apollaBecoming a Seller on eBay seems like such hard work, I swear. If any of youse are in the market for a pair of Doors tickets for next Thursday at Wembley, you should check out my tickets!
Also, Journo Law was almost interesting today.
Am off to Newcastle Crown Court tomorrow for a visit. Means I have to fucking get up for a quarter to nine tomorrow morning. Bastards.
Anyway, this cheered me up a bit:
I do not balk at the length of this, for I am a Rock Geek of Distinction. I must note for clarity that I have included some Elvis and not included some Elvis and other albums owned by my beloved father depending, more or less on whether I have/would listened to them. And I claim that we own the Buddy Holly records equally, but don't tell him that, OK? :D
