I've seen angels fall from blinding heights

First band meeting went pretty well. All 5 of us seemed to gel which is always a good sign (then again, that happened with my last band :-S )

The lineup consists of Si on lead guitar, John on rythmn guitar, Anth on bass, Chris on drums and yours truly on vocals - This is Si in guitar rock god mode...

At the meeting me and Si made the decision for each member to suggest a song to learn for next week...

My choice



Si's choice



Johns choice



Anth's choice



And finally, Chris' choice



Quite a varied selection and, hopefully, one that will appeal to the majority of any crowd we play to.

Not been drinking as bad as when I was at my 'best' but could still do a lot better. If this project is gonna be a go'er, I need to cut either right back or cut it off - I don't think I can be a social drinker.

Had an IB50 form to fill in again to prove I am incapable of working. I get annoyed (and hit the bottle harder) when I get these as they seem to expect a degeneritive disease like arthritis to magically get better since the last form. The operation I had was botched and I have a severely weakened left hand. I also have arthritis in my right hand, sciatica, scoliosis and a lumbar disc lesion... but they seems to think I can go and work in a factory for minimum wage!

If I could work, trust me, i'd still be running my computer consultancy. When I was XS Computers I had running agreements with several companies to maintain there equipment, I was building PC's for people daily and also making the obligitary call outs for virii and spyware removal... and I loved it. Now I struggle to type, have to pay someone if I need to change the motherboard in mine and can't spend too long at one because I can't sit for extended periods of time!

hey ho, it's all good though, at least I can read and listen to stuff using my laptop. Currently working my way through the Dalek Empire audiobooks.

And speaking of The Dokker (BIG assed spoilers for any Dr Who fans outside the UK!)



I marked out like a 5 year old child :-D
