Hey ho! Nine day weekends are cool especially when you've got nothing to do except get drunk and finish all those books you meant to... The USS Enterprise is off the shores of this little town right now. I wondered around town fully expecting to see Captain Kirk getting thrown out of Yates' but apparently it's just an aircraft carrier. It contains sailors much like British ships except they're more likely to complain about the lack of anywhere to get a decent steak. Another thing that recently happened here is the opening of a place called Tiger Tiger. These are places with a number of different rooms all of which sell the same overpriced bottled beers. The discovery of the night was that they have people who are paid to hand me paper towels after I have just urinated and washed my hands. I wanted to ask him how it felt to be paid to do the job of a plastic box nailed to a wall but I guess you gotta start somewheres. Anyway it was shite. The other thing that happened was I went to London. While browsing Waterstones in Covent Garden I came across a new book signing. I can't remember the name of the book - something about ancient cultures' use of resonant sounds in religous ceremonies. Anyway, by way of demonstration they had a man called Bear who played the digeridoo. He offered to play it at me with my eyes closed. Confident of having witnesses in case he tried anything, I accepted. It was a peculiar feeling - sort of like a massage with sound. Unfortunately I was unable to come up with anything particularly descriptive at the time so his demo fell slightly flat and my mind remained un-expanded. I've not heard JD yet but I believe Swells speaketh the truth in all matters B&S so it must be wank. Oh look just ignore him. He'll get bored and go away. James Thorniley said a lot of unpleasant things about Starsailor. GOOD ON YER BOY! Quick appeal: Any London listees going to RAH able to offer a fellow twee human a sofa or floor or nice soft cushion for the night? I don't take up much space and I'm quite easy on the eye in the mornings. Please drop me a line off-list. Or if you know of any all night club type dos after the gig. Or if you just have something nice to say. Thanks. Have fun everyone in Glasgow. Robsterrr ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
