I've got to tell you my tale

Hmm, so maybe I should really post things closer to the time they happened, but anyway....

In November I went with Susie to see the Verve at the Roundhouse in Camden. This was the first time I had been there and had heard it was a good venue. Now, whilst I do agree it is a nice building, and the acoustics were pretty good, the fact it was dead flat meant I couldn't see a thing, stupid shortness.

That sometimes happens, but normally it is just the main act I can't see and the support acts I do get to watch as there are less people around. Unfortunately, this time there was no support, just a bunch of projected images (which I'm sure did have a meaning) with some backing music, not really the best way to entertain the crowd members who had been there since doors at 7 (like us).

I wondered what they would be like as they had just reformed, although obviously Richard Ashcroft (lead singer) has been releasing albums and playing concerts since then, and I wasn't disappointed. They played for two hours, which is a good session for an act (I guess they probably had to make up for the fact they had no support), and I think it was 30 minutes longer than the concert they played in the North of England the day previous, lucky us, and they played every song I knew and liked which is always a bonus....here's a couple of videos





So, that's it for now.....I appreciate that I haven't put many pictures up here, I'll try to remedy that next time, oh, and by the way, I lost my pool tournament title last night, losing in the Quarter Finals.

It was!

I'm sad because I've just found out that there is no second season of The Class.

We both really like watching it and it's rare that we find a sitcom that we actually enjoy watching and make an effort (well, maybe not that much of an effort) to see the next episode (we only started watching somewhere halfway through so there may still be episodes we haven't seen).....stupid TV executives, what do they know!!!

What a lovely place!

I obviously have some classy people working in my office block (note that there are 5 or 6 companies sharing it)

Last week I noticed that someone had scratched the word 'Cunt' ont a metal plate in the lift, and today a guy walked into the toilets, went for a piss in one of the cubicles (with the door open, I mean, what's the point when there are several urinals free), didn't flush the toilet, left the seat up and walked out without washing his hands......nice!
