It will be hot and sunny and there will be nice beaches with plenty to bars and oodles of things to see and do but it will no doubt be hell and I'll be wishing every day I was back at work in Burton or trudging through the rain to the Country Girl for a night huddled under the heaters whilst people yell global socio/political doubleplus truths down my ears.

Still, I shall write and let you share in my misery.

Paul wants people to go and watch the Zutons in a forest in Nottinghamshire. It's £26 plus a booking fee of another fiver. Not sure if I actually like the Zutons or not and if I do whether I actually like them enough to pay £31 + accomodation costs to see them.

Anyway you might....

Jamie Jones, Tristan Da Cunha, Jamie Anderson and Adam Shelton playing some minimalist tech house at the Rainbow Warehouse...it will be full of attractive ladies.

Reggae and house music on the Friday night, The Enemy, Art Brut and some Senagalese Bongo Man Dude and other WOMAD type stuff on the Saturday.

There is a plea for people not to bring alcomohol to the festival??? Where's the fun in an alcohol free misic, or is the plea in order that they can sell more over priced rip off britain festival beer??

At Lickey Hills Country Park, 10.45 until 11.30am under the old Scots Pine to the right of the playground. Then on to buffet and beer at the Wildmoor Oak Public House, Wildmoor Oak near Catshill.

If six and half hours solid drinking at the naming ceremony followed by more alcohol at the Paul and Kezza's house isn't enough for you, there is further drinking opportunity later in the evening. My mate Neil (who some of you have met at different festivals) is getting married to Amy (who I don't think any of you have met) at the Custard Factory tomorrow. Tim and Gemma (who most of you know) are coming up from Lowestoft and Matt (former fellow cock basher with a bald head and upwards) is here from Japan for the wedding.

Does anyone coming to see some folktronica bands at the Bar Academy? £7

My Bloody Valentine (also better than the Cocteau Twins) are headlining!

Pohoda is Slovakian for relax and the festival is an attempt to create an atmosphere where revellers can chill out, let down their hair and unwind. Imagine a weekend at a spa but with the soundtrack of some of the world’s greatest acts.

Even the location is calming: an airport located at the foot of the Strazovske vrchy hills in the beautiful valley of the Vah River. The event amalgamates a variety of arts with sculpting, painting, dance, literature and theatre with music being the proverbial glue that holds it all together.

its in Madrid if you hadn't heard.

I have reached a ripe old age for a monkey, yes I have. Whilst usually birthdays fall on a weeknight (boo!!) I am in the nice position of it being on a Friday. I think I will probably end up in a pub in town somewhere... suggestions?

SUPERGRASS * THE CORAL - ACOUSTIC SET * SIMIAN MOBILE DISCO - LIVE * ROISIN MURPHY * WHITEST BOY ALIVE * LIGHTSPEED CHAMPION * TOM BAXTER * KING CREOSOTE * OF MONTREAL * NINA NASTASIA * JEFFREY LEWIS * RACHEL UNTHANK * DENGUE FEVER

Live Acts:

I'll be in my new home in eastern Iceland!

To the Ladies of The Club. A booking has been made for Casa Italia. Bearwood next Sat (27/09/08) at 7pm.

See you then

I believe some of the club's women are gathering for natter and drinksies (or whatever else the female of our species gets up to) on sat 27th Sept. As this renders some male members inert (oo-er) and home-bound I propose a

MAMMOTH GAMING NIGHT

with as many of us online as possible.

In preparation for this spectacular event it might be wise to cross-reference our multi-player games and for us to, perhaps, get hold of some new game or two to try out.

I think I'll be going to this:

on the Saturday. A teacher-mate of mine called Ollie is going... anyone else fancy it?

I will be going to work till about 12.00/1.00 and then will be going for a few beers in the Briar Rose with Gary and Richard's cousin Paul and a few others. Then I will go home for food before heading to the Country Girl for a few more Christmassy Beers

Some of us are going to Barcelona. Joey claims that he will be drinking Stella Artois till it comes out of his ears. I suspect that he means milky cups of tea. We may end up in this bar at some point:
