Sorry Bloggers but I'm still offline at home. I know you're missing my rants!
THere's so much as well! Crap Winter Olympic coverage by the BBC (At least use attractive women to present the show and not a horse and some Scottish bird!), grit everywhere (any council need some they can get it from every nook and cranny in my house! Thanks Rushcliffe. You going to pay to replace the scratched floor boards? It's not my fault there's so many half-witted, clumsy twats out there!), the weather (yes it's there, deal with it!) and many, many other things!
I will try and get more on here soon. We're still very, very poor :-(

Lostprophets
I fulfilled a dream on the 7th February 2010. It's not often that this can be said but I did.
Everyone has ridiculous dreams, like winning the lottery, living in a mansion, supermodel orgies....then there are the ones that may happen should things work out right.
I have several of these. Be in America to watch a Superbowl on TV, own a nice car, have a job I want.....then each of these may have an even harder sub section......get tickets to see the Superbowl, own an Autin Martin, work for a major video game company.....
Well I have acheived a few of these goals already. The most notable are:
-Not only getting married but marrying a sexy stunner
-Not only having kids but having 2 beautiful, healthy daughters
-Not only seeing Wales win a Grand Slam but seeing them live at Millenium Stadium
So, back to the 7th Feb. I'm not a live music person. However I would like to see 3 bands (having seen Faith No More inmy teens!); Foo Fighters, Aerosmith and, for most of this decade, Lostprohets. The additional sub section for this is to see them at the mighty Rock City. I'd given up the ghost on the Rock City part as I thought they'd all be too big to play there.
Then They came (turns out it was the 4th time they'd played there but I'm not an up-to-date music person so didn't realise!!).
The Prophets at Rock City! I risked everything in October and used our last £50 to get tickets. I kept the secret from my lovely wife until Christmas (which was so hard as she is obsessed with them as well!). Then we went.
Aside from the fact that it was the first time in over a year that we'd been able to go out together (thanks sexy Jen for baby sitting) this night was amazing. Queueing was exciting. Seeing the mix of people was amazing. Even catching a glimpse of the Hexes guitarist with fag in mouth getting a bag from the ex-Royal Mail van (even thought we had no idea who he was!) was great!
I'm not going to go into details about the gig, but the support acts were brilliant (The Hexes and Kids in Glass Houses) and the Lostprophets were...well perfect. It bettered anything I thought possible. The show was amazing. Some songs nearly brought tears to my eyes. Funny in places ("What's that? The fucking universal hand signal for Godzilla?)" Genius!) and musically just FUCKING GREAT!!!!
One other point. Seeing nearly 3,000 people in the Rock capital of the world, worshipping 5 Welshmen like that reminded me how proud I am to be Welsh. We rule the world!!
I'm now trying to raise money for the newly instated CIA gig on 1st May. Am I allowed to sell children on ebay? £54 seems like a million!
Anyway, guys if you happen to stumble across this blog, I want to thank you for a great night and hope to see you play again soon. My wife wants to profess her love for you all and she's yours if I can have tickets and backstage passes and a few drinks with you all!!!
Lostprophets. Rock Gods!!!!
