If you were working in my school you'd be expected to stay out until you were sick.
Don't do that 'sick' thing, never had a day off since I've been teaching. I like to 'share' anything I have, in an attempt to deplete the class further ;)

Who said anything about days off? :twisted: I recommend sitting at your desk with a bucket on the floor. Teaches the kids what rock'n'roll is really about.
Tip: 'Coughs and sneezes spead diseases', but I find that asking kids to 'be quiet this morning as I really feel not well at all actually' and putting your head on the desk tends to result in a) quiet children and b) much better work being produced.

God! I remember having to do that... although in my later years at school it sometimes happened involuntarily, as I started to stay up later and later... :oops: :lol:

I believe some people of our acquaintance stuff their head with ice. A desk's the last thing they need at that point....

Absolutely s**t craftsmanship. Von should put the heads of who ever slapped that together up on pikes infront of the venue. :roll:

Nah, that's reserved for support bands.

As pretty as The Ivories would be in contrast to the dingy facade of the Manchester Academy, I'd rather, y'know, listen to them play ;)

Never heard them.
Have a damn fine time at the concert.

Altho, I do believe that one client today wanted to put my head somplace like that.. :lol:

Hey thanks for sharing Motz, interesting group.... :notworthy:
Much better opener then The Warlocks. Not that I hated the Locks.
I rather liked the sound, it just all sounded pretty much the same. :?

So then, any congregation beforehand?

I'll probably hang around in the Salisbury for a bit, as and when I arrive (all down to dad, that one ;)) unless anyone suggests otherwise.
