arctic monkeys at ibiza rocks

It’s only fair to Dawn & Andy that i put up a piccy of the present we were given at the end of last year by them (after missing out on the butterfly ball auction posters)

An Arctic Monkeys signed Ibiza Rocks poster – we said we’d get it framed and promised not to flog it on e-bay!

Thanks 🙂

Looking forward to another great year of live music

“movin’ out”

it’s highly likely that shortly i’ll be following billy joel but still carrying on this inane stream of counciousness rubbish but in my own “house” so to speak – (the url will be pretty obvious so if you find it ignore it as a work in progress)

we’ll see what happens – its early days

spam email of the day

maybe i will start doing a regular thing of this:

We are offering a JOB with a salary starting from $6 up to $10 per month.
Only for Canadians.
Requirements:
You need to have at least one bank account in Canada.
visit us at
http://www.piss_off_no_link_from_me.com

Thank you.

i bit and followed the link just to see what neanderthals would see – it went straight to a phpbb message board and one post that started:

OK! I’ll get right to the point. I have large amount of funds on numerous bank accounts which needs to be laundered. I need your help to do that. You’ll get 10% of each transaction coming into your bank account.

i suppose everyone is getting bored with the nigerian 10 million dollar crap

(like anyone would post on a public site they need money laundered…)

i suppose some people may fall for it… ejits

is it me or is there something wrong with the maths here

Sir Paul McCartney’s forthcoming gig at Liverpool FC’s stadium Anfield was recently under threat of cancellation, it has emerged.

Liverpool City Council had to give McCartney Productions Limited £1.7million to prevent the cancellation. The money will pay for production costs and essentials such as insurance – no profits will be made by either McCartney or the football club.

and then:

Around 25,000 tickets for the June 1 show were already sold last year, with a possible further 11,000 to be released, reports BBC News.

the gig is part of liverpool’s year of being “European Capital Of Culture.”

now i’m sorry but i cannot for the life of me figure out why it would cost 1.7 million quid to put on a gig in addition to the income from ticket sales and merchandise (min face value is 35ukp) = minimum 1,225,000 quid

so conservative estimate for the gig costs (bearing in mind that “no profits will be made by either McCartney or the football club.”) is at least a cool 3 million quid for a one off gig

unless there’s something i’m missing, methinks the sums dont add up – somethings rotten in denmark…

spam phone calls

over the past week or so ive been getting numerous calls from movistar, i’m assuming to sell me something

some related facts: ?

i’m on vodafone

i had to give telefonica my mobile number twice in relation to our adsl going down

telefonica are in bed with movistar

i just go “los siento no habla espanol, sorry what do you want”

and they generally repeat that i dont speak spanish, the line goes quiet and i hang up

email spam is one thing but i hate mobile phones enough as it is without companies bloody ringing me unsolicited – in a language i dont fully understand!

aqualia – ie the local water company

bastards – in a word
the culprits for the building and local buildings having no water is in the photo

one thing i have to do in the morning is have my cup of tea while i go through the mornings email and rss feeds etc – the fact i had to go out of the flat and face the day to get some water so i could fill the kettle has meant the day has started very badly – that and a hangover doesn’t help…

Oh well – Fleetwood Mac

i knew it would come to me in the end (relaying on from the 3 posts or so below)

with apologies to peter green 🙂

I cant help about the shape Im in
I cant sing, I aint pretty and my legs are thin
But dont ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to

“i’ve a bone to pick with you”

“you always do”

“but you like it really”

“no i dont..”

i hate that shit

today

it was decided that the ton of ethernet cable that snakes the balcony is probably not good for our heath – i set up the free wifi and the webcam in the winter when we dont bother with the balcony – now the balcony is becoming an option i got the “hint” that i should sort it out

so i got paid from someone today and decided to do something about it – down to the ferreteria, i got everything you would ever need – i sorted it all, got electrocuted a couple of times (as you do) and then finally went to finish it and realised we dont actually have a f.. (i could swear here) hammer

ok – this sounds like have a beer time – so, on the basis that i could easily go and have a beer or 4 and do f**k all i went and had a beer with a friend then went back out went to the ferreteria when they opened again (if you dont live in spain you realise that everything shuts between 1.30 & 4.30)

then i go back on the balcony to sort out the cabling, cable stripping, chuck blocks etc and its probably the hotest day of the year so far – where’d that come from?

i’m in a jumper and jeans and suddendly i’m thinking the shorts and tshirt should come out

the good thing was that it was all done and we then went to play pool – as you do

theres a lyric i heard this afternoon which i really wish i could remember what it was because i could be really sarcastic to someone (i know the band and the track but cant remember it) – but i guess thats life and i’m not meant to say it
