As promised the new e-mail alert thing has been set up so now you can avoid all the dross that I write and just look at it if you want to. Got some more photos onto the web again today so take a look. I'm orf to see Goldfrapp on Friday night, really looking froward to that, and then going down to London to see Phil until Tuesday. Also bought the new Chris Whitley album today. I've not listened to it yet but for a preview check the links to the left, I think I've linked to his web page there. Sounds like it'll as genius as his previous offerings from the reviews but one can never tell untiil it has been listened to.

Manchesters comedy festival starts today so there's going to be no shortage of things to around here for the next few days. Speaking of which, I went to the comedy night at Bar XS the other night. Absolutely class is alls I can say and I recommend it to anyone living and bored in Manchester on a Tuesday night. Best to get there early though as it was rammed.

Well, it turns out Tony had drunk too much coffee. Shame, poor him. Should have stuck to the herbal tea, Tone. Anyway, just wanted to point out that the updates you lucky subscribers delete on a regular basis will be changing. You'll only get the first few lines and then have to go to the site to get the rest. I've basically only done that so if something looks like it's going to interest you then you can have a gander but it'll save you the trouble of trawling through mindless ramblings such as these. Any objections or suggestions are, as always, welcome to be lodged at the great looking and technically brilliant (but much under used) comments facility. Yes, it still only takes a couple of clicks to sound off.

For all of those present for Katy's leaving do (and those that weren't there but should have been) can see the pictures in the 'photographs' section above. Just look for the appropriate public album. Oh, and any of those who didn't know, Katy had a leaving do because she's doing a runner to Oz for three months. Lucky girl!

I'll leave you now with a joke that Mr Glanville sent me today. It's very un PC but still raised a chuckle out of me:

What's good about having sex with twenty-eaight year olds?

There's twenty of them.

Hmmm, what does anyone reckon to Blair chucking a sicky? I think it's all very suspect personally. He falls out of favour with the public and then goes for the sympathy vote. Dodgy git. Oh and the pictures from Katie's leaving do (where were you Gareth Moore??????) should be up tomorrow. Just couldn't be bothered going into town today.

*Sigh* I'm still in Manchester. Will I ever get to go away? Who knows. And what's stopping me from going? The thesis of course. The bloody thesis. Both my tutors have got back to me now which is good and they've made a few recommendations. Once they're incorporated (sounds easy when I say it like that) then I'll be ready to hand in. Thank god. I'll be able to see the back of that thing at last. Some new photos on the lomo site. I'll have to calm down on the photo taking front or I'll be flat broke before I know it.

Had a call from Phil yesterday saying he'd had a bit of trouble viewing my pictures. If he's having difficulty no doubt a few of you are (those of you that want a look). So the way to do it is to go to the blog webite firs. http://revolicktion.blogspot.com At the top of the page just below the title click on 'photographs'. That should open up a new window that's green and has a couple of photos on it. Scroll down and click on the picture of Jess that says public albums. Again look for the public albums bit and click on Jess again. Now a wall of pictures should appear. Look at them like that or just click on one of them to scroll through them one by one. Easy
