Wrong way idiot! and the gig, and really bad movie.

[All mixed tense, doesn't read well, but this all happened Friday night]

I’m an idiot, I drove the wrong way

So I’m off to a gig tonight and I got 40 minutes to get to Bristol from Swindon. Perfect. I’ve got directions over the phone. Brilliant, I can’t go wrong. Get on at J16 off at J19 of the M4. Easy, right?

So I get down to the motorway, and the motorway is nice and empty. Making great time and thinking that I will be able to mingle before the gig starts.

Then I realise I just gone past Juntion 15! I’ve gone the wrong direction when I got on the motorway. What an idiot face.

Gig

So, I get to the gig, which is at Filton College. After going in the stage doors, I’m directed to the real entrance and stand up on the balcony. Good little gig.

It was a big mix of covers and a few original instrumental pieces. College kids are well young. Was I ever that fresh faced and fashion consious? In college, I think it was all shirts and well polished loafers. No-one looked like a tribute to Dexy or the Ramones when I was 17.

A friend was playing there, so if he reads this, good job!

Bad Movie

After the gig we had a few drinks at another friend’s house and watched whatever was on the tele.

It was film called Sleepstalker. It was well bad. Had every possible horror movie cliche ever, but still we stayed up until 2 o’clock watching it, and then didn’t bother seeing the end. What a waste of time.

Anyway, got to see M & A’s new house, really nice old terrace in Bristol. Nice work, and good luck with the plaster

And, yeah, I like Will Young, so what.

More badgers….. and mobiles phones

Saw another dead badger today. Maybe they are following me and getting injured in the process.

It had been covered up with a small piece of cardboard though. So if someone came along, they could still see poor old dead badge-meister staring back at them.

There was a girl at the side of the badger in her car on her mobile. I assume she was phoning the dead badger hot line or something.

On the topic of mobiles in cars….. the whole point is to stop accidents, yet you get people pulling over on normal roads to use their phone.

You’re still in the way!
