In response to you last post in my journal, conveniently ignoring this post, if you're saving that much money, why not buy in a bride from Thailand?

Move back? So you lived here in the first place and decided to do no research on the hotness of the women before you moved to an island miles from the mainland? You only have yourself to blame.
Who really needs whale oil anyway? What does it do? Enable growth of a blowhole?
If you unbeach whales, there'll be more for chinese fisherman to harpoon.

Yes, I was wrong. I was also wrong to assume that it would be able to record onto videos even though it is a video cassette recorder.

They're still eyebrow shaped, just more. I have a thing about female eyebrows (and nice looking male ones).

Thought you might like to know that the problem with the vcr was that it thought today was the 1st of july so i did set it up right, it would just have taped it today instead of yesterday thanks to the stupid vcr which I was totally correct in critsising (although for the wrong reason but that was only because I didn't think it would be that stupid).

and what, i might ask, is wrong with pagan?
don't you "suspicious frown" me sir,
i might have to scowl terribly if you did!

i think paean/paian is lovely.

(i sound far too grumpy-curt in that... oh well.)

oh you still get a decent view about the back. It is small compared to other venues.

Outside:


View from balcony (seating section):



I couldn't really find a picture of the stage from the back (without people there) but I think this one probably gives you the best idea of what the view is like nearer the back:


the only problems I've found with standing at the back is the tall people in front. Usually I've only seen about 70% of the stage that way but my focus is usually on the singer and not the other band members (though its not good if you have a singer that loves to run around on stage)

Overall I'd say there is still a very decent view nearer the back.

I don't know what I'm going to do with myself over the 12 weeks til uni. I'll probably have no job and be in a town where I will know nobody! Still I can also go and play some computer games! Do you play computer games?

Brixton is not as bad and everyone believes it to be. Sure whilst standing in line outside you get (probable) druggies ask for spare tickets/buy your ticket/sell a ticket/fags/skunk etc etc but ignore them and you won't have any problems.

As you leave the underground at Brixton station go RIGHT and keep walking. The Academy in on the left/outside of the road (can't miss it).

Doors open about 7pm. Depending on how popular the band is there shouldn't be a problem. I usually like to get there for 7pm. The warm up band begins about 8pm-8.30/9pm then the main band follow straight afterwards.
I used to like going right to the front but due to the youth today (crushing and wankers) I prefer it nearer the back (closer to the bar too). Its a slight sloping floor so you get an ok at the back still.
As you go in they check bags btw. No food or weapons. Remember that

The beer is EXPENSIVE. About 2.95 for a plastic pint of.... you've guessed it- CARLING! The cloakroom is also expensive - 2 an item (none refunable) and the queue is usually VERY long. I don't bother with that.
Also if you wish to buy clothing (you can see it straight away as you go in) I suggest you buy before you enter and it gets packed afterwards and all items sell out quickly.

I've been to loads of concerts where we've seen people in all sorts of get ups (yep pinstrip suits too). Only the wankers would care about what you're wearing, others would just think you came straight from work and admire you for liking the same stuff they do.

Anything else I can tell you.... mmm. I dunno really. Think I've covered about 80% of it. Brixton Academy is a lovely place. Not too big, not too small and has beer! You'll enjoy it!

oh bands usually play for about 1 1/2. usually finishing about 11.30pm. The last train from Brixton is about 1am so you don't have to worry about that.

as an animal lover, i feel the need to advise you not to sacrifice the goat.

as an alternative, you can strip off all of your clothes, dance around in the sun like hippies do, and eat chocolate all day. it's a good day for it because the chocolate will probably get all melty and get all over you. some girls like that.

and if you get really into it, you can continue the dance all through the full moon. or, alternatively, you can get dressed up like a werewolf, meet up with some work colleagues, do a bit of shagging and regret it the next day. that's always fun during the full moon.

Thin clothes - yup. Works for me. But I feel like it's more than that somehow. I get friskier when there's more sun around, skantily clad women or no...

As for goat offerings, I'd recommend as an alternative perhaps a naked jaunt in a fine Jersey field with some birds you pulled at a local wine bar? (With the exception of the Jersey field - it was actually Victoria Street, opposite New Scotland Yard, circa 1989 - I can personally recommend it.)

Groan.

How much does a Londoner pay for shampoo?

Pantene.

I think I'll stick with it.

There's this other piercing place nearer me in Reading where there are a couple of other shops I've been meaning to go to. I didn't think of it sooner because I keep thinking it's somewhere else with rather poor shops. Also, Brighton seemed quite exciting at the time. Reading's a third of the price to get to, takes less than half the time, the train leaves earlier and I have a better idea of my way round it.
Brighton doesn't seem as good an idea any more. I'm still determined to get punctured though.
This is where I was thinking of going. (If you choose something from the menu, you may have to minimise then maximise the blank window to make it show up). The website isn't as impressive as where I was going to go.

i just read a comment you left in MedusaQ's journal on exs (men wanting a shag, women wanting gifts). i'm curious whether it was a mooded aphorism or continuing thought.

250? thats amazing... grr dam u!

ive got a gallery of some of my work on deviantart and i really want a subscription so i get alot more coverage (and therefore visitors and critique!) plus it lets you use lots more features!

vodka money? hehe! all that?!

edit - okay so i just kinda repeated my comment twice, but its late!

so you are getting an extension then? what'cha gettin?

yeh, I think a sleeve would look good.

My problem is I cover up a lot so shoulder tattoos aren't much fun. I like Stormy's elbow deep tattoo because it's so simple and meaningful and it seems quite subtle without never seeing the light of day except when you're on your own taking a shower. I can't think of anything that would be meaningful to me one month then still meaningful the next.

I was going to suggest some activities that may build up your pain tolerance i.e. hurt like hell but I couldn't think of any that wouldn't possibly kill you.

me? broody?! never.

so when are you gonna fly me over to visit?!
