Driving down to sisters in Essex after work today. Pity the band are not playing the Garage this Friday. Then I could have gone. Might get round to wrapping up some presents. Hope everyone has an enjoyable christmas. Only a month to wait for the DVD, so a good start to the New Year already.

We got into Sheffield by accosting a taxi driver and asking if we could follow him. Well worth a fiver! Last time though, we parked at Meadowhall and got a tram. Loads less traumatic!

Undertones, Buzzcocks & Damned would be a great line up (wonder who will top the bill?). Saw The Misfits (with Marky Ramone on drums) at the Academy earlier in the year. Upstairs where they played is quite small but downstairs is much larger.

I seem to remember tour tshirts used to sell for £2.00. When they werent selling well the band put them up and they sold out! Many a happy hour spent queuing on the stairs of Newcastle City Hall to buy t shirts. Pity you could spit through them and they all disintergrated after 2 washes!

A gig in Birmingham - Christmas comes early! Never been a big Damned fan but still - just hope the order of the bands for the gig is right! Have a great Christmas break you lot and may 2004 be a good one for you all. Cheers...Lee

By the way, my PC seems to have been infected by a sort of virus whereby my Search window in Explorer has been infiltrated by a website called searchxl.com. Have tried everything to get rid, deleted Cookies, scanned with Ad-Aware, but its still there. If anyone's got any experience of this one, I'd appreciate some help.

Stote, go to Microsoft website and download latest explorer pack, hopefully this helps out. Have a great Christmas everyone....

undertones tak number 36 on the downtown top 50 not bad SEE YA

Haven't caught any of the recent shows but getting aquainted with the CD. Oh Please is the best track of 2003. Happy Xmas hope you are all well.

Today, seeking 5 minutes peace, I plonked Martha Rose in front of CeeBeenies whilst Tweenies were on. They were doing a version of 12 days of Christmas and had changed it to a Humdinger Tree. How sad is it that I should be thrilled by this? Merry Christmas everyone.
