hullo! i'm back home now, and in the week (almost) that i've been away things have changed 'round these parts. my bedroom looks a lot brighter and cleaner, the loft is floored now as well. and the pet shop on the main street next to what every's is now the barber shop that used to be round the corner and up the hill, next to the bank. so glastonbury.... the bands were good and stuff, festival highlights (excluding belles, they have their own section coming up) were the beta band who were simply fantastic and even got away with not playing dry the rain (bastards) Mull Historical Society were excellent for a sing/bop along. gorkys as always were fantabulous, but before they came on i caught a guy called pete yorn who sounded a bit like what brmc wanted to sound like. the point is though that rolf was the highlight of the festival with his midsummer christmas song and hollies cover. "billy sloan style photos" but "what are they" struan asked, well, billy sloan is this guy who is the entertainments/ showbiz correspondant on the news programme scotlant today and also in those fine establishments of print that are the daily record and the sunday mail. he always has these cheesy photos with the stars. however, the authenticity was recently questioned as he usualy wears the same shirt and has the same smile and stands in the same position. so anyway the belles did a Q signing tent thing, which was really good. my vitriol were signing before them and of the thirty or so people in the queue about seven of them were there for my vitriol, everyone else for the belles. it was funny when the security bloke tried to get us to leave the fenced queue we informed him that we were all here for the next band and as he glanced along the line at the twee indie-popsters standing waiting on their band to shuffle out, he informed my vitriol that they were as well leaving the tent after only abouty five minutes. so then they appeared and i got a notepad signed and photos taken with stuart and stevie. stuart had hurt his hand playing football. richard agreed that the guys from alfie were totally out of their tits, and i got mick a bit confussled about "bud" and "burds" i think mr cooke's mind was on other things maybe. then i walked away, then i remembered that i left the notepad on the table so i ran back and got it. then i went and chilled and watched a bit of brmc, then went back to the tent. i caught a bit of elbow before b&s, they were alright. umm b&s were fantastic, is there any need to eloaborate? they covered the boys are back in town again, it rocked (spot deliberate irony) then i toddled off to see gorky's and euros walked past me on the way down, so the question is, was he up seeing the belles or a bit of roger waters? then i went and hippied out for a little while and wrote some things in my notepad, i might share them with you when i feel special again. lots of other things happened but i can't be bothered detailing my weekend in real-time that and i might be too mashed to remember so byeee thomas x ps: the best kind of drugs are free ones __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
