Talking s**t* in the early hours of the morning.
*You* have a mind like an open sewer...

Well you started it, and I've never denied the filth that passes for my thoughts....

I merely stated i didn't expect to be getting a lot of sleep. I didn't put 
,
or even 
in the sentence. *That* would have been entirely different.

Seriously, i made a perfectly innocent comment about the weekend and you introduced smut. You just can't help yourself, can you?
Oh, I have a record shop to visit in Derby.

Oh yes? There are many record shops in Derby. WHich one were you thinking of?
No, I can't, but then I don't really want to either...

Reveal in St Peter's Street has been recommended to me as a good place to buy blues.
I've also been recommended the Flowerpot.

I've got a feeling Reveal might have moved to the Main Centre- I'll walk to the bus that way and check. I was planning on taking you to The Flowerpot (or possibly The New Flowerpot, ever couple of years or so it sticks 'new' on the name, I'm not sure why) on Friday anyway- it's one of the few places in town you're likely to get cider on handpump

Well, I'll trust you to find it. 
Though my source is a Derby inhabitant...
He was recommending the Flowerpot for Saturday as Climax Blues Band are playing there. Not quite what we are after, I said, but Friday sounds good...
Is Another World (that is the Derby SF shop, isn't it?) worth a visit?

Shops move around a lot in Derby though. I could be wrong though- it could well be another record store that's moved.
Another World? Mmm, not bad. Fair range of DVDs, including a good horror/oriental section. Used to have a lot bigger range of stuff upstairs, but it's still worth a quick look. We can do a shop tour Saturday morning if you like?
The Flowerpot is cracking for bands, but it's *very* loud, it sort of defeats the purpose of us all meeting up if we can
only communicate via text message....

I've seen CBB before. They are loud in quiet venues, so I guessed right.
I'm happy to do shops saturday morning. Just hope the replacement plastic arrives before then...

Ah, small postal strike related problem?

Hopefully not, as I only ordered it after the dispute was brought to a halt.
I have other plastic anyway.

Kerr_Avon - hunting stray apostrophes and gutting poorly parsed sentences Posted Nov 6, 2003
I have a piece of plastic A cash card. Bruce has nothing, not so much as a back account. It's safer that way.

Never had a problem with mine. As for functioning without a bank account, well, thats kind of medievil in my opinion, but to each their own...

Kerr_Avon - hunting stray apostrophes and gutting poorly parsed sentences Posted Nov 6, 2003
He doesn't exactly function without a bank account- his pay goes into my account, and he gets an allowance each month. He isn't fit to run finances. He joined the Army at 16- they deduct all your bills begore giving you the pay. Then his wife did the household finances. He has no interest in doing it, and he knows from the year and a half he spent on his own that he's shxt at it, so I take care of it all.
I do know a couple that function totally without any bank accounts, they don't seem to have too many problems.

Well, hats of to Bruce in that case. A man who is prepared to admit that he is sh*t with money is a rare thing indeed, and even rarer is a man who knows he is sh*t with money and is prepared to let his significant other control his finances.
I couldn't have my job without a bank account. It's part of my terms and conditions.

Kerr_Avon - hunting stray apostrophes and gutting poorly parsed sentences Posted Nov 6, 2003
Ah well, it was very simple- a case of "you want me to be in charge of bills, I'm not prepared to do that unless I've got control of the money". The idea wasn't totally alien to him, as his mother controlled the household finances too- his father was a train driver who often did nights, so he didn't have the time for it.
I don't think Bruce's employees really mind, as long as the pay's going into a bank account- it's not like it's any more work for them, they're not buggering about with cheques or anything like that.

Still, money can be a very touchy subject. It's one of those 'macho' things, isn't it? Not, i have to say that Bruce strikes me as overly 'macho'.
I must admit it's the only thing I am any good at domestically, money.

Kerr_Avon - hunting stray apostrophes and gutting poorly parsed sentences Posted Nov 6, 2003
I'm not good at it, I'm just less crap, to be honest.
I don't think he feels any need to be macho, he's pretty much spent half his adult life demostrating his masculine skills
