What ho? Some news about my band

I know, I know, I promised a couple of people a rant on the compulsary ID cards, that the Labour Party intend on bringing into effect, and that the only political party who oppose it are the Lib Dems... anyways, I'm far too happy to be so much of a grumpy old man and start ranting on about political stuff today.

BECAUSE!! My band played a quasi show today, at my colleges "FECFEST", so named after the refectory where it was screened from the TV Studio was in the refectory, lovingly nicknamed, The Fec.

And it was brilliant, I forgot lyrics to Man! I Feel Like A Woman, but because we were playing such absurd songs people loved it, everyones faces lit up when we burst into the theme from Arthur (Believe In Yourself by Ziggy Marely & The Melody Makers) we had folks skanking. Overall we had great fun with it, especially when our bassist Mully got on stage and we played our original song "UK Fans Can't Skank" & followed it up with "Sheena Is A Ska Punker"

After that I made my way home, after getting distracted by a "water sculpture" called Appearing Rooms by German artist, Jeppe Hein... it's called a "water sculpture"... I would call it a great bit of fun with fountains... so I went playing in it with my mates Mik & Calum, and when all the fountains were up, I decided, "I'm already pissed wet through, what the hell!!" and went and ran through all of the rows of fountains, much to the delight of onlookers.

Anyhoo, so I got home, went to sleep for three hours because I was shattered, woke up and came on the net. blah blah blah.

And gotten talking to a band I am friends with The Upstarts... they're very good, and we were tlaking about having a porn themed gig down here, they hail from Aberdeen by the way... but its not looking good on that front, so I just emailed them earlier, about the possibility of, at the end of August, we go up to Aberdeen, with a coach full of our fans, and us hahah, and do a porn themed gig up their neck of the woods.

Anyways, thats all, and I'm sorry I'm not my usual ranting self. I will be back on form tomorrow and carry out my promise of an attack on ID Cards haha, weighing up the pro's and con's... I still think I need more time anyways to sort out my arguments for it.

Anyways, till next time.
