For your amusement


I heard that some of you lot were hanging for some new gossip or entertainment. So ill try.

Ive just returned from Brum for a trade convention where we managed to stay pretty drunk most of the time. Believe you me it helped relieve the boredom.
Hard Rock that way sports a second rate off the peg tonic suit as worn by Rick Butler, as well as some garb once sweat on by Spencer Davis. Couple it with dj allsorts and mass cheap booze and it was worth the slumming. With my work its all about the people and honestly without them id be i n a worse state. In saying that the ride back to the insulubrious Hilton at the NEC was an eye opener as to how badly the night had plateaued. You know when your pissed when you start singing, ney, screaming to Bon Jovi. I hang my head in shame.
Upon return from the show on sunday, I decided to start piecing together a rough semblance of a plan. I had heard during the show that one of the designers had quit, leaving the position open....oh did i mention im not satisfied with my current position? ill leave the rest to you.

Monday I took the day off for a supposed photo shoot at the Ace Cafe for some new, flash and glossy mag where they wanted the usual mods vs rockers scenario played out with the vehicles being the focus. So after being previously sold on the pros of the event by the photographer, Gary, fellow BISCL member and I head out there for the agreed time of 3pm. At 6pm the team started shooting. At 9, after having only 3 shots taken, were told were done with and thanks.
So another waste of a day off. I dont have photos either.

This week though sees me playing a part in a new night on the Holloway Road. 60s soul, rhythm and blues, jazz and boogaloo at the Herbert Chapman. Should be a good night. Hit Back! its called. Hopefully the first of many. Hopefully it will take the focus off the blues im feeling right now. you know its bad when you start singing Eric Clapton. ffs.

Anyways, the pic ive posted is me at our local pub with my best fake gameshow host smile on. Please ignore the fact that im wearing exactly the same as in the last pic. I do have a change of clothes i swear!
