Last night Ross & I tripped down to hang out with F2 and Kevin at Kevin’s place. Kevin we met briefly at the Arcade Fire concert the other week. They’d already been playing the Wii for a bit, and gotten into some wine, so the “your mom” jokes were pretty much the staple of the… Read more
My car insurance is finally sorted… well, supposedly.

I didn’t mind them much at all, but no-one else seemed particularly impressed. All in all it was pretty good. LCD Soundsystem were pretty good, and the Arcade… Read more
