Well I would give a detailed, objective yet somehow personalised account of the Baxendale gig, but I won't because I couldn't hear a thing. So I spent half the gig chatting to various delightful sinisterines instead. Whoever designed the PA in that place should be shot. So Bax-haters, you should have come along, you couldn't tell what they were playing anyway... (And I didn't get one of the CDs :-( ) After the gig, we adjourned to the nearest pub (obviously), notable for the slowest Guiness service EVER, and sat round a table talking shite (obviously). And Carsmile kept accusing me of being a tart, which I completely deny. After all, I wasn't the one offering kisses to anyone who wanted one... Mmmmm, cheap Turkish beer... Anyway, before you all get to enjoy your Christmas stuffing and wrapped sausages (personally I prefer plenty of sauce), I leave you with this random and completely irrelevant fact: Pythagoras' theorem : 24 Words The Lord's Prayer : 66 Words Archimedes' Principle : 67 Words The 10 Commandments : 179 Words The US Government regulations on the sale of cabbage : 26,911 Words Merry Christmas, see you next year...
