This website now has one purpose: to promote the band whose logo you see above. If anyone i know is still reading this then Hello! nice of you to join me, sorry i haven't written anything for months.

I have a feeling, as i write this, that i might actually create a new blog and have that as my Layers Site. The definitive article is as-yet-undecided-upon. I like it in the logo but don't like the fact all bands are currently THE something or other, and always have been. The Verve were a better band when they were Verve. Mansun didn't need to be called The Mansun. Layers. Layers. Layers.

Or should we be called County Fair Explosion?

Testing... Testing...

GTA: San Andreas, the new Harry Potter book are 2 of the things stopping me from writing on here. Now that i have started paying towards the internet again this means i am able to spend a bit of time updating this. It doesn't really matter that i should be working on the UAT report for Friday, as i am supposed to be "working from home" today, but of course this blog was started when i had plenty of work-time to spend on the internet.

This is just a hello! to test if there is anyone still out there and also to test Bloggers new phot loading thing. Is it as good as Hello?

Executive Lifestyle

Hello! Is there anyone out there? Has anyone checked this page for any period of time? I know i haven't but that stems from not having access to the internet, and when i can access it not being bothered to write who i am or where i am or what i'm doing. It's all too much.

Currently i'm sat in the large offices of a large consultant firm who live just behind Victoria Train Station in London.

No Access

Not able to use a computer much at the moment. Well, not one that goes on the internet anyway. Our computer has stopped working properly and our ISP runs out at the end of the month. Oh Well! Downloading stuff was good fun, and i miss new music. New music was good and i will eventually buy the stuff i keep, but i just can't throw money at CD's and records the way i have in the past. I spent £5 on 'media' at the weekend. That it was second-hand bothers me very little. At a car boot sale on Nottingham Racecourse i bought: A mint condition 7" of The Model by Kraftwerk, which has the greatest B-side, called Computer Love, A mint condition tape-cassette of Hatfull of Hollow by The Smiths, '77 & Remain in Light by Talking Heads on 12" and So Much Trouble in the World on 7" too. I finally got back to York and set about my record collection with some WD-40. (So called because it was the 40th formula for a Water Displacement product.) Kym and Aggie from TV told me to do this once. It worked a treat on all my shafted second hand vinyl.

I'd write more but i've got to go.

How does one write a post nearly a month after last posting? Hang on... more than one month after ones last post?

Well first things first, i could tell you that i'm writing this sat at my desk in the prison i work in, but that would only be surprising if you understand the fact that we don't have internet access in prisons (well we do but you can only view .gov.uk and bbc websites). Subsequently i'm almost contravening Her Maj's Rules, as i now have one laptop on the Prison Service network, and because i'm travelling down to London tomorrow to stay over and give a presentation on Friday, i have another laptop which acts as a standalone server for the software i 'look after'. This second laptop can access the internet as well as being able to play DVD's, and as i found out last night, GTA 3. Now i've never seen a laptop running a game and i was mightily impressed particularly because it's not the newest of laptops, but also because it means i could, if i wanted, take it on the train and play GTA all the way down to London. I'd be surprised if the battery lasted that long so instead i shall make sure it's fully charged and watch a DVD with my headphones on.

Whilst the day to day of my job is still dull drudgery, it is at least getting a touch more exciting, and it is this excitement that i shall attempt to elaborate upon over the next few days.

Oh yes it's nearly Cristmas too...

Only three days til Kleptomania

Another week has reached it's end, earlyish thankfully. So i'm sat listening to M83 whilst i'm writing this. I must say i like it a lot and this is just my first listen. I'd heard they were like My Bloody Valentine, and i'd agree from what i've heard so far. It sounds too, like Jean Michel Jarre and Sven Vath behind the warm distortion. I wish i could listen to music at work somehow.

Because i'm in the large, open-plan office, where there are no radios, i only hear distant or brief bits of music throughout the day. I f i could listen to music like this whilst at work, i probably wouldn't do a great deal. I'd just sit, staring at the sky through what classes as windows in an ex Naval base-entertainments hall, with 3 foot thick blast-proof walls. Or perhaps gaze at the plant i purloined from a corridor months ago. Hmm. Alternatively, use flexi-time and go home.

Had a pint of Guinness at lunchtime which was just lovely. Saying good bye to one of the Uniformed Caseworkers, which is to say a caseworker who is also a prison officer, leaving for a job, this one less than 4 miles, rather than Wetherby at 49 miles from his home. Didn't have anything to eat, one grazes all day in the Civil Service, so the Guinness sat nicely in me, but left me wanting more. Thus i didn't really get much done. Not that much gets done anyway, but...

I can't be bothered to Rant so i'll juts tell you that the picture above is from Calke Abbey, in the east midlands of England, out in their conservatory.
