Home again...

Back from Whitby, a great time, catching up with people I'd not seen for ageeees. Plus of course lots of lovely time with the wonderful, wonderous the_mendicant. :)
Lots of great outfits around and a bargain new frock coat for me, rah! Plus I found a CD in a charity shop (Soundtrack from Hackers) for 99p that I've wanted for eons, rah!

-Homer Simpson

And then there was sitting through two DVD's of the Old grey whistle test. Wow oh wow, I'd not ever seen rock like this before, it may just be I'll have to start buying a lot of stuff... at least the other dvd for this at least.

Back at work and off to Italy (no, it's not fun, bleh) back Wednesday.

Thats a window into my weekend, we now return you to my usual inane wittering.

Old Grey Whistle Test rules!
If your after any bands off it let me know, my dad may well have some of them as he was a total nut for that show.

Glad you had a good time and I would have been disappointed if you had come back without a new frock. ;o)

Was that Old Grey Whistle Test DVD yours and if so, can I borrow it?

It was Kates (and had the boss on it :) he rocked!) but I'll likely be buying it soon!

50 quid for the 3 disc set on amazon, hmmm.
OK, it has Rosalita on it, I'm sold. ;o)

if you brought Whitby rock back, i'm the only one who actually eats it :P I finished the last of it from the time before (all covered in fluff) two weeks ago *giggles*

Doh, most of it handed out already and the rest earmarked - I know for next time!

... you mean someone else out there owns the Hackers soundtrack? Moreover, someone else out there wanted to own the Hackers soundtrack? I'm not alone!

Definately, its pure techno joy.

I can attest to the quality of the OGWT DVDs. We watched the first of them with Kate's brother last night and they were superb. However, we may both have to source some new copies; I think she's planning to give them to her brother as a gift!
