There's a place that keeps on calling me

For over 3 years I struggled to find a gig where I could try and establish a reputation for credible music.

In late 2002 I started in Enigma and enjoyed playing credible 'funky house' music each Saturday night, and the place has grown from strength to strength.

3 years later, in 2005, my residency is still going strong. Tonight, Easter Sunday, on my 'Cheezy Pop' night, I played the 'Littlest Hobo Theme' as my second last song, and i've never seen a song go down so well... I give up !!

Passed My Theory

I passed my theory and hazard perception test yesterday. All that stands between me and a full driving license is the small matter of the practical test.

Enigma was pretty packed last night for a thursday.

We are going to The Corinthian for dinner tonight - which should be nice :-)

I've just finished writing my letter of resignation for the Co-op. My new jobs starts on 30th April

Show Me The Way To #1

Amarillo went #1 today, just like I thought it would.

Been on holiday from the co-op today and had an appointment with 'another leading opticians' where I should've went in the first place.

All being well my two new pairs of spectacles should be ready for collection inside 3 weeks.

I've got one extra gig on Thursday this week in Enigma because of the Easter weekend.

Not one bid on my Ebay listing as yet - and there's only 2Days 22 Hours to go... :-(

Sharp GX10i Mobile Phone

This Sharp GX10i Mobile on Ebay looks a great buy - I would bid for it if I were you !

On another (musical) note - Show Me The Way To Amarillo looks set to go to #1 this Sunday.

Not so sure about the 'Club Mix' though :-S

Should've Went To SpecSavers

Just back from another busy weekend in Enigma. Saturday was 2 in- 2 out from half ten - tonight had a good crowd.


After 5 weeks, I finally got my refund from Vision Express. I wrote them a letter which I will post in the comments section after this post - I feel its a bit too big to put here.

I'll be sure to post my reply here also - I bet you can't wait ! :-)

Does anyone actually read this? . . The hit counter seems to suggest so. Does it matter ? Are these questions rhetorical, shall I stop now ? . .. YES !

Pass : That's The Theory !

I've just booked my theory test for 2 weeks today at 10:30am. I don't foresee passing it being a problem - just so long as they don't throw up too many obscure questions about trams.

My Kameleon remote control arrived today and it does the the job nicely.

I'm almost certainly going to take the Lloyds TSB job.


I was determined not to make this weblog into a series of innate ramblings, which is what this post is turning into. So i'll stop now as, really, I've got fuck all to say.

Lloyds TSB JOB - Got it.

They phoned to offer me the job 10 minutes after the interview.

I'm not sure if the hours suit as it's 9 til 5 Saturday and Sunday.

I told them 'yes' for the time being. That's two jobs i've got now. :-)

Lloyds TSB Interview

I have my interview with Lloyds TSB tomorrow morning at 9am. I've just finished filling in the book that was the application form.

It asked me everything, including, and I kid you not, my 'sexual orientation'.

All that lies between me and the job is a 45 minute competency based interview, which, if the one at RBS is anything to go by, will be a piss in the park.

Interviewer: Can you describe an occasion when you had to deal with an angry or aggressive person ? And how did you deal with that ?

Me: Well... blah blah de fuckin' blah.

Interviewer: Excellent, I think that concludes our interview. When can you start ?

My Kameleon 6 in 1 remote control should hopefully arrive tomorrow. That is, if I'm back home from the interview and not still sitting in an office spouting bullshit when it arrives.

Then into uni for an afternoon of Karl Marx and coffee - and not necessarily in that order.

BPI: You’ve Been Nicked

Downloading songs from Emule, Kazzaa, Limewire and the like is begining to worry me that little bit more now. Each week seems to bring another bundle of scare stories. As reported on Slyck, this time it's the UK, with one 'victim' living in Glasgow.

Fortunately for me, I only download uncopyrighted content ;-)

23 of the 26 British file sharers who were accused of sharing copyright music works last October have made out of court agreements with the music industry. The average settlement is £2,000 ($3,800). The victims consist of six women and seventeen men, some paying on behalf of their children. The number of files they were sharing ranged from hundreds to "many thousands".

Every night i've been hugging my pillow

It seems there's a bit of a Tony Christie revival at the moment.

Show Me The Way To Amarillo is one of my most requested songs recently.

I think it's something to do with Comic Relief. I could be wrong, but I think it's getting re-released.

Is this the way to Amarillo?
Every night ive been hugging my pillow
Dreaming dreams of Amarillo
And sweet Marie who waits for me
Show me the way to Amarillo
Ive been weeping like a willow
Crying over Amarillo
And sweet Marie who waits for me

Top Of My Box : March

Current favourites that are played each weekend:

Ma Spex

After 4 weeks of waiting and paying nearly £500, I found out today that one of my two pairs of new glasses were ready for collection from Vision Express.

I went to collect them today and now I can't see a thing. They've mucked up the lenses!

I shall endevour therefore to return tomorrow to kick someone's cunt in, and get a refund on both pairs.

"should have gone to SpecSavers" -o^o-

The Trial Continues

Another Interview

I have another interview lined up for next Wednesday, this time with Lloyds TSB telephone banking. Just don't think that I could stick the co-op until the end of May to hold out for the RBS job.

Still, i'll see what happens...

My Hit counter is up and running.
