I have literally just scrobbled my 100,000th track since I joined Last.fm on 27 December 2005 meaning I have played an average of 107 tracks a day.
The song that got the privilege to be song #100,000 was Unit It Sleeps by Metallica, more specifically it was the S&M version.
So nearly two weeks ago I went to see Iron Maiden perform at Twickenham Stadium in London, it was the only UK date on their world Somewhere Back in Time tour. They were supported by Lauren Harris, Within Temptation, and Avenged Sevenfold. I was located towards the rear of the stadium in the stands, where we were plagued by poor sound for all of the support acts and occasionally during Maidens performance itself, the atmosphere when Maiden were playing more than made up for this. With the crowd chanting every lyric with passion, even Bruce was left speechless. Another highlight was I listed to Churchill twice in one day 
The set list was as follows:
Last night I went with my sister and her friend to see Bon Jovi live at Ashton Gate, Bristol. It was an absolutely fantastic gig, the support act (a local band), switchbladeuk, were not that great personally and it was a shame that The Feeling were not supporting. The set list was what you would expect from Bon Jovi with a surprise thrown in, producing a smashing 2 hours of audible pleasure. I also kinda forgot to mention I got to go on stage, for an entire three songs You Give Love a Bad Name, Summertime, and Raise Your Hands because my sister won a competition.

It’s about time I wrote an entry about this amazing opportunity I have been given, I have joined the phpBB development team and I will be helping them with their journey towards the next major release, 3.2 or Ascraeus. Sadly I am currently quite busy with stuff that needs finishing off before I can jump in and start committing, but I am immensely looking forward to being in the thick of it so to speak.

On Thursday 22nd of May a man from Plymouth detonated a device in a café toilet in the newly redeveloped Princesshay shopping area of Exeter. The device was apparently so pathetic some customers in the café did not even hear it. Police sealed off the surrounding area including the High street and the bus station, the main train station (St. David’s) had armed police deployed with all toilet and waiting room facilities locked.

… about this. Well more likely is I am just being too lazy. But it has been quite a while since I wrote anything of much substance up here, currently I am unable to sleep which sucks somewhat. I’ve been very busy as of late, I’ve finished my quite frankly ludicrous 5 week “Easter” “break” where I did not much but work, bum around, and drove places. So I am back at the grindstone that is university, ploughing through coursework at such a rate I guess I could describe as “relaxed” but that maybe pushing definition boundaries. I’m looking forward to next week when the last of my coursework is handed in and I am free to revise for exams, oh heck!
I’ve had a new desktop for the latter part of April inspired by a trip to Weston’s Cider of Much Marcle, Herefordshire over me holiday.
I am moving towards a landmark on last.fm, 100 000 tracks played. Not decided what will be my 100 000th track hopefully I don’t go over it by mistake with something non-worthy.
I leave you with the thought, why would a dairy company write “Allergy information: contains milk” on the side of a bottle of milk? Surely that is the whole idea? Or maybe I am missing something…
