Well. Well. Well.

My computer is back. It was waiting for me outside my back door in a very heavy red box when I got home, and the people across the road were laughing at me while I tried to get it inside. In the rain. Thankyou.
It's been very weird not having it. I felt like I had nothing to do, it is so lame that when something like a COMPUTER goes missing you feel lack of purpose. And now I have got it back I can't remember why I missed it.
Well then what has happened. Sod all. I have sat at home making loops on my keyboard and that is basically all.
Oh, I tell a lie - I saw Patrick Wolf on a sunday that occured...sometime. In November. The 25th. But I don't know how many days/weeks ago that was. In the time it took to type that I probably could have worked that out and told you. Oh well. But yeah - Patrick Wolf at The Lowry (that place has such a bizarre colour scheme - the theatre I was in was all pink). It was amazing, and I got completely crushed in the mosh pit...yes I am lying through my teeth (or fingers). It was brilliant, but not in the way that everyone was dancing and attempting a stage invasion to pull out his hair and steal his violin. I was well aware it would be "acoustic, reflective and quiet" (myspace), but that suited me fine. It was a really beautiful set, and if I carry on describing it the whole thing will sound all soppy and pathetic. But yeah, fantastic.
This is probably going to sound very bizarre, but I always get post-gig depression. Seriously, once a gig is over I get really upset, but not in the "noooo it cant be over do an encore" way, in the "oooh I have nothing fun going on and I have nothing to look forward to now it's over and I can never get it back" way.

Grim.

Hey, Miss Fur. Good to see you back. Good to hear you enjoyed Patrick Wolf. I am Kloot were bobbins.

I seriously have no idea who that is. Any recommendations?

Not really. We went to see I am Kloot the night you went to see Patrick Wolf. They're a Manchester group. Get great reviews. We went on the recommendation of a techie colleague who had seen them in Hamburg. I was bored.

I thought you said they were bobbins! Surely that means they were good? Wow, I have got the completely wrong end of this...

Sorry, 'it was bobbins' is a Manchester phrase that means 'it was worthless' (That obviously doesn't travel well - or far). See below:

bobbins adj useless junk. Possible etymology (root) lies in the north of England (particularly the Lancashire and Manchester areas), which used to be supported extensively by cotton mills. As the industrial revolution drew to a close, the mills closed down and there was a surfeit of largely worthless milling machinery floating around. During that time the phrase "twas werth nout but bobbins" sprung up, and from there we're left only with "bobbins"
