Rock and/or Roll
Posted Aug 24, 1999
Well, V99 at Chelmsford was a rip-roaring success (except of course for the raw sewage in bushes element that came to light yesterday).
I enjoyed a personal best this year for, not only did I blag the press tickets in the first place, but I also got to get disgustingly drunk, baffle and confuse my way deep into the heart of the MTV crowd by simply claiming to be a staggering variety of people, working for a staggering variety of people, I paid some children to attack the ex-Blue Peter snow champion and Big Breakfast presenter Richard Bacon with water pistols (the man ran screaming like a frightened girl), and I managed to smuggle a couple of other people into the Kula Shaker photocall… briefly.
And that was merely during the first day. During the first evening I went even further and caused considerable chaos within the press camp. But, as they say, that’ll have to wait until another time. I now have to compile some reviews for a few people to justify my tickets to the PR people and work off some of my expenses. There’s always a downside to these things.

Now I see it
Posted Aug 16, 1999
I've decided that I'm doing this at entirely the wrong time. Reading through these other journal entries, and seeing the littering of spelling mistakes I've left behind, makes me think that perhaps I should only write things when I'm vaguely conscious and perhaps not so heavily influenced by uncle Jack and cousin Jim... perhaps.
This past week has been hellish. Along with cobbling together the next issue of our usual magazine, I've also had to edit 180 pages of a quarterly letters book and, on top of all that nonsense, sub 90 pages of raw editorial copy for a new magazine the firm's launching about weddings - a subject I pride myself in knowing staggeringly little about.
But, on the plus side, I've blagged a couple of press tickets to V99 at Chelmsford this weekend and am hoping to meet James Brown and possibly start a fight with Ian Brown - it's a Brown theme.
Anyway, the constant distraction of my overly-vocal girlfriend is working wonders to put me off again, so I'm off to some guitar tabs site to make annoyingly loud noise and drown her out! Ha ha ha!

Anybody, erm...
Posted Jul 27, 1999
I wonder if anybody knows where I can obtain a dodgy free (or very cheap) Doctorate in Journalism pretty sharpish.
I'm already qualified, but I need to have a Doctorate soon and I have no intention of having to work for it.
Surely somebody out there knows of some generous if disreputable seat of learning (or even a semi-crazed church of something or other) than can help me out. Well, here's hoping.
I thank you for your time.

Try and Triad again
Posted Jul 26, 1999
As an addition to my more fluid pieces on the horrors of East Anglia, I thought I'd just mention now that a car chase involving over twenty four suspected members of the Triads ended in Colchester on Saturday with the brutal murder of an Oiental man who had, reportedly, been assaulted by a large number of men using a baseball bat and a machette.
24 men were arrested by the police.
And you thought Colchester was just a sleepy army town rife with disease-ridden teenagers!

All Change
Posted Jul 26, 1999
Ah, now although it may appear as if I'm neglecting this journal lark, I am.
However, my reasons are good. Namely, I'm off to Paris this Friday for a long weekend's frivolity and, secondly, I'm moving house soon and don't have time for this kind of nonsense at the moment.
Of course all this will change soon and I'll dedicate my life to my page... ahem.
