I was a founder member of a function band (I left when it got a bit too much with 2 small kids and gigs every weekend). They can go out with the full line up including horn section, or will do a smaller group. Matt Brown is the drummer and the main man to chat to. Details herehttp://www.baregroove.com/

I watched "Jesus Camp" on Netflix last night (see link below). Some of the stuff going on in there is way past the line of child abuse in my book. Also desperately worrying how deeply entrenched in American politics and law this evangelical mentalness is. https://vimeo.com/33740057

The Hollywood East, bt Penge East station is about as shit as it gets.

Well hopefully a ban will come. Progress has been made with a couple of bans. Slow progress admittedly.

If any matador is killed in a bull fight, then tough. He knows the risks, the odds are stacked in his favour and he's making money out of it. Spectators perhaps shouldn't be there spectating, but I wouldn't wish them any physical harm. Bull runs are a bit different, but they are bloody dangerous and if you want to get in the thick of it in an act of bravado, then you are taking a stupid risk IMO.

Going back to Jan's daily mash post, I love the bit ?It?s like I?ve been very, very slowly barred from my pub by the process of making it even more unbearable than spending the night at home.? And do sometimes feel that way, but that has little to do with kids and more to do with prices and what the majority like doing (eating rather than boozing).

Took my kids to the pub yesterday to meet a friend for lunch. Would much rather they hadn't been there, but it was that or not meet friend (who I'd not seen in an age). As it was we sat in the garden and if they got too close to someone else's table I called them back to me. So if anyone had tutted / complained I'd have told them to jog on as I was being considerate. Had I studiously ignored what they were doing and let them run around other people's tables, then people would have had every right to consider me a selfish cunt.

Hmm, I could do with a 5/6 year old tele for the kid's room...

And by "orgasm free", are we including solo efforts or sticking to bunk ups with partners? I don't actually believe for a second that you have ever lacked the bottle to start anything!

Yeah I was going to say never meet your idols. My first thought was Keith Richards, but I reckon I'd walk away thinking "what a cunt".

Animals get their own back.

Pah

That is a tune.

Just seen that ASDA are going to 28p a litre. But still 2-4p less than farmers reckon it costs to produce.

No, we either keep up with modern music or we stop at a certain point and stick with what we like. Or a bit of both. I am miles out of touch with new music. And once upon a time I was a finger on the pulse regular gig goer kinda guy.

Anyone read "Go set a watchman"? Would be interested to compare notes.

I used to love Bubblegum in Deptford. Proper scuzzy indie club.

Arsenal fans must be pleased with the news that Wilshere will only be out a couple of weeks.

There may be. And in my opinion they would also be misguided. That doesn't mean I think what they did to the bull was in any way okay.
