Northern Planning summit last night at Runaway Girl in Sheffield. Gemma noticed that the staff were incredibly nice to us. Either they're that way all the time, which is a nice thought, or they knew we were coming. Let's face it, if Famous Rob thinks you're okay you've got it made, no wonder they tried so hard.
Rob mentioned that he can continue to teach me about music, now that his wi-fi's sorted out. He played some stuff on his Ipod that sounded pretty good, the acceptable face of thrash metal to these old grumpy ears.
Rob's got a fuller description on his blog. For my part, I'm glad we agreed that Second Life is rubbish, that JamesB needs to re-think his arty flat caps and I really like the idea of creches for men in shops - just give me looped Sopranos episodes and you can try on as many pairs of skinny jeans as you can.
They were surprisingly nice, and the place itself was nice and cosy without being cramped. Im definitely returning there, they sell Asahi!
I worry if you thought either of those bands were thrash! They were both a few notches down from that...

I notice you didn't mention the "age" conversation AH.
Flat caps are 'in'. That is until I wore one. Back to the bobble hat.
Good to see you all. It's tough getting us all together eh and It was much appreciated that yourself and gemma made the journey south to take the piss out of my head gear.

Indeed it was.
If it was anything the train journey back from leeds last time then its much appreciated!
I didnt think the head gear was too bad, but then again I did miss the flatcap...
