I’m off to see Rammstein tonight with Gerry. This is excellent news in the first instance, but even better than that, I’ve the day off tomorrow for the dual purpose of a. going to the bike show, and b. sleeping off the hangover I hope to arrange from this evenings entertainment.
For the second day in a row I’ve been forced onto public transport. Now that I’ve sussed the route a little better it’s not too bad, just slightly irksome what with all the chopping and changing from bus to tube to train et al. This morning I found myself on a brand news bus and I can’t say I’m very impressed. It’s great for additional legroom but the fucking seat has a Rizla width of cushion on it. After 5 mins my arse bones felt as it they were being jackhammered by a navvy, this in turn forced my spine to concertina like an accordion and by the time I alighted I was a foot shorter and could barely walk.
Yesterday evening I arrived at The Ship on Wardour Street at bang on 5.45. Red was there already and we were joined by Harry, Mark and Frank. As well as scoring a table (the place was, as usual, packed) the music was bloody lovely. After a few I toddled off to Oxford Street to get the central line back to Hackney, instead of going back to the Twatcave I popped by Sue’s gaff where IC and some pals were having a little catch up. I duly got stuck in after a massive great piss and after an hour or so, IC and I went home for a final glass of wine.
Right, on account of the lack of post tomorrow, Gerry’s chart is early, as is my desire to wish your weekends well, even though somewhat premature, unless you have the day off like me, are unemployed, retired or dead.
