Watched a wan tying herself in knots trying to use the self-service in Tesco one day, and it dawned on me she was (at least at some point) fairly high up in the local dole office.

Wonder what happened to her usual plebian that she had to muck in with the commoners and fetch her own groceries.

I've never actually heard that bar Being A Girl. Attack Of The Grey Lantern is one of my favourite albums so I was always wary of tarnishing it somehow if the second album was poor.

Went into Dealz about a decade ago for a pack of Hula Hoops, left with Grey Lantern on CD for €1.50.

Will be almost 12 years since original launch by the time it comes out!

My most played single player game ever, but dunno if I'll be able to tackle the DLC due to being burned out on the game by the time the PS5 version showed up (plus they changed stats, so my Death March build no longer worked).

I've had much worse things stuck in my head. And elsewhere.

Olive stones. Merrily munching away on a few and bam. Looks like there's no damage, but that was still the most painful thing to happen me gob since wisdom tooth extraction.

Heavens to Betsy - Calculated.

Yeah I'd take generational wealth vs. being known for writing a few cult classic bangers any day.

His playing is savage on it, particularly Hammerhead and Metal Shock. I remember being stunned when I first heard Doomsday with how obviously talented he was vs. what his 'Tallica Family let him do in their house.

Trujillo is considerably more capable than what he does with Metallica too. 

Aztec Camera - Walk Out to Winter. Banger.

Powerslave all day long, closely followed by SSoaSS. there's a bit of filler on each of the other 80s Brucie albums, and I cannot abide the pub rock shite of the first two at all.

New Model Army- No Rest For The Wicked. Despite being familiar with this band name for a long as I can remeber I don't remember ever listening to them. I've been missing out big time. This album sounds incredible. Early Cure meets Killing Joke? Not a million miles off that. Going to have to find a copy.

If you're inclined towards those "original album" CD boxsets, they have one with five albums (including No Rest for the Wicked).

They're no-frills packages, but five albums for €18 (as it is currently in Golden Discs) is hard to sniff at.

People in customer facing roles wearing headsets just gets to me. One ear on, one ear off, you never know who the cunt is listening to. It's very unprofessional, to my mind. If you're engaged with someone, they should know they have your attention and you have theirs. I always take out the earbuds if I go to a shop and interact with the staff, they should do the same.

This one boils my piss no end. You have to wonder what dickheads in HO decided that the staff not being able to switch off from each other was a good idea, especially when some of them are customer-facing.

I find in turn it makes me a bit less courteous. Like I'd always put my basket back in the stack neatly, but find myself thinking "well if the staff can't be fucked being courteous to customers then I'm not gonna bother me hole being courteous back" and just ditch it.

Some random lad in the supermarket there saying "your t-shirt is immense, I love it" to me. Was wearing my Faith No More "Introduce Yourself" jobby.

I very rarely wear music t-shirts, but any time I do they're acknowledged by strangers. Definitely didn't experience this much in me yoof.

The Frayed Ends of Sanitary.
Trapped Under Shite.
The Call of Kapooloo.
The Thing That Should Not Pee.
The Struggle to Hold It In.

Also gave the new Neroisis another whirl this evening. Mighty jobby altogether.

Paradise Lost - Icon, Shades of God, Gothic.

The only point I can see to this is Rozz is a talentless brokie and needs to ride Chuck's coattails for a few quid again.

I had a listen to Archangel as it popped up on YouTube. Shit should be illegal with how bad it is.
