BEST GIG EVER.....by a long way

A heady combination of vodka, energy drinks, cider, a 95p cadburys caramel a cheeseburger, doner kebab, Orbital and 2 blue smurfs meant this gig was the best ever.

I am a massive fan of the brothers from down south and this is the 2nd time I have seen them live.

This time was better.....Apart from my shitty camera (or the vodka) taking shit video (well audio actually) ...this night was fantastic...it was like a greatest hits tour...and they played all the classics...Chime, Lush, Belfast and Satan....

I was wrecked and was instantly transported back 20 years and made some amazing shapes with my hands and it was all big fish little fish cardboard box.

Top one nice one get sorted.

Update - September 14th 2009

Well at the moment I am off work and watching Rik and Ade in Bottom - easily one of the funniest comedy shows ever.

Playing a load of really cool games at the moment as I have just linked up my dreamcast (happy birthday) and playing games such as Rez, Ikaruga, Propeller Arena and many many more - this is a class console.

Bought another HUGE bike for a tenner off my next door neighbour, so I have been tweaking and cleaning and changing seats and having some really nice little bike rides with the family....

Playing loads of games, reading nothing at the moment and watched Midnight Run on HD DVD yesterday.......one of the greatest films ever.

I am having a great time at the moment, but all this will crumble to nothingness when I go and see Orbital next week in Newcastle.

This is the highlight of the year and if they are 1% as good as the last time I saw them, it will be amazing.

Even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day.

what I am doing at the moment

ps3 hard drive replacement and the predicament of recording the tv

Bought a 320gb hard drive for my ps3 as I also recently bought Play TV.

My old Wharfedale hd recorder knacked in spectacular fashion......

Considering I threw all videos out of the house and video recorders out even earlier, we have had no way of recording anything off the tv...Even though Iplayer and torr3nt sites have covered most angles, it is still nice to have the facility to tape and watch something the same night or just to keep it...

I priced up a new method of recrding the tv and had a bright light appear in my head when I looked at my ps3.....if I buy a bigger hd for it and `that play tv thing` ...well you get the idea....

it works a treat and actually has a better quality picture than the old freeview method....

It only has the standard uk freeview channels, but that is more than enough for me...

the hd was a doddle to swap and the whole lot cost me about £80.

So I now watch and record freeview on my 320gb ps3.......and the fact that Iplayer has been chucked in the latest update means the 360 can get stuffed....even though I bought bf1943 for it, I havent renewed my xbox live gold and I think now - whats the point.....

The ps3 has really started to be the top console for my house and I will probably buy ps3 online games from now on and let the 360 play hd dvds and nowt else.....until xbox live is free anyway !!
