Tescos doesn't pay for music. They have originally created music for the shops

Well that means they do pay for it, they just don't pay IMRO. Maybe some of us could get work writing pop songs for Tesco

merge it with the 'you know youre getting old' thread for some grim mortality laughs

I hurt my nose in the shower the other day. When vigorously scrubbing my face with soap I managed to shove my little finger into my nostril and it fucking hurt.

I managed to cut both my wrists on with my big toenails recently when doing some exercise. I felt really fucking stupid.

doing all the recycling for the binmen tomorrow and the amount of cardboard boxes ive had to strip the packing tape off is infuriating. surely at this day and age there is a recyclable tape. 20 minutes of my life and it wont stop the apocolypse.

I'd quite enjoy that, there is a skill to it.

Brushing teeth and you accidentally bash the toothbrush head on collision into the gums.

not doing that again

Midnight upstairs-in-Whelan's right? Were there many at it? They're too late for me to go to, always wondered would it be worth playing one

They pay money, so that's good.

it's fuckin freezing lads

they pay enough to cover taxis for two bands to/from - ish
its not amazing but its something. also the engineer and organiser were both lovely and accommodating.
i remember years ago that Morrissey look-alike Noel was the engineer and i don't think he liked the job very much and he wasn't very nice to people. at least theyve moved on from that. sound is always decent up there as well.

there was for Crowhammer before us. i think most people had either left or just stayed in the smoking section for ourselves. wasn't busy but it was fun and so much less pressure than our first gig / launch over a month ago. if youre guaranteed a decent crowd and dont mind having to load out down the stairs into the chaos of wexford street at 0200ish its great.

if youre guaranteed a decent crowd

Alas, we are not. A decent crowd coming to a gig a few times a year is kinda all I want from the band at this stage of my life, but it's as out of reach as any of the loftier ambitions I had 20 years ago

 

[ann post]

What is a realistic ambition

 

[Anthony]

Very hard to get a crowd up there for those late gigs. Hard to compete with the bar and the smoking area.

2 weeks ago, I got run off the road (going over a train track) and had to get a new tire.
Last week my alternator went when I was on the M50. Pissing rain and everything electrical shut down in the space of about 30 seconds. It was not a fun experience.
On the way to a doctors appointment today and I must have driven over a construction sites worth of nails because that’s fucked now too. By the time I found somewhere safe to pull over the tyre was past saving.
My car might be jinxed.

Now that I think about it, I get the tyres from a guy that sells them at the side of a graveyard. That might not be a good sign.
