  4. Shit Website

    Apparently my shit is currently travelling up a relatively gentle hill at nearly 5mph following the road and not, as i imagine it would, travelling downhill, under the garden and into the septic tank under the near side of the field where the tank is buried... I am slightly suspicious... I'm going to keep watching and see where it goes.

    Headaches!! Especially when I'm working. And especially at corporate shows where, if seen by the wealthy/organiser, you have to always smile and be polite FUCK OFF MY HEADS ABOUT TO EXPLODE!!

    Also, naff Motown bands. Urgh. And naff "professional musicians" who don't know how to plug in their own pedal boards. And venues that don't have a cold button on their "air con," they just make the headache worse!!

    Fucking hell. So they made a slight administrative error which was immediately cleared up with one phone call, and you feel the need for this level of abuse at whoever comes into range? You should be phoning her back to apologise. I hate to think what would happen if you had any real problems to cope with. Get a grip.

    They've made the same "slight administrative error" 3 months in a row when all payments have been made in good time (at least 2 weeks before the due date), this one took the biscuit as i am currently low on funds, let alone the final 200 the letter claimed i hadn't paid, which i had. Its not the nicest piece of post to wake up to, sets the mood for the day, which is now a bad one, thanks to a slight administrative error.

    I do feel bad for the lass that answered. Though its almost a certainty i wouldn't get the same person again.

    Where did the sunshine go? That almost cheered me up, i was going to mow the lawn.

    HMRC.

    And so it goes, I received a letter this morning dated the 2nd June claiming "your payment is overdue," so i made a quick phone call to confirm they had received the payment, they had indeed, on the 26th May, a whole 2 weeks previous o_O, so commence a couple of minutes of :swearing: at the poor lass who answered the phone, then i asked if i could speak to (the name on the letter) Mr Roland Harding, and she said "i cannot pass your call on while your using that foul language, but thank you for your call, goodbye"

    :swearing:ALL I WANT TO DO IS SWEAR AT SOMEONE MORE MEANINGFUL!!!:swearing:

    Poor girl. I do feel sorry for swearing at her. And now all i want to do is find Mr Roland Harding and hit him with something heavy. Heavy like a jumbo jet.

    My question to them next time is, do collections work in a different solar system communicating in a very hard to translate series of beeps, winks and flashes as opposed to accounts being on earth, somewhere in the UK speaking English? As thats the only explanation i can come up with for HMRC accounts and collections departments being INCOMPETENT IDIOTS!!!

  18. Weird Things that I do

    I struggle to play bass without a plectrum.

    I don't play using the plectrum a whole lot, most of the time i chew on it. It just doesn't make sense without a plectrum to chew on!! Its one of those psychosomatic things, I've always had a plectrum or nicked one off a nearby guitarist and cant do it without.

    Any one else have something like this or is this just me?

  25. Ghosts / Paranormal thread

    (snip)

    When my mum was a teenager, she used to go and visit a friend of my Grandma's (Mum's mum) called Lilian, and stay over etc etc. Lilian's mum was really unwell for a while, and pretty much on her last legs. Apparently Lilian's mum had always been really fond of my mum when she was growing up etc etc. So, one Monday morning after my Mum had been away visiting Lilian over the weekend, my Mum woke up in the middle of the night, and there was someone standing by her bed, stroking my Mum's hair. Initially, she just instinctively thought it was her own Mum. "What's wrong?" No response. "What's wrong?" No response. So my Mum is shitting it (she can't see who it is because it's pitch dark in the room), she eventually plucks up the courage and jumps out of bed and sticks the light on. Nobody there. She looks at the clock and it's 1.10am. Eventually goes back to sleep with the light on, shitting herself.

    She gets up in the morning and tells her mum and dad at the breakfast table who just scoff and tell her she must have been dreaming. The phone then rings, and my Grandma answers, and my mum watches her turning pale. She comes off the phone and says "Lilian's mum died at ten past one this morning"

    (/snip)

    My dad has a similar experience a few years back (though less of the touching) he was standing by Batemans Tower (Brightlingsea, Essex) looking out over what would normally be the creek, but could see nothing past the railings.

    His friend Tim was standing next to him and said we'll be OK Phil, we'll be OK.

    He suddenly woke up, looked at the time, 3.30am, went back to sleep thinking nothing of it.

    Woke up the next day, went to work as normal, and when he went home for lunch found a message on the answerphone from another friend saying Tim and his family had died at 3.30am that morning in a car crash a few miles from home.

    Safe to say this freaked him out. Just a bit.

    I feel left out, OK, he's old, but hes got some cool stories of spooky stuff.

    I've only seen what i still stand by as being ghost dogs one night next to the church.

    How the fuck do 2 Mike Tyson/Labrador cross dogs a) have red eyes (not glowing like folk lore, just red) b) walk through a 6 foot dense hedge without moving it c) walk into a field of 4ft corn and disappear without rustling or moving the corn?

    This was a common sighting in Brightlingsea by All Saints Church on Moverons Lane and made it into many books, though i didn't know this until i looked it up years later.
