Mossley Win - and "Tinariwen"

...almost as corny as that one a couple of weeks ago, viz. " 'Winn' for Stalybridge and a Win for Mossley" - blimey the tabloids cry out for cr*p like this.

Anyroad up - no gig photos tonight - because camera is nestling safely in the safe at Ashton Radio Cars HQ - and it's all thanks to Northern Rail (which if you didn't know is an anagram for "Total Incompetence" - actually the best one is "Northern Liar" - too easy though - how about "Ninth Oral Err" ??)

Suffice to say they totally f*cked up this morning - the 0724 train left Mossley TWO MINUTES EARLY - leaving me and Wayne (Vigin Train Driver) stranded - hence taxi to Stalybridge - pay fare - camera falls out of pocket - train to Manchester - realise camera missing - realise less than 50p credit on phone - top-up in Manc and "yes it's been found in taxi" - phew !! Pick up later today - morning off work (MOT at quacks).

Just re-read - God it's boring - Mossley have won 2-0 to keep hopes of miracle escape alive - therefore roll on Saturday @ Guiseley. Tinariwen were excellent - should have finished at 2220 - we left at 2300 (they were still rolling !) to dash to Oxford Road to grab train to Stalybridge, having missed the last chance Victoria to Mossley. And they call Manchester a "24 hour city" - what crap.

Talking of cr*p - I'll stop now before you all start slitting wrists and stuff...I feel naked sometimes without camera to hide literary inadequacies - guess my problem being I just "go for it" - no first draft,second draft etc (and NO Photoshop on pix either !). By the way there could be interesting news on the camera front in the next seven days or so......watch this space....
