Knee on the mend!

So i’m feeling much better. Been walking around alot more which is great, i feel human again. I cant wait to get back out and start tour again, the house is driving me insane. We do boardmasters festival in Newquay next week which i’m excited about, i’m stoked to see Gallows and Ghost Of A Thousand.

At the weekend our friend Steve came down from Glasgow to cheer me up and suprise me which was awesome we hung out at my place and got shitty then he took me for thai food and a roast. Felt like my first day out of prison leaving the house, i forgot what the sun felt like. They carried me onto the beach like a fat whale hahhahah……wait till you see the video.

We start tour next week with Straight reads the line, its gonna be rad. They just signed to Distort so they are one of the family now so head over there and check them out they are fucking awesome. www.myspace.com/straightreadstheline

Im gonna go hunt down some wine.

The Cinema

I’m in the cinema again, Kenny isn’t working in the bar today so i had to pay for a coke. That pissed me off. On top of that its around two hundred and fifty degrees Celsius in here and i’m cooking like a prime steak fillet. The air-con doesn’t work properly and the massive windows trap the heat like a massive greenhouse, it’s an ordeal.

Earlier on the big gay bar tender who is working instead of Kenny was singing along to his shitty fucking music at an embarrassingly loud volume, right there, while I was waiting for my coke, what the fuck does the guy think he’s doing?

In other news I found out yesterday that our Newcastle show has been cancelled, this fucked me off for three reasons. 1. We don’t get to play. 2. I don’t get to see  my friend Sam who I haven’t seen for fucking ages and 3. I can’t drop off my Ampeg to the guy who bought it on ebay. So I have to courier it. What a fucking world.

I’m working at Brixton Academy tonight selling t-shits for Billy Idol. Nice day for a white wedding…..fuck off Billy and cut your hair.

Finally. My beard is getting huge.

Things I Have Been Doing…

Due my psychopathic upstairs neighbour in Brighton I have been exiled to Greenwich in South East London to stay with my friend Kenny until we go on tour again. I can’t go home because I literally might get stabbed. She is mental…. I’m not joking. Kenny is looking after me well but he doesn’t have internet at his house so I have to borrow his laptop and take it to the cinema to get online, hence my lack of updates.

Since I’m in Greenwich I’ve been spending a lot of time in the park. I also took Kaplinski to the Natural History Museum, it was ok but there were loads of kids, nowhere to leave your bags and it was hot as shit. On the upside we saw some big skeletons and a massive blue whale. Kaplinski was sweating like a pig when i bid him farewell onto the tube to spend 12 hours on a plane to Japan….. Poor old Chris.

Last night I went to see Manatees play at metro, they’re amazing, you should go see them and buy their new shirt, then you’ll be a bit more like me, and that is more than anybody could ask for isn’t it? After the show I went to Crobar, it was ok.

Then today I went to see the new batman, Kenny works in Greenwich picture house so i can go to the cinema for free rather than stay in and wish i had enough money to go to the cinema. I was expecting the film to be shit. But it was great. You could go see it if you can afford it or if you know Kenny.

I’m going to buy some cheap meat and cook some mexican food now. Bye.

Visqueen

Well i went to see Olly, it was nice as I miss his “sailor’s mouth” as Dan Carter calls it, although at no point did i get offered any cake. I reckon he found that photo of a cake online and was just showing off.

Now i’m back home, drinking beers and listening to Unsane. It’s 2.40am so my housemates probably wish Olly hadn’t fucked his knee up, that way I’d be listening to one of the heaviest bands in the world somewhere else.

Had an insane day today. Sat down and ate that cake. Nothing else really.

P.S – I don’t like the new Heineken as much as the old one.

Anyways…Beer is sweet and it also makes you look cool at parties.

Kaplinski

That is Chris Kaplinski, he does our sound and tour manages us in Canada, hes in brighton for a couple of days and yesterday we went out and got shit faced.

We love him even though he is a boon

You are a cunt. Im gonna smash your fucking knees up in Canada. If i didn’t fancy you so much i would stab you in the neck but as i’ve been crushing on you since you joined the band, i’m only gonna smash your knees up. I like your neck. Fat neck. Big old fat neck.

Oliver

P.S – Is it only me and you using this blog you ginger ham slap?
