I totally forgot to draw a badger for the wall at work.

Big Snakes got headhunted to support David J - formerly of Bauhaus - at the Cockpit on the 1st of November. I've always considered myself a lucky man, but that's just ludicrous. Almost... unbelievable. Anyone wanting to come to Leeds and see this very talented man perform needs to get in touch and I'll arrange a place to crash afterwards. I'm ( Read more... )

So, finally got an appointment with the mental health trust, only 5 months after my initial attempt to seek help. This should be a doddle for them, since I'm now well past the acute phase of my problems. Unless all of this is an April Fools joke; I was genuinely surprised someone actually answered the phone, as it was I was expecting just to leave ( Read more... )
