I have had all sorts of problems getting fucking Vimeo to upload the videos, but as soon as they're ready it will be published - probably early tomorrow afternoon. There was a fuck up.

One of these folks was actually the artist of said painting. 2)Pilates 3)Late night drunken urban free climbing 4)Musicals. What the fuck is the point in musicals? Any situation where people spontaneously burst into song for no apparent reason is too daft for my liking. 5)Wine making is an art, as is wine tasting. I have qualifications in it, thus separating me from the average drunk. I do like an '03 Meursault to be honest. Matthew, my apologies, I got so carried away I forgot about my 5!

But White Heath have at least two decent sound guys in the band, their sound guy Alex was in the audience and Neil and Phil (Meursault & Debutant) are also perfectly capable. So the guy behind the actual desk was probably the least qualified person in the room to actually be doing what he was doing. Well I was horrified and I have no clue what to put right.
