Haha, no you'd have to try a lot harder to upset us m'dear. Us Southerners have balls of steel and hearts of ice.

I actually have a talking dog in my half finished novel. I really need to finish it and actually had a blinder of an idea for today even though it'll mean rewriting a massive chunk of it.

I sent an email this evening to gig a gig supporting Sucioperro next week. Honestly I'm so excited waiting for a reply that I don't know if I can sleep.

Do you want us to break into your place and steal things?
And I hope you don't have a car, we'll replace the wheels with bricks! Heh heh.
Awesome - they're good!
The only thing that puts me off them is knowing that an old friend of mine slept with most of them. But then, she also slept with 3 of Biffy Clyro and Frank Turner so I guess the odds weren't good...

Lmao that's kind of awesome tbh. Why not?
That's a very 1am kinda thought. What album though?

Haha, it's a rare kind of 1am thought for me - I severed my relationship with whiskey a few years ago after drinking too much Glenfiddich. I'm just starting to be able to smell it without vomiting again.
It was I'm Wide Awake It's Morning followed by Drunk Kid Catholic and some other random oldies. Oh yes.
HNGHHHHHH
My goodness. Easily my most anticipated Vita title (I'll double dip on the PC version too).
Can't wait. Decent portable racers are so thin on the ground.
York: very pretty, lots of cool old shit, loads of good places to eat / shop, cutest cobbled streets evah. Most Americans I know who have been are always fascinated by the pub that is circa 1400, the cathedral is obviously amazing.

You're a big guy.
Canterbury is a good alternative to York - I see them as very similar in terms of the atmosphere of the place. Obviously both are cathedral cities. Plus the Marlowe Theatre is brilliant. It is a lot nearer to London than York too.
Nottingham, I feel obliged to recommend. Sherwood is lovely, there is a castle, there are some fantastic restaurants such as the Victoria Hotel, which is famous for its beer (I don't drink and it is still a brilliant place). Wollaton Park/Hall is good too (Wayne Manor!), oh and it has the oldest inn in the UK - Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem. Oh and SmokeyDave!
Yep. There will always be "problems" to be solved, human nature, we wallow too much in bad news as it is thanks to the 24/7 if it bleeds it leads news culture.
Tell me about it.

The last time i was excited by the news was following the London riots. Shit had me at the edge of my seat.
It was like watching 24-7 live crime show.

It made for good news watching
I feel like you might be confusing 'boring' with 'depressing'. Middle Eastern wars, uprisings and Westminster scandals are interesting. Rocks are not. Rocks are the opposite of interesting.
You know when you're at a party or a social gathering of some sort and you meet someone who says "I'm a geologist. I study rocks for a living" and you go "wow! That's interesting!"? No you don't. Because that would NEVER HAPPEN.
This sounds like a Big Bang Theory joke.

I think I'm getting a cold. Just my luck really. I'm going to Hong Kong next Tuesday-Thursday and hopefully it clears by then, otherwise going through those quarantine procedures will be a treat.

I find geology very interesting. And if you'd bothered to read the article before ripping in to it you would know the reason it's a big thing is because it's another indicator to there once being water on Mars. If you don't know why that's important then there's no point explaining it.
I dont think war is interesting, it's the same shit that's been happening for thousands of years for pretty much the same reasons. It's unnecessary and pointless.
I somewhat disagree. There is plenty about war that is actually quite interesting, it's just that all you get to hear about wars these days are insurgents, terrorism and Syria trying to start something with Turkey for some foolish reason.
I've been suffering with one for the past few days and it's not nice at all. Chicken soup is on the cards for lunch.
I totally get why it's important and newsworthy and I'm not arguing that it shouldn't be reported. I just found it rather amusing but also strangely poignant that with all the stuff going on in the world today, the one thing BBC readers are most interested in is an article headlined "Mars rover finds 'unusual rock'".
You got a point Juicy Bob and I agree with you there. I find foreign politics/conflicts and stuff like that very fascinating and sometimes I can spent all night with people talking about it. And I mean thoughtful constructive conversations based on history and fact. Not stupid meaningless rantings like "yea! fuck those [insert relevant political party here]" or "Get 'em immigrants out! stealin' our jobs!" Although, I don't think Kentpaul's opinion is wrong here either. Space exploration (or any other uncovering/accomplishment whether it's on Earth or not) is new and fresh and it's not surprising that people prefer to read about a rock on Mars instead of an on-going political problem that hasn't been resolved in more than 50 years. I'd rather see that Mars article at number 1 instead of BS celebrity news like Jodie Marsh getting corrective face surgery.

That's the great thing about opinions, they're yours to have and no one is wrong or right!
There are some really nasty virus' going about at the moment. You know I'm hardly ever sick, and if I am it's never for very long. Well I've had this bastard since last Wednesday, and even though I'm now getting better it's still hanging on. Hope you feel better soon dude!
Btw you haven't responded in the meet up thread, you coming to this one?
You're confusing the terms "guilty of" and "the genius inventor of".
Popping to the shop now.

I do something similar with the big glass jars of hotdogs in brine and a jar of mayonnaise.

Rachel. Hannah looked so flawless that she almost looks airbrushed, it's weird. Hannah was cute though.
Damn Lirlond, you're the man. Might try it with those little Mikado things too.
Rachel, although I concede that Hannah would be far, far better in the sack.
Mikado would snap before they'd scoop any Nutella, I reckon.
