Earlier this year, Deek Allan gave me a copy of Oi Polloi's latest CD, 'Dùisg!' in return for allowing them to use a photo I took of them at Bannerman's for the inner gatefold. I've only just got around to listening to it, and it's totally excellent! Storming riffs and great production: not bad at all for a completely DIY, underground record. Now, if only I could make out a single word of Deek's lyrics!

Acht well, I suppose I'd better drag myself off to the very bowels of hell...eh, I mean the shops...and get the Christmas shopping. I won't bother making a shopping-list, because even if I only put 'bottles of wine and boxes of chocolates' on it, it's absolutely guaranteed that there'll be no bottles of wine or boxes of chocolates to be found when I get there! One of the totally worst things about the so-called 'festive' season is being subjected to dreadful Christmas tunes over the PA in shops. This is one of my pet hates at the best of times, but it's ten times worse at Christmas. If there's one thing I can't stand, it's relentless, enforced jollity. Anyway, I'm just about to hit the shops the now. I wish I had a pair of ear-defenders so I could protect my lugs from the likes of this!
