Fact! Actually put the CD on since I posted that, She Said is a fucking tune!

I listened to The Sun Is Often Out by the Longpigs and Ok Computer by Radiohead rather too much around that time.

They have maybe sold their allocation. You'll be able to pay at the entrance, I'm pretty sure that is what we have done the last few years.

I think you can get them on ticketmaster.

My folks are both vegetarian and they like Christos just off of George Street. Obviously would depend on whether you liked Greek food but I think you can get something different and it seems good for veggies. Plus if it is for an occasion they are quite welcoming for parties and can get quite lively the later the night goes on.

The gig they played at the Lemon Tree a few years back was well good. Hopefully they'll play again up here.

It was Telegraphs who played last.

I was out and about in the car yesterday and had on Beautiful Freak and was wondering why I didn't listen to Eels more often. Great band.

This is Saturday. As mentioned, Lights Action sound pretty class. Telegraphs sound a bit like an early Idlewild or Biffy if that floats your boat.

This and the Bosman ruling. That gave a serious amount of power to players when negotiating contracts. Must be a nice position to be in to tell your current club to pay you a shitload of money or your leaving for nowt or tell your future club to pay you a shitload of money as they are not paying a transfer fee.

Telegraphs and Lights Action play at Moshulu on a joint headline tour on Saturday 13th June. Local support coming from Static in the City. Tickets are 6 and available from One Up.

I think he went AWOL from his club in Belgium.

Having some dogs help as well...fucking pikeys. Some good spots passed Braemar. Taking the road through the village and passed golf course leads to lots of remote spots.

As mentioned the Sagrada Familia is well worth it, especially getting the lift up into the towers and getting the views across Barcelona. There are lots of really cool lanes off of Las Ramblas as well that you can just go and explore. Port Olympic is good for a night out (although bloody expensive) and if when I was there we were rather sad and started most evenings out at a Scottish themed bar called The Clansman - managed by a Glaswegian who looks like Buster Bloodvessel. And the pickpockets are twats! We were targeted but saw it coming. Generally what they'll do is one bloke will act really friendly but will be distracting you while his mate will look to see if he can swipe something out your back pocket.

Could be the Napper books.

Rumoured to have been on a stagger...the week of one of the biggest games of the season! Maybe Kerr got into a scrap with Charlie Mulgrew, he floored Kyle Lafferty at the weekend just by looking at him.

Bon Accord Baths could be turned into a music venue. Very speculative it would seem from the story mind you. Article.

Unfortunately due to some broken digits, Static in the City have had to pull out this morning. The Scandal Extracts (which consist of various members of SitC) will take their place so will be on at 9pm.

A woman getting out of the shower slips on the wet tiles with her legs going in opposite directions. She hits the ground chuff first and the water causes a vacuum and sticks her to the floor. Upon finding her, her husband asks what's wrong. "I'm sucked to the floor by my vagina" she says. Her husband replies "Right, I'll go to the shed and get a hammer, if I can smash the tiles underneath you it will break the vacuum and you'll be able to just stand up." After deciding this is the best idea, her husband starts rubbing her boobs. "What the fuck are you doing, you said you were going for a hammer!" "I am" he says "but I reckon if I can turn you on I'll be able to slide you into the hall, the tiles are cheaper out there".

Jersey Budd playing the Tunnels on Tuesday 12th of May with support from Marionettes and Static in the City. Tickets available from One Up and Seetickets website. www.myspace.com/jerseybuddmusic www.myspace.com/themarionettes www.myspace.com/staticinthecity

Joey Barton suspended by Newcastle, bust up with Shearer apparently. Serves him right for being a cunt.

The List magazine is good for what you are looking for. There's an online version as well.

There is a story in the EE today about cracking down on illegal immigrants at takeaways and restaurants. Looks like you saw something to do with that. Article.
