I must shirley be the first one home t'neet! Seeing as I've just left everyone else on the bus all going fcuking miles away!

Tim did leave an hour back but if he's home before 2am I'll be gobsmacked!

Slow gig I thought. Took a long time to get going. Interpol have way too many longeurs and not enough oomph which is fine in a small venue but I did feel that a big venue gave too much leeway to the fan of the chinstroking variety. Far too many people stood around pontificating it all.

The lager was shit too. Who The Fuck drinks Carlsberg?

Still, what do we care? Me and Gemima, Timbo, Nickos, Dave Clarke and Gary & Gordie basically just had a good giggle, with Interpol for a backing track. I wouldn't swap some people's company for the world. Qualidee night, as ever.

Those cocktails weren't bad either for that price!

Got back at 1.30, struck lucky actually. Railway engineering works so the train was fast to Strood and then a bus, train got there quicker than it would have if it had been a stopper, was home ten mins before the scheduled arrival time. Not often you can say that with Southeastern railway!

Enjoyed meself, despite having to leave early, kind of Interpol to play in the background while we were chatting!

What was the first encore track? Couldn't quite see it on the setlist.

Untitled.

Er, you know, the one that's actally titled 'Untitled'.

The one that, um, is playing when Joey kissed Rachel for the first time in Friends!

(I can't believe I just admitted that I know that :nonono: )

Ally Pally is a great venue but what a fecking pain in the arse to get to. Had to leave during the last song - shuttle bus, tube, another tube, train and then car home. In bed by 0230 :crazy:

Still, that rendition of Not Even Jail was worth it alone. And Specialist for an encore. Smashin.

Not when it's at the end of your road! Even with fannying about outside I was still home some 3hrs before you! :evil4:

Good to catch up with you and TB on Friday.

Thought that was better than Thursday. PDA was hilarious just to watch the Pompey lads go ballistic! And I've never seen such a slight fella as Vincenzo manage to put away so much grub in one night!

Those Brazilian donuts were amazing..can't say the same thing for Interpol though :lol:

We were wondering what exactly a Brazillian Donut was. I guess it must have had something to with the amount of pubic hair.
