If I'm Right I'm Right, If I'm Wrong Then I'm Still Right Cos I Coulda Been Wrong About Being Right

Quite A good week, starting to get very tired...spending alot of time sleeping..Monday - Up at perth from 9-6. Think i just went home after that and slept alot.Tuesday - Working all day, came in an hour late but stayed an hour later. An interesting situation developing in the FS department, as of tomorrow(monday) theyl have No full time staff, and the boss in on holiday, plus a new guy starting on wednesday(who wont have a clue what to do) I cant work this week, so its all up to ben!Wednesday - Surgery Day.. Id been hearing horror stories all week about how id be crippled for days after Nail surgery. It is one of the weirdest experiences iv had. i could see the surgeon cutting away at my toe nail, vigorously poking a metal toothpick type thing(similar to what dentists use)into the inside of my toe.. but i couldnt feel a thing. Very very surreal. Once the anaesthetic wore off, i felt a slight nip.. other than that its not hurt a bit. Bloody pussys.Thursday - This was a recovery day, apparently. Not that i needed it. Stayed in bed watching scrubs..i love that show. DMH practise at night..fun as usual.Friday - Blast Practise! good fun(actual fun)DMH at the tron that night, arrived at 530 for soundcheck(let the drinking begin) Discovered that the tron no longer do bulldozers ever. This, along with the staff and new managements attitudes and rudeness to us, its loyal customers has forced a COMPLETE BOYCOTT OF THE TRON(cept maybe wednesdays) Any suggestions on where else to go are welcome!I returned from the toilet to find the others on stage, asking for me to come to the stage. I had to quickly plug in, and as soon as i got a sound they started the song. I hadnt had time to 'compose myself' therfore fucked up the first note. I'v never been this pissed off during a set EVER, to the point where i wasnt making eye contact with anyone, or attempting to get into the music. To top this off i snapped a string midset, and used my powers of bassing to continue anyway. Whats the point in it?Also Dominic Diamonds band were playing.Went upstairs and met tubb(short hair well mad), leah and throughout that night met various other people. I got very drunk at rush, and left got a pizza and bus. Saturday - Concierge 12-6, im getting good at this minesweeper thing! Felt very rough indeed. Tempted to go out for saturday night cav, but hangover and temptation of a Chinese saw me staying in. Sunday - Blast@Scottish Drum Day! Converted Bruce from boy racer mobile into a 2 Seat Station wagon. Fit alot of gear in, but could still fit more as im sure next week will see. Drum Central had neglected to put us on the programme, and the fact that we were in a small room totally out of the way meant that none but our loyal fans got to see us. Still good fun, but couldve been fun in Edinburgh..The main exhibition room had at least 20 drum kits set up in it, each one being bashed to its full extent. The noise is unbearable, you cant distinguish one kit from the next, its just a fucking nightmare! some nice kits, but as im not a drummer, their all just drums to me. Some really amazing drummers playing tonight, but i couldnt stand being around drums for 10 hours, so left early.Next week - Going through to glasgow on thursday with billy liar to do an interview and a couple tracks at glasgow uni. Anyone up for a party do let us know, we will be staying. Also going through to Stirling for the weekend, party with all our many homies there. BOYCOTT THE TRON - DONT GIVE INTO THE SHITE
