`Journey' after shave this morning, it's very smelly! The blurb says "Journey
- a powerful accord of precious woods and spices, a symphony of cedarwood, sandalwood,
coriander, pepper and nutmeg... The most important journey a man can make is
the one to discover himself... from the striking citrus elements of the top
note, through the lightly textured florals to the warm, mossy amber signature..."
Well, okay. Yeah, it's pleasant and it's nice to notice all the elements, but
for fuck's sake it's just a smell!!! Now how the hell can I get £1000?

Xmas eve: What a fucker of a day - and I have still got
a gig to do! Began with a hangover (or was itI?), with Danny Baker's Xmas bash
on the radio. I was angry again on the tube, angry with cretins calling my name
at work, then angry being driven home by Paul with the gear, then angry because
I had to go out and shop for cards & presents, then I fucking FELL OVER AND
GRAZED MY KNEE, ripping my jeans, then disappointed because the coverdisks with
PCFormat mag wouldn't load, and now I'm off to the Vic! Sonofabitch!!!
