The ice hockey cup games are mostly a bit crap, to be honest. In football terms it's a bit like watching a Carling Cup match or something, or the LDV Vans Trophy or whatever it's called now.
It was something called 'Best Of British', I wondered whether it was just a pointless friendly but yeah, it sounds more like the Carling Cup with a restriction on overseas players (half-assed performances, half-full stadiums, half-strength teams, etc).
Thanks for the offer Aisa, and it's appreciated, but there's a lass in Earlsdon who's going to look after Cabby over the days we're away: saves you a trek from Chelyesmore/Tile Hill.
Walking out on work six weeks before Christmas just isn't practical with bills to pay, and I get the feeling it's all about to change soon anyway, but yeah, it has been a bit savage recently. We're a three-star hotel, but our infrastructure problems make it feel like working in an understaffed hospital or something.
I'll grant there's exceptions to the rule; mostly, however, it appears that bassists have almost negative stage presence, where they stand motionless at the back of the stage. In the interests of fairness, keyboardists are just as bad.
I do know what you mean, and agree for the most part. However, it seems to be a common problem these days that all members of a band apart from the singer (and sometimes including the singer) just kind of stand there looking bored.
I think perhaps bassists are more prone to it because they're intently trying to keep precise time, which isn't so much of a problem for guitarists and which can cripple you somewhat in the spasmodic-movements area.
Yeah, someone needs to give most local bands tips on stage presence and stuff. And I must say you never had problems with spasmodic movements when with Coybito (and I think 'The Day Before the Revolution' was John's only problematic one, for obvious reasons).
It does rather, like some sort of 'Nightbreed'/'Labyrinth' crossover or something, with fascism and stuff. Cabaret rarely gets called by his full name, but it does suit him.

I only find ice hockey entertaining if viewing it as a close enough proximity to be hit by the splatters of blood and showers of teeth.
