I was reviewing it for the promoter again, and because I'm a volunteer, basically I get free tickets to stuff I review-it's his way of paying me. It's good fun, and good experience.

No, 'fraid not, they're only a local firm! But like I said, I'm only a volunteer so it's not like a full time thing. You know, it's a few gigs here and there but nothing major-they're only small gigs anyway.

Although I did see Elbow last week at Portsmouth Guildhall (nothing to do with reviewing this time) and they were excellent, but I didn't really take it in very well. It was on a Tuesday. I was cream-crackered because I've just started a new job that has a hefty commute attached and I also had a cold. smiley - sadface so not a brilliant combo, but never mind. I'd recommend Elbow as a live band though. I don't know if they're playing Belfast at all.

Sounds like Wednesday morning was fun for you! At least you enjoyed the band.

Not sure that I'm familiar with them, but I'll keep an eye out.

Hate it when you have to get up for work or whatever and you're shattered. And then the day you *can* lie in is the day you wake up at 8am.

Sorry for not being on so much. Work and things kinda took over for a bit, and then when I was off I was shattered.

Me too.

Crazy isn't it-I've just looked at that last post, and I have yet another cold now. Yuk.

Nice huh? Never mind. Been drinking enough smiley - tea to sink a battleship at the moment!

Oooo. I always get kinda sick of smiley - tea when I have the cold. I like it to be hot and strong enough and not too milky but it never tastes right and I get fed up with too much of it.

Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks. Slowly on the mend. Sore throat is easing thank goodness. I know what you mean about the smiley - tea. Been drinking hot ribena instead as I do get fed up with tea when I've got a cold, and coffee just doesn't work does it?
