h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

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.

you jammy person!! Not fair. Do your people have a branch over here I can do stuff for??

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. 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.

They played Glastonbury this year. (did I say that before?)

Yeah I was absolutely whacked on wednesday morning zzzzzzzzz...............

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.

Yeah. I've been doing that a lot recently. Keep waking up at 6.45 (the time I usually get up) on my day off! urrrgggh!

How are you? you've been away for a bit.

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.

know how you feel. I've taken some time off over Christmas, but ended up taking time off before anyway-got struck down with this nasty cold/flu thing-yuk..! hopefully on the mend soon though. Feeling a bit better today

Work can kinda take over at times, doesn't it. I'm shattered too. Need another holiday...

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 to sink a battleship at the moment!

Oooo. I always get kinda sick of 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 . 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?

Hateful stuff.

I remember it was great to have lost your voice at school as the teachers left you alone.
