Have to disagree with you min. Sure, there are a lot of gigs going on in Aberdeen but the number of punk/HXC gigs (i.e. the kind that you would go to!) seems to be on a constant decrease. Hence why I was looking forward to Wormrot so much when they were here a couple of weeks ago; there hadn't been a line-up that good in Aberdeen for that kind of music for quite some time!

Yup, that's the point I was trying to make. Gigs tend to be more enjoyable if they're more of an occasional event, as opposed to folk thinking "Doesn't really matter if I miss it, there'll be another gig like that next week". That Wormrot gig was an utter blinder.

So, quality not quantity really.

Gride - "Tanec Blaznu" 1-sided LP.

Hard Skin - "Same Meat, Different Gravy" LP.

Insect Warfare - "World Extermination" LP. (give us a shout if you need this on cd)

Insect Warfare - 1-sided noise LP

Skitsystem - "Ondskans Ansikte" 10".

Unholy Grave - "Raw Chaos" LP.

Fixed...

Swings and roundabouts.

ah yes the good old town aint what it used to be argument

If that's how you see it, fair enough. If anything it's the reverse, there's almost too much going on so going to a gig isn't the occasion it would be if they were more sporadic.

You can't spout this mumpy bullshit and apparently be in TWO bands.

It's not "mumpy bullshit", it's an observation. And there's no "apparently" either. Jeez...

if they no longer play local music then venues for bands are getting far and few between.

You're having a laugh, there's far too many gigs on these days. Which is why attendance at so many of them is so low, that and the fact that so many of them consist of disposable pish. This town reached saturation point looooooooooooong ago...

The revamped setlist was excellent with a few things I hadn't heard live before.

Agreed, was a great mix of newer stuff with enough of the old classics to keep everyone happy. I'm a sucker for it all, got a bit of a blind spot when it comes to The Damned...

And hearing "Who killed Bambi?" live was the icing on the cake.

Marsh "Dweller"?? Fuckin' hell, Jake's back in play, as Roy Walker would say!!!

Or perhaps not.....

Never went away, my friend.

It's good, but it's not right...

Is it ok to pay at the doooor for this one?

And you say I'm a moany faced cunt but you're right, there is no such thing as a "poast"

Yes, I do.

And yes, you are.

And yes, I'm right.

A poast is a message on a forum.

No it isn't, it's a "post".

There's no such thing as a "poast". A "poast" does not exist.

What is up with you always writing "poast" instead of "post"?

It's been bugging me for a while too.

It's wrong.

Being asked "are you over 25?" when buying my old man his birthday vodka.

You know you're getting old when you're chuffed at being ID'd...

arsewipe lottery players with 200 tickets in the tobacco queue, once more smokers suffering, they should have their own till.

This.

It's not as if you're going to win either, you greedy cunt. And stop fuck-arsing about with 5 scratchies that won a pound each as well. Fuck off and let me buy my tobacco so I can get the hell outta there.

To add to the general positive vibes about Lloyds TSB, I've been with them for nearly 20 years and they've never given me any problems. They are pretty fond of phoning you up to winch you into a branch for a review but going in and saying "I don't even want to HEAR the words 'credit card' " before they've even had a chance to say anything heads them off nicely.

Over the Christmas period, I had almost my entire month's wages fraudulently taken from my account and they dealt with it well. Extended the o/d to cover the sum in question until it actually came out of my account, destroyed my bank card and gave me some ready cash to tide me over until the new card came through. The card came through in under a week, and bearing in mind this included the New Year holiday days I thought that was pretty damn good going. Went in to cancel the o/d extension the next day and it was if it had never happened.

For Original Spies, a visa debit card from them will prove no problem, so fire in.

Only negative is that their cash machines are about to stop the printed full statement option, which I've been using more than ever since that attempted fraud, but they'll be sending statements every month as a matter of course.

I reckon a bank that largely leaves you alone if you're relatively sensible with your cash is pretty much all you can ask of them, so I'd recommend them 100%.

Today's ace-ic is being over eight weeks off the drink, about two and half stone lighter, infintely healthier, and quite frankly wondering why I never gave it up much much earlier....

Officially "dried out", and it only gets better believe me...

Have an extreme IRONY LOL

but there's something terrifying and incredible about aging '77 Punks.

Terrifyingly sad, a receding mohawk is one of the most depressing things in the world...

Having had the same recurring dream three nights in a row.

" sheep being run through a car production line in an outside yard but only to be decimated by the car parts. Then all the entrails being put into what I can really picture as a large pair pot being mixed. "

I've ran it through my head alot now but I'm intruiged as to what you folk might interpret this as.

This would suggest a representation of the commodification and subsequent alienation of mankind in late-capitalist society.

Or, it's just a fucking daft dream.

A child by some other guy

God, I love that phrase. Devastating.

In fact I'm going to write up a full set of stalking rules tonight.

Save yourself the bother and just close this piece of shit.

Like I said, I'll have a look through all of it.

Keep me posted.

Because these things are important.

Try Mim on Crown Street, there's not the greatest variety but by the fuck, the food really is lovely without annihilating your wallet. Whenever we go in at lunchtime we're the only people there, which puts the seal on it really. Well worth checking out.

Looks like Harrison was at it again...
