Band of 2003: “‘It’s going to be a bit like having sex in front of your parents – you know, that moment when you’re a teenager and you’ve been having a wank with your eyes closed in your bedroom and you wake up and there’s suddenly a steaming mug of tea next to you?’ says Justin Hawkins, the wiry, hard-bitten lead singer of The Darkness, Britain’s most exciting rock band of 2003.”
Month: December 2003

In 12 seconds, 120 feet, and a few links (OK maybe not the last bit):
So what are you going to do today?
bookmark_borderMeant to say
Apologies for it being a little slow around here, I may also be missing from your comments boxes for the next few days, because:
- (Side) Project X is finishing up – cue last minute rush (no link as it’s a secret.. sshhhhh)
- Heating is slowly giving up the ghost again, radiators getting colder in proportion to the weather, will need to phone an engineer soon (once I’ve been paid for the above work)
- Site hosts screwing my account (still to be properly sorted – see below)
- My full-time job (I really must get rid of it, it keeps getting in the way)
- Return of the King tomorrow night.
- Work Christmas ‘do’ on Thursday night (here again, was good last year)
- Finish Christmas shopping on Friday (hahahaha.. more like ‘recover from hangover’)
- Start re-design of myowncdrom (you didn’t think I’d leave it like that, did you?)
- Carols by Candelight on Monday night
Phew.
Looking forward to Christmas Day this year especially as I’ll be working on Christmas Eve, which doesn’t feel right at all.

Are you allergic to Christmas?
“The festive season affects people in different ways. If, for example, the words ‘Christmas shopping’ bring you out in a cold sweat, or the sight of decorated tree before 21 December makes your brow furrow, you probably have a condition called ‘being male’.”
bookmark_borderUp and down
Seems like the site is back (or you wouldn’t be reading this).
Might disappear again but will be back once I sort out the ‘billing’ issue I’m having with my host – they sent a reminder I never received, and despite having two telephone numbers that I am contactable by didn’t think to phone either, instead they just yanked my site. Nice.
Ohh and it turns out that they “don’t call customers” as a policy. Why do they have my phone number then?
bookmark_borderWho's right?
Does Saddam deserve protection under the banner of ‘human rights’ when he has not given that chance to millions of Iraqis.
Discuss.
