1:05 pm	We WON! My god.... I can't quite believe what's just happened... I decided to watch the announcement of the venue of the 2012 olympic games, fully expecting France to get it, but I nearly fell over when they said "London" I'm not exactly a huge olympic fan, but I am very patriotic, and even more than that, we beat the french!! I can see the irony of cracking a bottle of champagne now - but I sure feel like doing it now. the whole event's been bubbling away on the news for ages now, beach volleyball on Horseguard's Parade, Archery at Lord's etc etc, but it seemed very twee and with us always being galant in defeat (except wars, which we tend to win), it seemed like we'd be all saying what a good effort it was, but it was some one else's turn (we've had it twice already) - but no! It's ours.... to f**k up :-) (Comment on this)

7:12 pm	Glastonbury Madness How on earth did Coldplay get the headline act at Glastonbury when you had New Order and Brian Wilson there? the world's gone mad! You've got the most legendary act of the 80's and the man who wrote Pet Sounds coming lower in the ranks than a "very predictable songs" oriented band. Brian ended on Good Vibrations.... what a moment. (4 Comments |Comment on this)

9:53 am	Reality? Mundane More Like! Being out of work gives you the opportunity to watch daytime telly more than you've ever done before. But all that's on are shows that have:- people selling bric-a-brack at an auction people selling bric-a-brack at a car boot sale people buying bric-a-brack so they can bric-a-brack at an auction at a profit so they can do something very tacky with the proceeds People moving houses People doing up houses to sell so they can move People buying old houses to do up so they can sell them at a profit People buying an old house to do up to live in People enhancing their garden People surprising their friends by enhancing their garden in their absence People redecorating their friends rooms People giving a chef £5 worth of ingredients in order for them to cook a meal in 20 minutes People having their driving lessons video taped People competing to be "Britains worst...." just about anything. People with badly behaved children getting in a nanny to sort them out People with badly behaved children moving into a big house to sort them out Doing those things is dull enough, why on earth do we want to watch someone else do those things!!

11:07 am	Tiny Gardens It's weird how many people I see tending tiny gardens at this time of year. They are usually old men, widowers I'd assume as the little gardens are on top of graves. There's here now, got a hoe and rake ad has been at it for about an hour, yet it's just a tiny cremation plot, not even the full works. There is one bloke who just comes and stands next to a grave for ages, looking away most of the time too. I guess they are from a generation where they probably did stop together all their lives and once the old dear has passed on, they have a gaping hole in their lives to fill, so planting little pansies and trimming the grass verge around the plot with scissors fills part of the day. I wonder what it'll be like when we're all that age? I'd guess that there will be far more single people getting old then, either that or lots more people on wife/hubby 2, 3 or 4. That life long bond won't be so prevalent as it is now. Maybe living though the war gave people a different perspective on life? Maybe then, just staying alive was the only thing that you worried about, rather than the materialism and high achievement we're all pursuing today? Or maybe they really did want to split, but society placed such a taboo on the subject that it was frowned upon to even contemplate a divide. One thing for sure though, I bet the little gardens won't look so nice in 50 years time. (2 Comments |Comment on this)

7:13 pm	bad spelling if you read the 24hour news article, which is a very accurate piece of prose, then use your imagination on the spelling.... forgot to put it through a spell checker! (Comment on this)
6:13 pm	24 hour news..... it's been a busy week I guess. We're waiting for :- Tony Blair to call a general election Charles and Camilla to get married The Grand National to be run when the pope pops his clogs and Prince Ranier of monaco decides to die as well. Quite a lot for the news people talk about, and boy do they talk. Since I got freeview digital telly I often got to BBC 24 as it's the best news available - as in clever people talking rationally, not sesnsationalists on the scene ranting on and speculating. But even the BBC can kill you with it's increasing speculation. A typical event, say a bombin Basra, goes like this.... 1, initial reports..... correspondent on a bad line gtalking fast. 2, Clarification of details.... gradual process of gathering facts 3, press releases.... the nextr clarification if you will, someone taking blame etc. after that we get into the "we've no new news" phase..... 4, go to the reporter on the scene and has him what the "mood " is. 5, Academic comment.... wheel in an expert on the subject, probably one on iraqui politics, a muslim and a terrorism lecturer from coventry poly. They will talk at length on their research project subject. 6, repeat step 5 with other correspondents # 7, politicians get out of bed - they will argue the toss, labour defending Blair, tories against him and the lib dem's not really knowing what to say. and that goes on and on and on..... it happened when Calahagn died last week too.... the other thing I notice is a national trend to want to out do, or even out-mourn events. In the good old days we had stiff upper lips and things happened and we brits did not react. but in 1997 something happened taht would change that forever..... Diana died. you know the story... I'd got home from Shindig in newcastle and put the telly on to unwind and saw the first broadcast - she wasn't announced dead at this point. I went to sleep and in the morning there was no telly or radio to watch, all the footy and sport was cancelled.... the country ground to a halt. People were crying in the streets, a mountain of flowers grew outside her old house..... these people ahd never met her! She was attractive, yes. Decided to so some good things, yes... but I think we, as a nation should be thoroughly embarassed at how we acted over that. but that's not the end of it. It spawned the style of news broadcast above - it was our fault, our constant hunger to hear what every single D-List celebrity thought was fulfilled and we just asked for more, more, more... Another thing happened too. A word that I used to hold dear to my heart and prided on being the only one to really use it came into the public domain..... UNPRECEDENTED Means "without precident", or something similar to this hasn't happened before, so this must be a new benchmark. And this is where the "compare every event and make it look worse" mentality has come from. Ok, the planes crashing into the WTC was pretty UNPRECEDENTED.... Type UNPRECEDENTED into GOOGLE, go on.... There's over 16,000,000 hits! So - if you look over the major world events since 1997, you'll see a nation (Britian) begging for an excuse to have a good mourn (that iraqui hostage from Liverpool for instance) then for the 24 hour news to come along, potificate, ask what the "mood" is at the scene then finally to leble it "UNPRECEDENTED".

8:35 pm	Change the record.... As a laugh last year, Amerjit and I decided to put a profile up on a dating site called "match.com". You put in details and it matches you and your details to similarly minded females, so looked a good laugh. We shoved photos up and put pretty honest details in, and ever since I've been getting regular mails with my "matches". I've never bothered cnotacting any of these as you've got to pay and I'm not really on the prowl, but I do take a look at them, and sometimes read the blurb at the top - their profile. Without exception, every single female in the UK likes "watching TV with a glass of wine" or words to that effect (can add "cosy", "curling" or "warm" in there). A little bit predictable there girls. The other one is that they like a man "who can make me laugh"...... I find Bernard Manning hillarious, he must be a sex god in that case!! These are just observations I must add, I've never read the blokes ones, so they may be just are dull and predictable. though for a bloke the exact equivalents may well be.... "like nights in the pub with my mates and a shag when I get home" and "like girls with a nice arse/legs/norks" though no one would ever say that.... Ahhhhhh - see, even I get romantic on Valentine's day!! (Comment on this)

12:32 pm	The Leeds Pub Guide - By Ade and a few others The Pubs North Bar, Upper Briggate Criterion Comment Score/10 Beer Best selection of world beers in the city. Only usually have one real ale, though there’s always Guinness 10 Birds A complete mix, but there’s usually several amazing ones around, and the bar staff are usually pretty fit too. 8.5 Ambiance Cool – wear what you like, the odder the better. 9 Music Mid volume so you can talk, ranges from Count Bassey to hip hop – very random 7 Price As it’s all imported beer, you pay for it. Cheapest pint is about £2:50 4 For Top place, plenty to look at and loads of odd beers Against Pricey and we go there all the time Horse and Trumpet, Headrow Criterion Comment Score/10 Beer Selection of about 4 real ales in addition to all the usual ones – stella, Guinness etc. 9 Birds Most of them have beards and swear profusely, though you’ll get the odd tart in a Santa outfit 4 Ambiance Traditional Leeds boozer – no pretension, and if you say the wrong things you may get stared at 5 Music Has a juke box and a standard background tape. Hear reasonable stuff most times 5 Price Mid range – about £1:80 for Tetley’s and £2 for the real ales 7 For A lot of seats and beers, not too pricey Against Sometimes get scum bags in there and there’s not a lot of totty to see The Angel, Briggate Criterion Comment Score/10 Beer All Sam Smiths, the Stout is interesting… 6 Birds Studenty types in the arm chairs upstairs 6 Ambiance Old man downstairs, studenty and “younger professionals” upstairs. Quite acceptable all round 8 Music Radiohead is popular downstairs but more eclectic upstairs – even heard New Order once or twice 6 Price Dirt cheap - £1:26 for bitter and about £1:50 for lager. 10 For Cheap and cheerful Against Long way from first floor to basement toilets Whitelocks, Briggate Criterion Comment Score/10 Beer Selection of about 7 hand pulled beers and all the usual lagers 10 Birds Like the Angel, you get a mix of old dears and stunners, tend to get girls who drink pints of Old Peculiar there too 5 Ambiance Good traditional boozer, copper and brass everywhere and people are usually friendly and polite 9 Music None whatsoever 0 Price Mid range – about £1:80 to £2:20 for most ales 7 For It’s oldy worldy pub heaven Against A bit small around the bar and not a lot of girlies if you’re in perve mode Hogshead, Lower Briggate Criterion Comment Score/10 Beer About 3 guest ales at most 7 Birds Not too bad, slightly older crowd of secretaries out after work 6 Ambiance A bit non-existant sometimes, sort of place where people meet and get out of quickly 3 Music Commercial pop… 2 Price Teetering on the expensive, though not a rip off. 6 For Pretty big and has lots of plasma screens with Shakira and Holly bearing their midriffs on – handy if you’re lost for words Against A bit soul-less, only really a pit stop at the best of times The Bars Mook, Hirst’s Yard Criterion Comment Score/10 Beer Cocktails, Stella and bottles 5 Birds Some very nice ones, proper clubbing types with a few students thrown in 8 Ambiance Quite a cool place, live DJ playing music so you can’t really talk as a group. Good pre-club warm up more than anyting 6 Music House House House House 8 Price Definitely not cheap as there’s no cheap drinks on offer 4 For A decent bar if you’re getting to the end of your drinking tether Against No bitter worth drinking and no conversation allowed Café Inseine, Duncan St./Central St. Criterion Comment Score/10 Beer The usual tap beers and lager. Frequented mainly for the cheap vodka-red-bull you can get there. Was £2 for a double last time. 4 Birds Hit and miss, there may well be a party upstairs that is rammed full of it, or it could be empty! 5 Ambiance Another pit stop pub 3 Music Loud house and that kind of R’n’B stuff 6 Price Cheap redbull drinks, but the rest is a bit pricey 5 For Cheap redbull Against Everything else Norman, Call Lane Criterion Comment Score/10 Beer A bit like North Bar, it’s got Erdinger and loads of foreign lagers, good for the more adventurous 9 Birds They tend to flock here wearing very little 9 Ambiance Frighteningly cool sometimes, tepid others. It’s a place to be seen in – usually no hassle 8 Music Music is definitely 100000 miles away from being commercial 7 Price Again, you’ll just about get 3 pints for a tenner, though they will be imported and usually nice 4 For A “to be seen in” bar with nice beers Against Can be pretentious and pricey, and sometimes really packed and there could be a queue Oporto, Call Lane Criterion Comment Score/10 Beer Stuff like San Miguel, Erdinger and Stella on tap, and very nice cocktails and shorts available 9 Birds Yes… Usually the more discerning ones in there too 9 Ambiance Quite packed in the bar area and very little room away from there, though usually find somewhere to stand. Pretty lavish and opulent crowd 5 Music The kind of music you wish you had in your collection – from the Beatles to Norman Cook, stopping off with the Stone Roses and the Prodigy… 10 Price Premium but not a rip off – about £2:50 for normal stuff, more for posh` 5 For A “to be seen in” bar with nice beers like Norman, but decked out a bit better. Against Can get crammed and you’ll never get a seat Milo’s, Call Lane Criterion Comment Score/10 Beer A lager bar, they have the usuals plus Hoegaarden and Bud on draught 9 Birds Yup, plenty of those, the cooler variety too 9 Ambiance Definitely a cool bar, with a more soulful edge 7 Music A soulful bar sometimes, a housey one others – often a live DJ 7 Price Same as most the bars around there, bout a tenner for 4 beers, but more if you’re getting Hoegaarden 4 For The décor and ceiling and unique, and always got a bunch of painfully cool people to push through to the bar Against Pricey, packed and a long walk up the stairs for the loo – an no one uses the loo for it original purpose…. Pitcher and Piano, Corn Exchange Criterion Comment Score/10 Beer Think they do about 3 hand pulled beers and the usual lagers, though nothing special – beware they give out double spririts as defaults, you have to ask for a single – money grabbing bastards. 5 Birds Quite a lot of the Cocktail party brigade here, lots of them in party outfits rather than being cool so more chatty than a lot of places 9 Ambiance Sometimes a little like a Rugby boys night out 4 Music Varies though usually dance oriented 5 Price Outlandish really – premium prices for ordinary drinks 2 For Full of richer birds who ain’t cool enough for Norman’s and Milo’s Against Quite public School in attitude and a rip off in general Town house, Corn Exchange Criterion Comment Score/10 Beer Seem to remember there being Boddies, Hoegaarden and the usual cooking and premium lagers. Their spirit and cocktail selection is excellent if you’re beered out 9 Birds There’s 3 floors, the middle on tends to have most cause they dance a lot. There’s usually a lot on all 3 though 8 Ambiance It’s one of the “new leeds” places where the moneyed riverside dwellers go to show off their new rolex’s. If yo get a decent spot though, it’s not a bad place at all 5 Music Dance mainly, though varies from floor to floor – the middle one gets funky. 7 Price Not cheap at all, though it’s not a rip off as most drinks are good in there 5 For 3 floors to pick from, good bar and lots of the Beautiful People to look at Against The door policy is notorious, look at the bouncers incorrectly and you’ll never get in. they do not discuss their policy Fudge, Corn Exchange Criterion Comment Score/10 Beer Tap beers, the usual, Konenburg is usually winner 6 Birds One of the best places in town really, depending on the night, you may find your jaw hitting the ground several times. Short skirts rule there 9.5 Ambiance Pre club and loud usually, 3 arches so plenty of room. Proper party atmosphere most nights 7 Music Usually very loud house music – limits conversation to the person next to you most nights! 7 Price Almost ridiculous, but about £2:70 for Kronenburg 3 For 3 arches gives you 3 areas to mix it up in. Definitely a place for eye candy and a boogy if you’re that way inclined Against Pricey, hot and packed most weekends DV8 Criterion Comment Score/10 Beer Shite and over priced 1 Birds The give you a lap dance for £10, and there’s a free show on the stage every now and then. Some absolute beauties, some just off their peak, but you get to choose and they always say yes! 10 Ambiance Seedy, giggly men on leaving and stag parties! 5 Music Who cares… longer songs are better cause you get a longer dance 2 Price About £5 to get in, £10 a dance and hugely over-priced ales 2 For Lap dances Against Everything else.

12:21 am	Whatever happened to..... ...Portishead? Bit late to be asking this qestion I guess, but the bottom line is that they were a revelation in the early-2-mid 90's then disappeared off the scene never to be seen again. I guess they found something to do with their cash maybe? But anyway, I think it's pretty hard on the world to produce a masterpiece of a debut album such as "Dummy", follow it up with a darker relative such as the self titled "Portishead", and then just f**k off..... In fact, if you think of all the great, truely great, albums ever, they seem to be at least the third or forth album that the artist produced. Pet sounds..... Sgt. Pepper.... OK Computer.... Dark side of the moon..... Thriller..... etc. etc. etc. Dummey was a debut..... I rate Dummy up there and it was a revelation at the time. We had happy hardore and rave, the madchester stuff and the embrio of brit pop gestating in Blur, oasis and pulp..... but we get this bizzare, tortured, angst ridden, melodic, beautiful, inventive and ultimately, unique, sound coming from Bristol. I'm gutted they didn't get past 2 albums bastards ...... Oh, I guess Blue Lines by fellow bristol band Massive Attack falls into the same "first album masterpiece" category. but they carried on (Comment on this)

10:22 pm	Bez Wins! I very rarely wathc the celebrity version of Big Brother - it's usually C list celebs needing a career boost, which is a complete turnoff to me. But this time I saw these names and thought I'd pay attention.... Germaine Greer John McRerrick Bez The rest are just there for the career despite the number of times they say they want to have "the experience". Germaine had no need to go in, she's the best known living feminist and is constatly on telly and has a professorship to boot. John is a disagreeable racing pundit - but I like his controversy on normal shows, so this looked like fun. Then there was Bez. Last I heard of him was a night in Leeds called Basics where he was DJing in room 2 - hardly high profile. To those of you not in the know, Bez was the clown of the Madchester scene in my early clubbing days. He was basically a bloke who'd lived in the Hacienda in Manchester since it opened, discovered Ecstacy in 1988 and distributed it around the club later in 1989 when Mike Pickering had conincidentally discovered this wierd music called "Acid House". Lots of beeps and squelches, very popular in the gay clubs in Chicago but was there a market in the UK? Well Bez was probably one of dozens selling the stuff in the Hac, the place erupted and house built up to the biggest underground movement in the UK. Meanwhile, Shaun Ryder had a band called the Happy Mondays who were based in Manchester and used to play at Boardwalk and the Hac regularly. Bez being off his tits on a "dove" would constantly climb on stage and demonstrate his little "E Dance". He kpet getting dragged off by the bouncers, till at one gig Shaun decided that he looked the part and told the bouncers to let him stay on the stage. The crazy dance moved on - he was given some maraccas - and the legend was born. Everyone who was at university, or had recently graduated in the early 90's knew of him, a kind of anti-hero with no discernable talent, no intelligence and probably did more drugs in one day than most do in a life time. So to hear that this guy as actually won a public vote on a TV show is amazing. I guess it would indicate that there's an awful lot of 30somethings watching the show, and they are the ones who vote. A bit like it a lot of 14 year olds who buy singles and make the current pop chart suck so bad. So there hope for us all. Bez had my vote from the start. The 60's had icons like Any Warhole hanging onto bands like the Velvet Underground - we had Bez and the Mondays. Keeping it real!

10:56 am	Merry Xmas Everyone! That time of year again - time to overspend, over eat, over drink and probably make an ass out of yourself at some point. Here's a festive thingy from Leeds... I'm probably unique in for the second time in 2 years I'll also be celebrating loosing my job. Yes, another year of updating my CV and getting stressed about spending and all money things. Probably even more unique is that I was told about the job loss on the same date 2 years apart! Yes, December the 17th is officially "You're out" day. This time the blow was softened by the fact that the whole office has closed, nothing personal. So last year my dad was made redundant, then mum's been made redundant at the afe of 59 an had to find a job to see her into retirement, my brother's factory has told him that there's 140 redundancies in the new year and he's pretty sure he'll be off too!!! Not the best year for the wilson clan I guess.... and we all worked for American companies. Maybe this dollar plummeting thing is a bad thing after all? I get cheaper books on Amazon because of it (which is nice) but to all lose jobs within a year of each other! Here's another thing from Leeds I'm not in a mad panic this time for 2 reasons.... 1 - We are probably going to get 3 months pay plus a month for every year I was there. So that's cash for a while inn the bag 2 - The IT market in Leeds is far more flush than 2002. A huge part of me wants to change career - just imagineing doing something I like, music or photography, makes me wonder if this is the time to do it. Take the money and run - get set up and see if I can make ends meet. But that £600 for the house has to be paid, I quite like a pricey social life and if the cats get ill they ain't cheap. So looks like IT for a while longer at least. I'm just fed up of learning a skill only for Bill Gates to introduce a newer version, then you have to learn it ALL again! I like problem solving, thinking things up to get the job done - not constantly reading through text books and having to learn how to invent the wheel in a different way. But that's the lot of we PC developers - I think the mainframe people have it easier in that respect - the things never change! Just the business requirements. ANyway - here's Leeds Town Hall and some more lights Merry xmas (1 Comment |Comment on this)

9:02 pm	Waste of life Bloody computers you buy a new DVD writer and you'd have thought that you'd just shove it on the machine and it'd just record for you.... NOt too much to ask surely?? Well I've been battling away with if for feckin hours - got through about 10 bland DVD's that's managed to fuck up good and proper... not cheap either. Still, just got a flat LCD monitor and it seems fine, was on and running satraight away - at the right resolution too! Anything to do with hard drives and CD writers is a ball ache - it's offical. I'm off or a Rochfort. That's 9.3% and will do the trick (2 Comments |Comment on this)

10:47 am	Deep and Crisp and Even My god it was cold this morning, the first real frost of the autumn. It was a rare dry cold as well. There's something different about the cold we get in the UK and that they get in continental europe. For some reason, freezing here seems colder than -10 in Brussles. It's not of course - you put a cup of water out in Warsaw for and it'd be solid far quicker than one in london, but your bones, you nose your head and ears will all ache an groan far more in the UK. I've never really known why this is till I was speaking to some Finnish people in Brussles. They were used to the cold but said that the moisture we get in the UK makes you more prone to colds etc, and that moisture is from the good old Gluf Stream. I'm not complaining, you get back from the states loads quicker than when you go out cause of it, and we are, in general, a bit warmer then most places in winter, and cooler in summer because of it. Around Cork and the west of Ireland they even have palm trees cause of it. It's what makes the UK an interesting place to talk about the weather..... if that's not an oxymoron....? But next time you're shivering, looking at glistening frosted grass and wondering when that cold will finally abate, you'll know where it came from. (Comment on this)

11:39 pm	4 weddings and a funeral Just finished watching it. Great film, one of the best brit flicks of the 90's even if it did let "Wet Wet Wet" get to tnumber one for 15 weeks with the theme song! Just a bit frustrating that it portrays all English people as extremly wealthy, under worked and foppish toffs. I pity people who come over as tourists an end up in Beeston or Moss Side fully expecting everyone to be so terribly nice as Hugh Grant. I think Beeston and Faluja have a lot in common at the mo. Well I don't want to go to either, though my bus goes Beeston way I guess!!! The other thing is that it assumes that everyone wants to get married.... Hmmm. There's that group of frightfully decent single people all wanting to get hitched and live happily ever after. I'll be my usual cynical self and say that assuming this of brits is also bollocks. In fact, there's more people getting divorced than getting married now, so I think Richard Curtis (wrote the screen play) had a fairly thick pair of rose tinted glasses on at the time. Still, some bloody good jokes in it, some brilliant awkward situations and of course the poignient funeral gives you pose for thought. But we brits are, on the whole overweight, inarticulate skinheads with just enough money for what ever drug we choose for our escapism (usually alcohol and ciggies), not posh, floppy haired, ex-rugby playing poets who drink Bolly all day and have an estate to bring in their £100,000 a year spending mony. Just to set the record straight. Nighty night. (6 Comments |Comment on this)
1:15 pm	Top tip for sunday When you have to go shopping in the car, don't bother fighting for a space near the shop entrance, but park next to a trolly bay. That way you don't have to carry your bags anywhere or have to traipse back miles with yourt trolly Made my life a lot easier when I realised that! (Comment on this)
