Went to see them on saturday. I was impressed by them. Ive always been a fan, but never enough to go see them live, always thought they had boring potential. They actually engaged the audience alot, and are rather good to have a bit of a dance too. Alot of the fans at the Academy seemed a bit po faced though, and an atmosphere of 'its all about the ( Read more... )

Get back to work, JobCentre lot. I need my dole. I need it NOW. Or else i'll be very skint for Belle and Sebastian tomorrow night.

Wow, I'm really, really bored. Having nothing to do during the day is a novelty at first - "wow, the Jeremy Kyle show!" but it soon starts to wear off. I do have another interview on thursday, for a Debt Collector for T Mobile (what a joyful and satisfying job that is going to be, eh). I dont really want the job and am wondering whether or not to ( Read more... )

I dont mean to be snobby, but signing on was rather demeaning. The agents were rather patronising and looked at me in disgust when they asked me what qualifications id like them to put down. I told them to write 'HAVE DEGREE' in bold. The twin highlights of the day were undoubtedly sitting next to a jobseeker who dressed like a pirate - "aaar, ye ( Read more... )

I finally start my tenure as one of Britains great abusers of the nanny state (Margaret Thatcher, 1983) tomorrow morning. I am signing upfor Job Seekers Allowance. A life of leisure, luxury and afternoon pints awaits. Hopefully. God bless our wonderful welfare state and that fact that it provides for layabouts like me.

Lets hope this year is better than the dull waste of time that was 2005, eh?

My parents are away over christmas. Very selfish of them, who is going to cook my turkey and buy me alcohol? Looks like its a a microwaveable christmas for me this year.

Someone said to be on Saturday night that I looked like a cross between John Lennon and Jesus. Time for an image change methinks, as I want to look like NEITHER of those cunts.

Got an unexpected call last night, the lovely Helen had won tickets to see Rufus Wainwright at the delightful Sage. Good old Metro newspaper - its a bundle of free goodness. I wasnt really that big a fan of Rufus before the gig, but I can honestly concede I am converted now. His songs are big bombastic sexiness! He really won me over when during ( Read more... )

Well, a seven hour round trip to see one of the most dismal performances ive ever seen Newcastle produce. Knocked out of the cup by Wigans second string. Pretty piss poor. As was the fan who tried to kick me and when he fell over doing it shouted "fucking Radiohead looking cunt!" at me. A little unnecassary I thought. Especially as i look NOTHING ( Read more... )
