NME Staff Party/ Alec Empire's Says Don't Mess with Pong

Yesterday was such a strange day. I went to an NME staff leaving party at Old Blue Last, and then saw Gaggle play upstairs. For those of you who don't know, Gaggle are a 22 piece all girl band - kind of like a choir in neon burhkas. They were amazing! At the party downstairs an Italian man recognised me at the bar. He knew my name and that i was in Applicants - I felt really famous for a minute, until I found out he only knew me because we got the bus home together a couple of times. On the way home one of the NME staff told me off for not tucking my shirt in. I felt like I was 12 years old. Tom Tigertrap was wearing a Comanechi T-Shirt, and then Akiko from the band turned up and I think she jumped on him. She was the most drunk I think I have ever seen someone, and that's really saying something being a member of Applicants.

Went home and had a Facebook chat with Alec Empire of all people. Hadn't spoke to him for possibly 9 years. We talked about Pong. I said Pong would be better if you had a missile that could shoot the other person's bat at the same time. He said that was messing with nature.

Worcester Sauce


I wanted to make a shepherd's pie once, so i bought some Lea and Perrins Worcestershire sauce as I had been told that it is a key ingredient. About 6 months after this shepherds pie the bottle is still rather full, so I've taken to putting dashes of it into everything I cook. The weird thing is though, just as I've put it in whatever I've cooking, I'll say to myself "and now a taste of home"... despite not ever living in Worcester. This has been going on for about a month now! Where is this going to end?!
