My exam is is four and a half hours. sad.gif

I just need to moan about something trivial:

The shop at the Art School sells, by sheet, a great type of paper that we all use. I was with a fellow student when she bought all 12 sheets they had left. She said rather smugly that what she didn't use she was putting into storage as she was moving house. I suggested she might leave some in case others needed it but that went right over her head and she bought it all anyway. The shop does a stock-take in August so won't have any more until sometime after that.

Another fellow student is having a panic attack because she needs this paper for her degree show.... in August (pg degree show). I have 3 sheets left and can give my friend 1.5 - 2 sheets of it because I will need a sheet for the show myself.

I'm so mad mad.gif I might be left short now too and the only person that has the stuff has stuck it in storage.

Some people are so GREEDY.

(okay feel better now I've moaned smile.gif )

That's very tedious, Lottie - can you get the paper online? sad.gif

A little corn bug fellow has just been crawling around 'inside' my computer screen! He must have been nible to get in. He's gone now, probably causing havoc further behind the scenes..

Quick thought-

Does anyone here listen to any 'normal' music?

Cos on the "what are you listening to?" thread it's all very classicaley.

Anyone a fan of Katy Perry? The Killers? Lily Allen? Lady Gaga? The Noisettes? etc etc etc

Well OK, last night on the train home I listened to some Grinderman having discovered I hadn't copied Queens of the Stone Age to my iPod.

I grew up with 1970s prog rock and often find myself listening to Led Zep or similar. The odd really good band pops up on Jools show from time to time, but I can't think of any offhand.

I was lucky enough to see Focus a couple of times back in the old days when I were a lad. Really excellent musicians.

I don't really listen to classical music, I just sing it occasionally. That probably makes me a Bad Musician, but I don't care (much).

I like 'normal music', rock, etc. I like dance music, but only in clubs, nowhere else, and my true love is musical theatre. I also like country, especially when I'm miserable.

I don't like Lady Gaga though, and Katy Perry actually makes me ill. I really dislike her music a lot. I'm listening to Taylor Swift now, and earlier I was listening to Eva Cassidy, and yesterday I was listening to Brand New. smile.gif

Noooo, it's great!!!!
I used to hate it... but then in dance at school, we were allowed to do a dance to whatever, and loads of girls in my class blasted out all of this music, and it was great!!
I like music like that to pick me up, and make me jump around and dance a bit

You can hardly dance to classical music.

I love Shake it by Metro Station, or I Just Can't Get Enough by the Saturdays, or Hot N Cold by Katy Perry.
When everyone's out, I put it on the stereo and jump around the house. The kittens give me funny looks.

Still, it's not for everyone.

Add me to the list...I like all of those bands haha...in fact, I'll listen to pretty much anything laugh.gif I'm always amazed when people are shocked by the fact that I like Mozart AND Lady Gaga AND Stone Sour AND Led Zeppelin AND loads of other things, from my era or not!

Incidentally, Lady Gaga is VERY good live, in fact better than her recordings I think...she was the support when I saw Take That a few weeks ago and whilst rather err, provocotive, and crazy as laugh.gif but she's got a great voice and is a very talented pianist too!

So it seems - http://www.focustheband.com/english.html
Not the original lineup (as is usually the case with reunions) though Thijs van Leer is still there.
Oh and Wishbone Ash are "Martin Turner's Wishbone Ash" containing 1 member of the original line-up - yes Martin Turner. Not to be confused with "Wishbone Ash" containing 1 other original member, Andy Powell.
As for the Groundhogs - well Tony McPhee is still there but I don't know about the rest of the line up.

Blimey, there's more. It seems there are some other old s ohmy.gif ds having a go. Curved Air would you believe? Anyone remember Sonja Kristina? If my previous experience of going to see them is anything to go by, they won't turn up.
