Remember when you were wee and your parents used to drag you around B&Q on a Sunday looking for paint or wiring or some crap for the garden? I used to hate that but now I've got to that age where I actually enjoy wandering round these places looking for D.I.Y. nonsense; I spent about two hours in Dobbies last week looking at fish... and I hate fish. I must be getting old.

Last night we played a brilliant gig with Beatnic Prestige and From The Jam at Velocity in Dunfermline. Big thanks to Miller for getting us on the bill. I really enjoyed it; the crowd were fantastic and gave us a warm reception which was much appreciated considering that they were there to hear Mod music which is a genre that's a bit different from our style. My highlight of the night was a glorious rendition of "Charlie Brown" by Beatnic Prestige, I've never noticed Butch's cymbal work in the chorus before but last night it sounded awesome. From The Jam were great too. They played all the hits: Going Underground, That's Entertainment, the theme tune from mock the week... Going Underground...it was special. Really good to see Paul Weller in the town too although he's looking a bit different these days.

I've recently got into a bad habit of buying stuff online when I get home from the town. Credit card + alcohol + internet = buyers remorse. Last week I came home and spent about £40 on posters and prints, the other night I bought a couple of new pickups for my guitar but last night I made the most random purchase of all... I bought a decorating kit specially designed to remove woodchip from walls! Rock and Roll I aint! Anyone else want to share their poorly judged past purchases?

Anyway, it's Sunday so I better get up to the retail park and stoat around B&Q.
