Mines not turned up yet either, but seeing as they've turned up in Europe, I'm sure mine's floating around some depot somewhere.

All these videos of people getting theirs is making me hella jealous

I refuse to listen because Ghost in the Shell is like the anime Blade Runner and I like anime and Blade Runner.

Also my government agrees with me and blocked the pirate bay.

I will buy the new MS 20 if it has the MS 10's advertising campaign.

So there's there's this kid called Timmy and all he wants for Christmas is a tractor. He loves them. Goes on and on about them, all the time. It's all he wants. So his parents go out and they get him a little toy tractor, with little tractor accessories and all that. He loves it and plays with it all year. Most kids get tired of their toys pretty quickly but not Timmy he just indulges in his tractor love.

Next Christmas is coming around and his parents ask him what he wants. And he tell's them, that he wants a Tractor. He had one last year but he's still crazy about them, and he's been good so what's the problem? So they go out and get him a bigger tractor toy, nice metal one now he's older with all the cool little details. He loves that shit. Plays with it all year, spends hours just looking at the details. Everything.

So It's about the same time the next year and they ask him what he wants for Christmas and lo and behold, he want's a tractor. They're seeing a pattern here. And they don't see why not, so they go out and get him a little ride-in tractor. He loves it, he's happy he plays with it all year. Scooting along in his tractor rain or shine.

Christmas comes along again and Timmy still wants a tractor. But his parents are trying to figure out how to make this work for them now he;s getting older. They get him a big ass lawnmower that he can drive around in and pretend to be in a tractor. It's not quite a tractor, but Timmy understands. This shit is about imagination, so he loves it. Always mowing their lawn, mowing neighbours lawns you name it.

Once more Christmas comes  around and they already know what he wants. So they go out and get him one of those life adventure gift voucher things. That basically lets him go to a real farm and ride around in a real tractor. He loves it, it's the most amazing thing and he's never been so happy.

So, he's getting a bit older now and Christmas comes along. He goes to his parents and he says "This year, can I just have an iPod?". They were confused after all this time, but hey he's growing up. So they get him his iPod and he's totally happy and he uses it all the time.

But one day, while on his way back from school listening to his iPod, he notices that his house is on fire!. The fire brigade are there and they're trying to help but the smoke is just too thick for them to find their way around. His parents are trapped inside! Without a moments hesitation he runs into the house. The firemen are trying to stop him.

"It's too dangerous, you'll get yourself killed!"

But Timmy doesn't stop. He runs inside, and in one big breath he inhales all the smoke. All of it. The house is suddenly clear enough for his parents to be saved and the firemen drag everyone out to safety. Afterwards the Fire chief asked him:
"How the hell did you do that?"

And Timmy looks to the Fire chief and says;

"Well, I'm an extractor fan"

EDIT:God that was effort.

I stand corrected!

There was a chip show in Leicester during the 2009 boom. Apart from my own gigs there haven't been any since (as far as I'm aware). I'm in Nottingham currently but I'm looking to tap my little well of local resources and try to put on a chip gig in Leicester at some point. If there are any east midlands folks around these parts, get in touch! It'd be nice just to have a pint with some chip musicians and see what we can put together.

My lady friend is from Liverpool and I'm pretty excited that that puts me a pretty sweet position to go see some great gigs and maybe meet some of the folks I've been listening to for so long.

It's a joke.

I'm beginning to understand Zan Zan.
