I'm sure they are all very nice but...

I bottled out of another Efests meet at the weekend. In the end, the thought of walking into a pub full of people i didn't know who had been drinking for 6 hours already did not seem like a good thing to do, especially after we lost 8-0, and so i went back home and unexpectedly turned up at my mates Halloween party (where the family were) to find i was the only one not in fancy dress. I may have been better off going to the meet (although it did mean i was ok to study for an exam sunday morning, not that i did much)

Not turning up did allow me to indulge again our family obsession - Strictly Come Dancing!!! As a father of two girls, it is dancing pursuits rather than football ones that consume them, and we've already been to Blackpool 3 times this year for them to compete in national competitions. It's a very odd thing for me to be interested in for sure, but it IS a great family show. It's lovely to have TV we can all enjoy on a Saturday, along with Robin Hood now and latterly Doctor Who.

2nd Latitude (www.myspace.com/latitudeattheglobe) this friday and already i have about 2 hours too much material i simply MUST play. It will be a cruel cull come the night. The crowd is quite young, but I'm definitely not sticking to the Boy Kill Boy/Killers axis and certainly NO Razorlight. I might not play Chas & dave this time though :ph34r:

Shame you didn't come :) but I wanted to say thanks for the map you drew to the car park :)

That map helped me get there with very little confusion :)

Maybe i'll see you at the next one so I can buy u a drink to say thanks :)

:) Glad it came in useful! It was the Golden Arches that really helped wasn't it?!

In the end i felt too quiet to come. I prefer a pint, a sit down and a conversation (even somebody else's!) and I suspect by 6pm things had probably progessed too far for that! Plus, I'm a bit on the shy side. Next one, book a room and I'll DJ it and I'll be perfectly happy in the corner on me own!

Yes the golden arches helped a lot :) ...when I saw Mcdonalds I got all excited cause I knew I must be near :)

The rest of the map was good too....think Bigtongue had a copy of it with him when we went out in case we got lost :)

I was really nervous too because I didn't really know anyone...that soon faded after a couple of drinks :)
