Not so foolish after all and other things...
Posted Jul 28, 2000
Well I did get to talk to the other person involved in the feeling foolish episode (see below) so i guess what I did wasn't that foolish after all - they're still willing to talk to me 
.
Today I'm going to be going off and spending the weekend finishing off a scuba course. Diving, makes you think of sunny places coral reefs and lots of pretty fish to look at. Not so for me, a flooded gravel pit in Cambridgeshire, visibility is good if it gets to more than 3m.
Still I've got to start somewhere and I think I'm looking forward to it but it still is rather daunting.

Feeling Foolish
Posted Jul 25, 2000
Why is it that sometimes you can do something that you think is the right thing to do and then end up feeling as if it was a foolish thing? or at least that the other person could well think that you're a fool for even thinking it. Is this just the insecure part of my mind playing tricks with me or a more rational thought process. Who knows, I don't. Even if the other thought I was being foolish, would they be too polite to tell me (probably).
Oh well never mind what's done is done and can't be changed. Only time will tell if I'm right or not.

An Article!

It's mine all mine. My article on internet privacy has been accepted and featured on the front page
I'd just like to say thanks to 26199 for the editing job (but looks like he didn't have that much work to do 
) and to Coelacanth for inspiring the article in the first place all those weeks back by asking some questions about things I should have known about but had to go and look up.

Cousteau, at Underworld, Camden, London, 2000-06-06
Posted Jun 6, 2000
I didn't plan on going out to see Cousteau this evening till yesterday when I found out the Tom Hingley was going to be one of the support acts.
There were three bands on, so quite good value for the seven pounds entry fee. First on were a band called either Moses or The Roses I wasn't quite sure what was said. These were interesting in that they comprised a singer a guitarist (acoustic) ad two string players (a violinist and a cellist). I enjoyed listening to the set, the singer sounded like one of those celtic mid atlantic singers and he had a good voice. My main memory of this band will be though the cellist, I thought she was beautiful! They can't be doing too badly as they've got themselves onto the Glastonbury festival set
The second support was Tom Hingley. I've seen him a couple of times before and this time I could tell that he'd spent a lot of the last six months since I'd seen him playing gigs. The songs were more polished and his vocals were there as well. I've still to see a singer with such passion who is able to get there with just themselves and a guitar, totally raw, totally naked performance. I'll be there at his next London gig and I'll be going to buy the album when it comes out as well.
The main act were Cousteau. I'd seen them play a few songs before but this was the first time I'd seen them do a full set. Most impressive they were too. The singer has apparently been compared to Scott Walker and you can see why, with the somewhat retro look and sound they have (big stand up bass, semi acoustic lead guitar, singer who plays the tambourine and maraccas at apropriate moments). I'm certainly going to see if I can find a copy of their debut CD when I'm next in a record shop.
Seven pounds, three acts, bargin!
