I've just received a demand for £76.06 from the above "debt collectors" on behalf of PayPal. Funny thing is, my PayPal account is in credit and anything I've bought from eBay has been paid for immediately.

Bring it on.

Their first European festival of 2007 is booked. I'm there!

Went up to the top of Primrose Hill to watch the comet. Just about caught it before it dipped behind the cloud. Definitely worth the hike!

This was a GREAT gig. It didn't matter that this was their first with this lineup nor that it was a sterile community centre with a scattering of people and a dog on a string. The guys totally kicked out teh RAWK! If you're in Camden next week, you MUST see them!

MJD on the nutters.

Polly Toynbee on the religious homophobes.

I love living in Camden. Spent about two hours wandering round Camden, Chalk Farm and Primrose Hill on Saturday :)

The Counterfeits, Cargo

A good night. Excellent venue, wonderful bar staff, good crowd, followed, bizarrely, by a hard-dub crew and a rocking performance from the chaps. Nice one!
