Summer On The Radio

Just watched a very entertaining Centre game, they won 2-0. The rest of the afternoon will be spent revising lines and stuff for the gig, which I hope will go well. Apparently we’re playing behind a load of buffet tables which will be interesting with a load of drunk idiots around.

I hope everyone has a nice night tonight and a good 2007.

 

I Love Her Because

Our game is off due to a waterlogged pitch, as are most of the other local games, so I have the luxury of an afternoon in watching Soccer Saturday.

I got myself a new watch and a microphone cable today, both will come in very handy.

 

Dry Ice

Had a band practise this morning, we are in good shape, although we have to be there at 4pm for a 10pm show which is a rather silly time I think.

Off to Lucy’s tonight, not sure what we’re doing but I hope it will be fun.

 

You Made Me Breakfast

Spent last night watching the quiz thing on Channel Four at James’. Today went to Bath to spend some of my Chrustmas vouchers, I bought albums by Nick Drake, Dr Feelgood and Journey. Also a book about Tommy Cooper. Quality.

Oo Bideford at home on Saturday, big game. Then of course the gig on 31st at the shithole Harp And Crown.

 

Sweet Gene Vincent

Today will be a quiet day, although something will hopefully happen in the evening. I plan to read my “You Are The Ref” book today, which I haven’t had a chance to yet. Quality.

 

Wake Up

Beat Calne 1-0 today with a goal that was most definetly over the line, which was lovely. That’s mostly all that has happened, I have been in listening to Ian Dury and Leonard Cohen (great gifts).

 

I Went To Molly’s Chamber

A merry christmas to all of my readers from Stu HQ I hope you all have a lovely time.
