    Stupid mistakes

    I wasn't bothered until I saw I'd dropped down the table. Ffs Dave.

    Things We Like

    Now I know how all Northerners felt when I was off to 100 club last year. Jealous. Tempted to see them twice in 3 nights by flying to Dublin when they support Libertines then straight to T in the Park the next day. Roll on Heaton Park.

    Optional when I went in December. Myself and a mate decided to wander round on our own to take it all in, incredibly moving place(s). In terms of Krakow, beautiful city. The Castle looked cool but we were limited for time as it was a football focused trip (Did Górnik Zabrze and Wisła).......Be...

    Explain your username/avatar

    I happened to be listening to Van Der Graaf when registering. Courteeners are my favourite band, also. Kings & Queens album cover as my avatar because I like it/Jamie T. And it's a good album.

    First time I was ever black out drunk/got a pint legally was in Brugge a few years back. I was 16 and used to drinking Fosters cans, and decided then was the time, there and then, to experiment different ales ranging from 7%-12%. I would say I learnt my lesson.....Stay off the main square would...

    You've never had Polish Vodka! Bought a bottle back from Katowice and it was like drinking a 20% apple juice. Messy, messy night for all involved.

    Stickied What are you reading right now?

    Not had much time recently, still chopping away at The File: A personal history by Timothy Garton Ash. Interesting read thus far, and a good insight into how the Stasi worked. Just had Berlin Now: The Rise Of The City And The Fall Of The Wall by Peter Schneider (of Wall Jumper fame - a book I...

    Gigs

    Saw Wombats in Leadmill on the back of my mate saying they're one of the worst bands he'd seen live (We've both seen an awful lot of gigs) but were impressed. Loving Glitterbug. The crowd for The View was disappointing, but expected. They still put on a good show, can't wait to see them in...

    Gigs

    Bought a ticket for The View this evening at the last minute. Means I'm seeing Them, The Wombats and Circa Waves in the next 5 days. Not bad! Of recent gigs, The Cribs was my favourite. Even better live than I imagined. Little Comets/Catfish and The Bottlemen were fun as well, but too many 14...

    Hohenschönhausen? That's different, but is also on my itinerary. The Stasi Museum is housed in the old Stasi HQ with Mielke's offices still as they were in the Stasi prime etc. I'll probably do both and the Tränenpalast on the day I see Circa Waves as the venue is next to the East Side gallery...

    Booked a few days in Berlin at the end of the month, love that city. Hoping to get to the Stasi Museum, Tempelhof and go up the Reichstag this time. Anyone done the Alternative or Cold War walking tour before? Did the 'general' one last time and really enjoyed it so would consider doing this...
