Subject: Life on the ocean wave.
Julian Clary:
Years ago, a life on the ocean wave was all the rage, if you hung around Portsmouth then you would have found the streets to be full of discharged seamen…

Gah! My mobile handset (bought from Paul about 2 years ago, possibly 3) has finally died; it’s plugged into the charger and keeps trying to turn itself on, beeping, and giving up. It can’t turn on because it hasn’t got enough power in the battery yet, but it won’t stop trying to turn on, thus wasting all the charge that it’s gaining. Fun.
So, time to contact Orange for a new handset, but it means I’ve lost all my old numbers and am not contactable by personal phone. So I might be collecting them of people when I get a new phone.
In the meantime, I’ll put a friends only screened post up with work number and email for those that care.
Been planning to replace the thing for the last year. Ah well…
Well, it’s another bank holiday. Which means when taking my lunch break, buying a newspaper was hard work, getting lunch in an open cafe harder, and everyone wants me to eat crappy milk chocolate bollocks. Thanksfully, my parents, knowing me well, sent in to work via my sister a Green & Blacks dark chocolate egg 
Oh, and I went to Somerfield last night and bought 4 bars of their white chocolate, which is absoletely great. If, like me, you were put off white chocolate for life by that Milky Bar Kid, but you like chocolate, do yourself a favour and try this stuff. Suitable for vegetarians but not vegans; I bought some Maya Gold to go alongside it anyway
I like that my job means I work bank holidays and take the day off when I want it. I hate that it’s pretty much impossible to get normal services in the pokey small town I work in (the place of my birth). I really need to look more at the Exeter jobs available…

Mike, time to be buying one of those plug into the wall radio things old bean. I’d recommend a clock/alarm myself. You may even want to one-up me and get a DAB radio. Or a portable of some sort.
But, anyway. Great radio.

1. Total amount of music files on your computer?
Zero. That was easy wasn’t it? Not got broadband, and have a perfectly good CD player thank you. Plus, the PC is so crap that playing music would likely stop it from working.
2. The last cd you bought was…
Actually, Franz Ferdinand’s album. Before that it was the Bauhaus live album “Gotham”.
3. What was the last song you listened to before reading this message?
By choice? Guns n Roses Civil War, one of the few of theirs left I still like, and it was stuck in my head.
4. Write down five songs you often listen to or mean a lot to you.
1. The Pogues “Fiesta” (long term association)
2. Jane’s Addiction “Been caught stealing” (let’s here it for that first time…)
3. Nine Inch Nails “Wish” (first days of my best days…)
4. Lou Reed “Perfect Day”; blame Trainspotting, but it’s an awesome song
5. Therapy? “Nowhere” (just because)
5. What new music are you really excited for in the coming year so far?
I’m not really, I’ll likely get told if something good comes out but, meh, I’m an old git these days.
6. What 5 people are you going to pass this baton to and why?
Meh, I dunno; some people less apathetic than me I guess.
So, undecided at the moment as to whether to travel to London for Synthetic Culture next weekend (Fri 18th).
Should I go? If so, Mark, are you going? How you planning to travel?
In other news, I had a grotty cold all weekend so spent the whole time in bed reading books and watching DVDs. The entire directors commentary for all the extended Lord of the Rings Films, Pirates of the Caribbean, Disk 1&2 of Series 1 of Dark Angel, an Iain M Banks book, Asimov’s Foundation trilogy (no idea why I had to pick it back up again) and some other cool stuff.
Still feel grotty, but not enough to justify skiving off work again. I demand sympathy cos I’m a bloke and it’s just a head cold really.
