Caught the thameslink earlier to st panc. A group of oh so bubbly "young uns" got on at gatwick, with their big massive suitcases, so happy they were on the way to london, I heard American, Dutch, deutsch and English languages/accents in the group. They were so happy, and loud. I moved carriages. I'm not proud. |

Brow furrowed at the mystery of why everyone thinks he's a cunt, scratching out How Soon is Now on the violin, puffing away on a vegan vape pipe and refusing to pay royalties to Dr Watson? |

Alien is my go to movie when I need cheering up.
In fact I’m just out of a BFI showing of a new 4K “print” for the 40th anniversary.
Now I haven’t been a member of BFI for about 15 years but do they no longer have film projectors? Are they all digital?
And to answer my own question - no. They have all types of projectors - it’s just that this Alien was digital.
And now I’m disappointed - the NFT2 screen is only a 2k digital projector as compared to the main screen which is 4K - so I’ll still have to get the 4K version when it comes out!

Evening le box
Bossman caught me googling the now defunct venue of my first proper gig. West Runton Pavilion 1982 - Motörhead. Looking at the date, he told me he was exactly 2 weeks old that day. Bloody hell.
Looking at the old gig guides from then you could see Sex Pistols for £1.30 and ac/dc for under £3. Tour listings consisted of pubs,theatres and the occasional festival. Happy days.
I'm in a mood for reminiscing....What was your first proper gig?

The earliest gigs I went to were Ian Dury, Graham Parker and Dr Feelgood but I'm hazy on the dates, this one in 1978 I remember quite vividly:  |

Paul Simon Graceland tour.
It was pretty fucking cool.
I mean my mum and dad went and took me along. I was 13.
It is still one of the best gigs i've been to*.
* not that surprising. I have terrible taste in music**
**apart from S&G/Paul Simon obviously. They are ace.

I also saw Motorhead in what effectively was a large room, I stood next to Lemmy's bass bin and was about 6ft away from him, he was a scary looking bugger

Feelgood with Brilleaux and Wilco! Class act.......
Blockheads played locally a few weeks ago and sold out before I could get my act together. Would have loved to have seen them with Dury at the mic.
