Nine Inch Nails 1994 & other stuff !!

Hi again World's !!

It's another Tuesday, here in England & it feels really chilly outside !! I'm sat here at the computer & B just left the back door open for a split second - the cold that came pouring in, was enough to freeze the fabled balls off of a brass monkey !!

No - I'm not being rude !! Canon balls, used to be kept on a square thing, called a brass monkey. This way, on board a sailing ship, in times long gone, they could be piled high, gradually tapering off. Unfortunately, when the weather turned cold - the "brass monkey" would contract, in the cooler conditions and the balls would fall off !! Hence the old phrase.... Ho-hum !!

Right - as I type, B is home with me.... a little later, ME - our daughter - is coming to visit, either before or after a visit to our local Dr's surgery........ I'm not sure exactly, what time that will be, but !!

As I type - the TV is on, playing quietly, in the corner..... our fated Prime Minister is talking about the upcoming referendum, into our staying in the EU.

It's all very surreal - as you have politicians, who under normal conditions, would be arch enemies, fighting to stay in & others, who are meant to be from the same "party" - fighting against each other !! All very weird !!

I do feel sorry for our PM - not enough to vote for him - but, he could be known, as the guy who took us out of the EU !! His place in history, is not what he might have hoped it would be !!

I've a feeling - we might find ourselves, voting to come out of Europe. With all of the migrant problems, people are not looking towards the future.... just the now. They don't want more & more migrants here, in the UK - sooooo.... they will vote to take us out !! That could cause more problems, long term for us, here in our part of England.... I don't really know...... I'm no expert & that's a fact !!

The vote is not until June 23rd (I think) so there is plenty of time, for people to change their minds, in the run up to the vote. Time will tell - at least we're all getting a vote...... that's good !!

Right - a bit of news, on the dressings front......

The Vac pump - Gordon - might be coming off, again !! I'm a little confused about the whole thing, but it seems that he is not doing a very good job, at the moment, sooooo - he might come off & a regular dressing put on, in his place.

I saw the nurse, at the hospital, yesterday and she feels I might be better off, without a pump in place. Me - I'll just go along with the flow !! If they decide to remove Gordon, tomorrow - that's fine by me. I'll leave it up to those who know more about these things...... I will let you know - that's for tomorrow !!

Coming back to today. I've been watching re-runs of 'Game Of Thrones' Season 5. With Season 6 about to be shown, I wanted to have a quick reminder about how things went. It's nearly been a year, since the last season finished !! Hopefully, the box set, with all of the extras and stuff. If you get the chance - watch the TV shows... or at least, read the books !!

Staying with older DVD's.... In the supermarket yesterday, I saw all 6 'Star Wars' films, for £30 !! I am not a big SW's fan, I even gave away all of the pre-recorded videos we had, of the first 3 films, but !! I might buy the 6 movies, on DVD.... just to watch them, at some point down the line.....

Right, the music of the moment......

I've been listening to 'Things Falling Apart' by Nine Inch Nails !! I'm not too sure how long I've had this Cd - I came across it by accident, as it was collecting dust, on the shelf !!

The tracks are:

  1) Slipping Away
  2) The Great Collapse
  3) The Wretched
  4) Starfuckers Inc #1
  5) The Frail
  6) Starfuckers Inc #2
  7) Where Is Everybody
  8) Metal
  9) 10 Miles High
10) Starfuckers Inc #3

It seems that it came out in 2000 - 15+ years ago & I forgot I actually had a copy !! Oh well.... it's all good, especially the 3 versions of 'Starfuckers Inc' !! Play is loud & then turn it up again !!

I've had a soft spot for the Nails, since seeing/hearing them at Woodstock, back in 1994. After that performance, I was just hooked & that's a fact...... Seeing them, come on stage, covered in mud & thrashing their set out, until the instruments were trashed.... it was a real eye opener & that's fact !! Oh well.....

Right - my plans for today...... well, none at all really !! I want to do a bit more, in the ways of recording, but - that's about it. It's not much of a plan, but it's all I've got + it takes my mind off my various aches & pains......

So, I will be on my ways. I thank you for logging in & for reading my words.... until next time....

Bye Bye
