By justin | Published: April 19, 2006

Excellent! I just rang Usher Hall to see what time The Flaming Lips are on tonight and found out that The Go! Team are supporting! Two bands one stone and all that. Nice! More exciting than IE7 Beta which I still haven’t got round to installing.

A half deep fried pizza supper and a can of Irn Bru

By justin | Published: March 21, 2006

oh yes we’re back in Scotland! Nowhere has deep fried pizzas like Scotland. Does anywhere else have deep fried pizzas at all?
