Fack Facking Fack FACK FAAAAACK (File>Edit>Replace>a with u)
This weekend just gone I went to the fabulous Bang Your Head festival in Balingen, a sleepy little town in the southern reaches of the new home of metal, Germany. Getting there was easy, and with fantastic performances by bands like Heaven & Hell, Edquy, Hammerfall, Thunder, Nazareth among many more, great weekend, although all the ants in the world seemed to be there, on my tent, pesky things.
On the way back I got searched for drugs on the ICE train, scary stuff. Then I ran out of book (still reading the Wheel of Time, upto number 9 now) so I was sat in Munich airport for 5 hours with nothing to do, except watch the German news and apart from some Russian athletes causing a cafuffel and some large red circles plaguing a map of Nurmburg. Oh, yes, and the bomb scare, although it was all efficient and not scary, didn't shut down the airport like they probably would here.
That isn't the "Fack" which i mentioned in the subject, thats to come.
Today was the worst day ever.
Got back to Middlesbrough at 3:30am, had a shower, got to bed at 4:00am, woke up at 6:30am to go to work at 7:00am because the reports work b0rked because some people can't write down instructions ¬_¬. But all of that was going to be ok because Static X in Manchester, oh yes? YES. NO! Fucking trains, got to York, some people got on the train and were saying "Oh yes, this is to Middlesbrough" and I'm all like "WTF?!" so i jump off the train, no other trains to Mancy for another hour so I wouldn't be able to get there on time for the gig, which pissed me off very much as S-X are one of the last 3 bands I really need to see (Inc. KISS and Rob Zombie).
So I try to get back to Middlesbrough, the middlesbrough train gets cancelled and no one will tell us a definate yes or no. So i get on the train to Darlington sat next to this lovely girl who was reading one of the Ender Saga by Orson Scott Card (one of the best authors ever). Could i pluck up the courage to talk to her? Could I bollocks!
Finally a pigeon craps on my coat in Darlington before I managed to make my way home to middlesbrough in the pouring rain to my house where I am now going to sulk and be depressed.
All this because of a bit of rain on an island where it rains most of the time.
Still, Tesla on Thursday should still be doable.
