Theres a new poll for you under the links. In the mean time heres a picture of your favourite Libertine to oogle over. Looks too much like Rossti for me!

I get by with a little help from my friends.

Eventful weekends are always the most memorable, whether they are good or bad. You all know what happened to me on Friday night was shit (the bruising is way better now), but I'm so proud to have mates like you guys. It really is amazing. Saturday night was great, really relaxed. Everyone seems so happy and satisfied with life. If your'e not, let me know! I've got the best mates ever, the most wonderfully beautiful amazing girlfriend and all is well in my world. Be good to yourselves.

Meet The Traders

Theres a new page to drool over. It's called Meet The Traders. The first three bios are up (Lou, Chris and Char). I'll add some more very soon. I need bios from Ross, Moon and Liz for it to be completed. Theres a link in the links section (where else would it be?!).

Photos for your beautiful eyes

Mmmmmmm, just look at that body!

Some new pictures are on the Photos Page for your viewing, expect loads more soon!

Did u see the stylish kids in the riot?

I've just had the most incredible sense of longing for The Libertines. It makes me sad to see something so unbelieveably incredible fall to pieces. However, it does seem to be picking up a bit with the "meeting" a few weeks back. Hopefully, if they ever did create a third album it would be as good as Up The Bracket, which could actually turn out to be an impossible feat. "The Libertines" is such an awful album, the songs on it aren't bad, you can just tell it wasn't recorded in the rough edgy all together way Up The Bracket was. I was lucky enough to see them live a couple of times and it was one of the best experiences of my life. Long live the Albion!

This picture sums it up.

Theres a poll on the side of the page.

"Spending warm summer days indoors...

...wrting frightning verse to a buck-toothed girl in Luxembourg."
"Nature is a language can't you read." I've just started re-reading "Fiesta" by Ernest Hemmingway and its so dreamy, it puts me in a great mood. Don't know why because it's not exactly the most up-lifting story, it's just nice.
Anyway, I think I've finally worked out how to use MY SPACE. It's not all that bad y'know. Sure, its a tad pretentious and theres many prats on there. If you search hard enough though you can find some really cool people and some amazing bands with listening posts and fancy words.

Here you go....


Ben Trader on My Space, oooooh!

....Meet The Traders soon...... ;-)

Une Annee Sans Lumiere

This weekend was truly fantastic. Thursday night was a civilised drink in the Roundabout, Friday was a raucos Rye night and Saturday was........a happy blur! Everyone seems so happy and settled at the moment, it's truly incredible. I think it's because summer is arriving, work is getting nice and college is finishing soon. Love is in the air too. Be good to each other, I hope we all stick together because these weekends are slowly running out before people move away to uni and start travelling and settling down. Cherish every moment, I'm learning to do so and it's made me a better person. I have so many people to thank for this and if I listed them all we would be here all night, you know who you are anyway. Love each other with a passion.

I've written a new review, obviously on the Reviews Page.
I discovered Coco Rosie today with thanks to Scandal. It's a truly uplifting, beautiful experience. Find them out, they're almost as good as love.

Heres a couple of quotes from Amelie that make me smile:
"A woman without love wilts like a flower without sun."
"Without you, todays emotions would be the scurf of yesterdays."

Watched it again today. Never fails to make me appreciate life.

Birthday Time!

Happy Birthday to Louise for Thursday just gone and I hope you have wonderous celebrations tonight!

Traders Birthdays always rule!

Here's A Real Update

Well well well, sorry about not posting much yesterday but i wasn't in the mood! A couple of thanking yous have to go out to Rosstipop for having us over for the sexiest BBQ ever on Sunday and to Paul and Chappers for the studio loving on Saturday night (Tendon is beautiful and The People Who Have No End(title?) is even more so).

A Lot Can Happen In A Week

Wow, a whole wondefrul week has passed by so beautifully quick and there hasn't been any updates. A major thank you has to go to Chrissy for the quality sauna party and to the Smyly family for having a nice house. Watly Fest was kinda nice in the sun, its a pretty town. Could be better if it wasn't full of ageing hippies, annoyingly similar teenage girls and bloody BMXers!!! Nice bank holiday weekend.
So, the French voted NO, the Live 8 concert was announced, The Cure have changed their line up, The Strokes have nearly completed another album and those damn Liverpool fans haven't stopped going on about that flukey win. Not much else to report on apart from there being two new Charlotte poems on the Reviews Page (think I may have to change that to Poems Page soon, someone write a review!).
I'm working in Louise's next door neighbours house tomorrow, wierd!

Heres a selection of Smyly's Traders Photos:


More on the Photos Page, shhhh don't tell Chris! Watly Dirt Rules!
