How much fun can you have with £4.25

The Answer..... Not Much, except feeling sorry for yourself. I really have done nothing for the last week except try to fit a drum kit into a set of extremely small boxes. But I did manage to find this photo of me and Jez at the Reading festival in 2002 making a 4-tier human pyramid, I was on the fucking bottom (I was really smart back then and voluntered for the position).







And I found this picture of us playing at the Planet Sounds Showcase, if I miss anything about this country it will be playing with and seeing these guys.









And Last but not least I found this picture of my old house in Reading, the man on the left is an Underwear thief, and the man on the right is constantly stoned. And I dont know the girl in the middles name. However if you could see the guy behind the camera he would have very long dreadlocks which would be cut off at an after-show party, much to his delight actually.




Things to avoid....

1) Moving all your money to Australia, and then thinking. "Wait a second Rob, you are going to be here for another 10 days you muppet, maybe moving ALL your money wasn't such a good idea."

Santa Claus is gunning you down.

In the song the 12 days of Christmas. On the first day you get a partridge in a pear tree, quite a nice gift for the first day. However on the second day you get the 2 turtle doves and the partridge in the pear tree. So you got one partridge and tree on the first day, and then on the second day you get another one. So by the time Christmas actually arrives one would have received:

12 partridges and 12 pear trees (Obviously assuming you had an orchard to put said trees in).
22 Turtle Doves
30 French Hens (Assuming they lay 4 eggs a day, thats a lot of omlettes to be eating)
36 Calling Birds
40 Gold Rings (Thats 2 for every digit)
42 Geese Laying (Quite a coincidence for all 42 to be laying at once I know but not outside the realms of possibility)
42 Swans a Swimming
40 Ladies Dancing
36 Piper Piping
30 Maids a Milking (So that 30 cows as well)
22 Drummers Drumming (Now i am a drummer so I know thats going to be annoying).
12 Lords Leaping all over the place - don't they have castles to do that in.

Now whomever wrote this song obviously had an interest in Ornithology and was a music lover because the unfortunate person whom these princly gifts was bestowed upon has managed to gain 184 birds of varying species and 58 Musicians.

As one can probably tell, I am trying to make myself feel better. I am actually very unhappy because a certain person is in New York. I have to be content with eating the massive breakfast that I intend upon cooking myself every morning from now till next the 22nd of May.
