Im currently high on stimulants having a coffee at the fake xmas market at munich airport.
I just had a baked potato too, and get this, I went off menu with the toppings, because I didnt want to smell all garlicky, so wanted garlic cream swapped for straight sour cream. The germans didnt know how to react but they could sense I was living on the edge and thankfully gave in before I kicked off properly.
And then I only ate half the skin. Cos I just dgaf.
So far today I'm 100% more sausage roll than I am rock n roll. I do however have the opportunity to spoil that by attending a concert tonight.
I drive a VW Passat Estate. 😥
Well...
I hardly drink, I’m pished after 3 pints and after 4 I need to be put to bed.
I don’t smoke.
I rarely stay up past 10:30pm
I sometimes sit on the sofa with a blanket over my legs.
In the last few months I’ve made an effort to cut down on my caffeine intake.
However, in the past...
I’ve been on 3-4 day benders, booze, pills and coke more than a few times.
I’ve run from the law a couple of times, once in a car because I was driving like a Div, once out of the country because I was very slightly involved with a bunch of arseholes/idiots that got themselves arrested with big bags of pills and didn’t fancy having to explain myself / once from a foriegn city because I was again acting the Div and local police ‘wanted a word’. I’ve been arrested twice, but thankfully never charged.
I’ve got more than a few scars, too many injuries that will stay with me forever and more than one screw loose.
On balance sensible living is more fun, everyone needs to go a bit mad now and again, but I was a dickhead in my 20s.
How Rock n Roll .? On a scale of 1-10 where 1 = not at all.... 10 = lemmy....
2, I’ve overstepped the mark this week due to Monday night cocktails in Plateau with some soon to be ex-colleagues .. redeemed myself by reading Dan Browns Origin over the last couple of nights.. oh, and Detectorists was fabulous last night too.
What a bunch of middle aged saddo's.....just like me! 🙂
Considering a second latte.
On a scale of 1-10 I'm -1.
Rock n roll? It was Doves and Techno in my day.
I'm not very either of those any more. Last night I pushed the boat out with a can of Carlsberg and [i]started [/i]watching Detectorists at 10-30, bed at 11, fast times.
+ what P Jay said.
So far this week I’ve watched [u][b]TWO[/u][/b] episodes of Grantchester.
Going out on the lash in Notts on Saturday, and then to the Royal Blood gig. Can't bloody wait 🙂 Max RnR

I read that as 'considering a second lathe'
I was going to give it 10-10
50th birthday bash Sat,late night out (12.30) 🙂
I've swapped microwave egg poaching tips with strangers on the internet.
Livin' the dream.
Cougar - ModeratorAs have I.
Like.
I’ve just got home, I’m lying in bed with the cat next to me, a brew and a packet of choccie bourbons. I intend to stay here for the rest of the day/night
I watched newsight on iplayer last night whoop
I've been discussing plans for my kitchen extension with an architect and will be compiling a party wall agreement with the neighbours this weekend.
Dear god... What have I become!!!
Must focus on the gigs I have coming up... Idles, Kontrust and Foo Fighters...
Been toying with the "Britrock must be destroyed" gig, but I'd rather slather my genitals with chilli-sauce than listen to Reef... Which leads me on nicely to my next bit of "being rock and roll" - if I went to the gig I was actually hoping they might headline, so I could get away early...
Last night I stayed up to 11pm playing my new(-ish) guitar.
Mind you I didn't plug it in (bit late for firing up the amp!).
I then went to bed and put on some Estonian choral music to help me get to sleep (alarm set for 5 am, R4 but world service at that time...) 😳
I used to be hardcore, the last man standing .
Tonight I'll be in bed by nine and might have a chamomile tea before.
Don't have time to sort my sock drawer though.
I have a big bore exhaust on my low slung sports coupe, which i struggle to get in and out of. 8)
I didn't get the job I applied for in the company I work for......
I'm eating a chippy to cheer myself up. Settle down ladies
My life is like Pjays, only without the wild past to look back on fondly 🙄
Comparing phones in the pub ......two single friends have a number of “adult” clips and pictures on their phones. I have Topsy and Tim, Paw Patrol and Peppa Pig.
I'll let you know after 'enders has finished.
I’ve just finished washing and sterilising baby bottles. Now I’m in bed with my three year old as he has tonsillitis. Livin life on the edge here in the Funk house.

Why are you trying to get into an exhaust?
I rock, but only in primary colours...

I went and drank A LOT of tea after this gig.

Dunno.
I'm baffled too.
ygm, btw.
🙂
Bit of a mixed bag I'm afraid. I've celebrated finding a cap to match my tweed shooting waistcoat, but I am struggling to find breeks. However, I've plagued my carpal tunnels by learning to play Pretty Vacant, Another Girl Another Planet, A Forest and a version of When You Don't See Me.
Woo.
I'm baffled too.
Very good. (-:
ygm, btw.
I know, sorry, I'm being crap. I sat down to reply this afternoon right when the forum went pop.
Well, I saw Opeth, supported by Enslaved at the O2 Academy on Tuesday night, there was a mosh pit going and everything!

Oh, and there was Wolf Parade on Saturday night as well.
Go me!
Mrs Pondo was away last weekend so my Saturday night was learning piano and boiling a ham. Pwned you all, whatever that means. 🙂

Was that the Exeter respect festival?
I'm 42. I've never drunk, smoked or taken drugs. I still play tabletop RPGs and occasionally build model kits. If I don't get at least 8 hours of sleep a night my head is mush and I'll basically be non-functional by Friday. I own a Skoda and I'm a software engineer.
Even if you factor in that I do go to see live music fairly frequently I am basically your calibration point for the "not rock 'n' roll whatsoever" end of the spectrum.
Was that the Exeter respect festival?
Yeah, couple of years ago now.
Band is on a hiatus due to a lot of us having young kids. Pity as we used to play at loads of festivals, and I'll have to pay to get in now 🙁
Been to 2 gigs this week (Royal Blood/At the drive in & QOTSA). After 3 hours of standing at the first gig I was so glad to have seats for the following night.
And at almost 11pm tonight (much to the disgust of my wife) I had cheese cake and chocolate ice cream. It was verging on class A.
Im so rock and roll I can do starjumps to the tunes of Bill Haley on the foc`sle of an Icelandic trawler in a force 12 !
This may actually come in handy if I become a mercenary trawlerman in the future cod wars !
Did I mention I'm in a band? 😉

I've got tickets for the Britrock must be destroyed! tour featuring The Wildhearts, Terrorvision & Reef,
As have I. \m/
And me
It's 5am and rather than lying in bed grumbling about not being able to sleep I got up and made an early start. I might have a nap later to catch up. I may have a couple of beers this evening. You know what you can do if you don't like it.
Up early and on the road to catch some surf!
That’s how I roll ..
Never stopped listing to rock n metal but I cant headbang anymore , my arthritis wont let me .
Well, I was, for a long time, but stopped all that malarky after the weekends caught up with me in my forties after stopping being a rock drummer and getting a proper job.
Since I've retired however, there's an opportunity to indulge in an echo of my past next April in Germany. I've bought a kit and I'm getting my skill chops together after a 30 year long interruption.
I wonder if "backstage" is what it used to be? (Flexes nostrils, orders viagra...) 😯
Used to be ..not anymore ..
Still love rock music ..saw just about all the major rock bands of the 70's/ 80's ..made a good living as a record company rep and then as one of 4 regional sales & merchandising managers in the UK .
Have gold & silver records hanging on my office wall for contribution to UK sales ..been to Sony & EMI end of conference bashes ( Saw Radiohead before they broke big ) ..saw the very last Pink Floyd gig as a VIP guest on the Division Bell Tour ( hospitality 'tent' access )..in October '94..
These days I'm tucked up in bed by 10.00pm..and don't visit pubs anymore ..have maybe a couple of beers 2 or 3 times a week..used to smoke but gave up 14+ years ago the day my son got christened and have never done drugs . ..still get to the occasional gig ..the last one being a small scale event in the Cumberland Arms, Newcastle with all my MTB mates a couple of weeks ago to see another of our biking mates (Nikk )perform as support act to Ed Banger & The Nosebleeds a group that started out as a 70's Punk band and are still going strong and writing their own material ..
A pic from that night ..some of us still have our own hair !

Long live rock and roll...!!
Rock and Roll update to my original post...
