I didn't find much between the US and Canadian border agents tbh. Both were as serious about their job as the other. There was one awesome guy at the airport (in Toronto) though who spoke to me about the Red Wings and Steve Yzerman, he was awesome.

We consider it (mentally) to be like going between Mexico/America/Canada cause it is crossing borders/changing country. But, unless I'm mistaken, physically it's more like going between States (if you're going from one EU member country to another, well Schengen signatories, but there's a decent cross over of the two). Only passport hassle is with the UK and between non-EU (non-Schengen signatories) countries.

Happy to help however I can. There's nothing quite like following your favourite band across the country.

Haha yup! I've done about two/three years in it. Way too rusty at it now haha. I await your challenge, young one.

I've been trained in sword combat. trufax.

First six or so songs are fantastic. Tails off after then. The album could do with being a few songs shorter.

I could say the same thing to you!

Still to listen to this, should get on it soon.

Yeah same, should really pay more attention. I thought you were just doing Manchester. Agreed. One of the new songs, possibly Planetary, is an absolute fucking stormer. Got massive single written all over it. Would've preferred Honey to Destroya/Destroyer though.

No I didn't It never clicked with me that Shannon was going until she had already boarded her train so I had no way of getting in contact with her, otherwise I would've tried to meet her!

Geez Kailey, do you have to be so obnoxiously attractive all the time? I'm not even a chick and I feel a little insecure looking at you...

We got a fifth new song last night, Destroyer.

Needs moar In Pursuing Design.

Some people will camp overnight but it won't be a substantial number. Turning up at 7am should mean you're close to the front.

pics or it didn't happen...

I confess I really could've done with Impact/Reaction being uploaded like 3 hours ago, could've been watching them by now.

Going to Glasgow.

I didn't even know Newcastle had an airport. Would it be cheaper flying to one of the more commercial airports like Manchester then picking up an advance train ticket to Newcastle? Or am I completely underestimating the cost of Norwegian air travel?

My ticket for Monday still hasn't arrived in the post yet, time to phone up Ticketmaster and complain.

I always thought I saw Vegas live back in 2008. I'm gonna investigate. Could be wrong. The Party Scene, Jasey Rae, Coffee Shop, Umbrella, Let It Roll, Six Feet, The Beach, Dear Maria, Shameless, Champagne. Could have sworn it was more than that, oh well.

I'm skinny but I'm not unhappy with it. I'm just as fit as the next guy, normally takes about a solid hour of football before I'm really exhausted and that's only if I'm playing on the wing. I earned black belts in three different martial arts weighing less than I do right now. My thighs and calves are, and I quote, "built like steel". Normally average about 27 press-ups in 30 seconds. The problem, with me, is that mostly all of the exercise I do is cardio-vascular based and, as such, less time is spent on muscle building/local muscular endurance which is why I look as skinny as I am. I'm not entirely sure what my point is or where I'm going with it. I agree with Harry though, if you're not happy, do something about it. I guess what I was trying to say is that you shouldn't be unhappy about weighing less than anyone else cause you can still do everything these bigger guys can do. If you're really that unhappy with your weight then try to bulk up. Otherwise, do a Kurt Cobain and wear several layers of clothing to hide it for the rest of your life.

Something a little different from my normal "go listen to these bands but I know you never will" threads. Scranton, PA be the home of this excellent little indie rock band. I'd say it's musically comparable to early Manchester Orchestra but the lead singer sounds more like Anthony Ranieri of Bayside-fame. I'd say for fans of bands more like Now, Now, Every Children, Lydia, States et al but there's something there for the fans of general pop punk. Some last.fm/youtube-y goodness for all y'all.
