transport system was a bit confusing and ended up being much more expensive than other places although I may just have been being stupid and not realising how to use it propaly. Prague is my third or fourth home and I lav eet, probs would recommend everything the guidebooks say: the Old and New Town Squares, the castle (and the other castle Vysehrad), Letna park (Letenske sady) is nice for a walk and beer garden and then there's a nice view from the top looking down over Cechuv most and the city, and Cross club near Holesovice is my favourite bar, with lots of contraptions for decoration (like that woman's garden in Harriet the Spy) and usually some interesting music. There's a website called Expats.cz - Prague Jobs, Prague Community, Prague Real Estate in Czech Republic with job listings and loads of other useful stuff, I worked in Prague and it's quite hard to find an enjoyable job with no Czech at all but most of the hostel/hotel ones require excellent English and only conversational Czech. I'm not sure about anywhere else though. Oh and Cesky Krumlov is approx. half populated by tourists and very small but it's still worth going for a couple of days, to see the castle, go along the river in inner tubes and just wander about a bit. Naturally, all of these places are also inundated with groups of men wearing "LEE'S STAG DO 2007" t-shirts and causing an unpleasant ruckus.

"finnally someones putting that lesbian in her fucking place" Haha... I like both songs... they should release them together in a question and answer style like that "Don't Want You Back"/"Fuck You Right Back" deal (although as I type I am reading on wikipedia that they weren't actually in in together). Anyway the Rubinoos are winning already with loads of new myspace friends and Avril is part of the super-cutest pop punk couple of the modern age and has three incredible albums out so everything's fine!

Ohooo, I need to get it. Classic Rock said it was good. They said Ash had suffered the humiliation of growing up in public so we shouldn't begrudge them now they're grown up (or something) which I was a bit misfooted by - did people think they were bad and juvenilia before?? =S I like 1977 best (alongside Free All Angels).

Omg - I only realised a couple of weeks ago that Waugh was a man and not a mid-19th century feminist. Groo.

soun' supa!

Eddison were ace! Especially good because I thought they were going to be rubiss. All in all a very nice night. Well done.

The basement was well scary! I loved all the music at the beginning, Hurdy Gurdy Man creeps me out a bit now though. The actor they had for Allen was really much scarier looking than the real one. And it was too long but I didn't really mind because it just made it all the more realistic and obsessive. I can imagine getting bored watching a second time though.

Go! 7.50

Escape from Alcatraz by J. Campbell Bruce. I'm reading it for facts, which it has, but I dislike the way it's written, which is something like a crappy novel crossed with amateur journalism. "Their tommyguns beat a rat-tat-tat of slaughter that echoed in big black type, and their outsized egos gorged on the scare of banner lines." Huh??

I would if I could play my bass, you sound pretty cool. Gimme three years or so.

It is nationwide. It's really great.

Oh also, I think that if someone knows a word well enough to use it in an essay, then they should know how to spell it.

I think that makes exams better. I mean, who really cares if you can list the themes of uh... Ulysses or whatever, it's more important to be able to respond to a question with a well structured argument in one hour. Same with translations (maybe irrelevant to a lot of people but I do a lot of them) - it's not that important to be able to do a perfect translation using your dictionary and grammar in three days. When you're working (and I know it's important to love your subject but it's kind of a priority to keep a career in mind) you are probs going to have time limits and be working in a way more similar to in exam conditions.

That's pretty rough! 18-20 for a first? I'm sure for me it's only 70%! I finish my exams on Thursday, hopefully I've passed them all so far... but I'm only a fresher I know I accidentally translated 'fornicate' as 'become a clone of'.

uh oh! What could I get my dad? Needs to be something I can send in the post, it'll just have to be late. Maybe some WD40, he's into stuff like that.

That's the way men wear them.

Omg - a recurrent topic in the conversation of Genesis fans. That song has, on different releases, been called "The Carpet Crawl," "Carpet Crawl," "The Carpet Crawlers" and "Carpet Crawlers." The original was "The Carpet Crawlers" (on the UK release anyway) but the next best known version is the Seconds Out version - "The Carpet Crawl" - with Phil singing. Interesting! Or just... not interesting.

Who's the cutest driver? Kimi! Gilles Villeneuve was okay in his time, and Frentzen had the charm of a woodland creature. But they both lacked a certain finnesse.
