Long time no blog

Ok so I’ve now left this an embarrassingly long time since my last post. It’s shameful. If anyone actually ever regularly read this I’ve now almost certainly alienated him or her. Wah, wah, poor ole me.

Sad thing is, haven’t actually had that much to talk about. Since I jetted back from Spain (see previous post) I’ve been mainly living the 9-5 trying to remember how to work. Rock and roll is has not been.


So I’m not going to rant on and on about nothing. That’s for real bloggers to do. I’ll just summarise some small notes below for your pleasure and leave you until I have something valuable to say. Ciao.

1.
Rockband on the Nintendo Wii is a heavily addictive game and no matter how much I think I can, I cannot sing Reptilla as well as Julian Casablancas. Well done on that Julian, you sing it well. Repeat ten times "I am not Julian Casablancas" and go to the back of the class. Wiseass.

2.
If offered ‘extremely restricted view’ tickets at The Theatre Royal Haymarket don’t take them, no matter how cheap they are. When I pushed the ticket attendant further on ‘how restricted was extremely restricted’ he bluntly replied ‘you won’t be able to see the actors’. Nice. That, my friends, is not a play. That is some kind of warped radio rendition of a theatre production, played out in a theatre. Oh I don't know. All I know is if I want to sit not watching a play, I won't be paying £15 for the privilege.

3. Fortnum and Mason’s is pretty much heaven. Harrods is for chavs, F&M is the real deal. Eat my words Al Fayed you croon. It’s like going back in time, in a good way. And it stocks vegetarian haggis! (cue the distant groan and rumble of several thousand Scots turning in their cholesterol-laden graves at the sheer suggestion their precious national dish has been healthified in any way). If you haven't been there, pop on down. Take out a loan and buy a tin of biscuits. Treat yourself.


I'll be back soon with some actual news. Big love and all that.
