Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...


Recommended Posts

We went into the studio tonight for the first time since our gig the other week, and upon opening up my bag I noticed my bass is fucked. I spent 20 minutes with a guy that works there trying to come up with some sort of rubber/gaffa tape solution, and eventually it was sorted.

I'm going to need to take it in to get fixed, but I have a gig this Saturday and again on the following Saturday. I might try and hope for the best, but I know exactly what will happen if I do that.....

What's up with it?

Basically, the little plate that goes round the jack is gubbed. Smashed to pieces. I must have dropped my bass, or at least smacked it off something. The jack was back inside the bass, so we took a bit of rubber, cut a small hole in it and forced the jack through, then taped it to the sides. It's a short term solution, but one that I'm hoping will see me through the next few gigs, as I don't have a backup.

He probably has more chance of getting into HSF's knickers. :lol:

There are 2 men in my flat just now, fixing "damp" in one of the bedrooms. (It's not damp, he actually just left his shower on after a drunken night and it flooded his bedroom.) They are making one hell of a noise and have just set the fire alarm off.

Sounds like the opening scenes of a really shit porno.

"I'm here to fix your damp?"

It upsets me when people call the acting and scripts in pornos. They can't help it - they are just there to screw. Maybe they should have doubles to do the bits they struggle with like Hollywood actors have stunt doubles.

There's a couple I always see at the swimming pool who I fucking detest. The woman is extremely fat and insists on wearing a bikini so her MASSIVE stomach is on display at all times (she sepnds most of her time wandering around the side of the pool watching her kid splash about).

The husband (who actually has a very athletic build) is always grabbing her, rubbing his hands on her stomach and kissing her. One day I'm just going to lose my cool and shout something at them.

They make me sick.

I thought petting was frowned upon in swimming pools? Or is it just heavy petting that's not allowed?

I'm not sure why their appearance should have any bearing on the issue though.

It's because the woman is so inappropriately dressed for her size, and shoot me down for saying it, but seeing rolls and rolls of fat on a horrid looking woman repulses me. That combined with the touchy feely just drives me over the edge. Their kid was once legging it around the side of the pool unchecked, slipped, faceplanted and began crying. Oh how I laughed!

There are a few other serial petters and although it irks me, my rage for them is minial. If you want to heavy pet each other, go to the steam room - that's what it's there for!

Are postmen ever NOT striking? I guess it explains how the post is so shit around where I live.

I never thought of that.

Fair enough about the touchy feely and unchecked kids. Luckily there are no kids at the gym and pool I go to, although I have noted touchy feely in the spa bath and pool itself.

I tend to vary the times I go depending on what I plan to do. There are about 3 lanes worth marked off for people who want to do laps (you swim in an anti clockwise direction and there's room for overtaking) and then another area for less quick swimmers and people with kids.

The kids are only ever in up til 5pm and 99% of the time they are well behaved and cause me no hassle because they're in the other section. This particular couples' kid doesn't do anything wrong either, but I see him as guilty by association.

I met my ex at the gym and needless to say after our swim we'd always have 20 mins in the steam room to 'relax'.
