AHR�YEPH

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Am I the only one who thinks that Ahrayéph is going to be an utterly *banging* experience as life act on future festivals&concerts?

I've only been at three concerts this year and two of them were in Belgium, what's all that about then?

Looks like gigs might be off the list for a while : got caught driving drunk and a hefty fine will thwart any attempt to keep my head above water for some time to come. My own fault, true. That's life...

Holy Fcuk! :evil:

Yeap, own fault an'all but you're one of them guys like me that 'drink some but not too much while driving'... at least I think you are ;)

Hope it's not too expensive. OTOH, I got caught in 1998 and I learned my lesson. So it's all for greater good really ;D

Well, at least it's better to get fined than to bump into stuff, I suppose :|

I guess you have nothing better to do now as staying at home and writing some new tunes :innocent:
(I hope for you it won't be too costly though)

Pleading a 'No Contest' - which I did : you do the crime, you pay the fine - will still cost me 400 euros. Contesting it in court would certainly cost me 1100 they told me. I was pissed last night, so I decided to get pished at the 33's 11th anniversary. Bad - and costly - idea. Now I'm even more pissed - at myself - and broke to boot. The ideal combination for a musician to make some good music in order to escape the life he/she leads, so the story goes (trying to see the positive side of it)...

I kind of gained the impression in February that it was illegal to drive sober in Belgium... :innocent:

It's a costly lesson... which is a bummer for Raf and for us, his eager legions :wink: ... but better to learn it this way than the really hard way :urff: . I was genuinely quite taken aback by the culture regarding drinking and driving when I came over there - in February I was very worried about some of you getting behind the wheel after JH de Moeve. I really had to restrain myself as I didn't want to sound like everyone's mother :lol: :oops:

As a driver, even I wondered Claire, imagine what his fine/punishment would've been over here? Afterall, I was the man who stood at a lamp post outside the art school union in Dundee after a serious nights bevvying and decided to put my kagool (it was the 70s, gimme a break) on as it was raining and I had a long walk in front of me - I put it over my napper, heard a screech and one almichty crunch - my head popped out the top of the kagool (Ok, I was young, in my teens, honest!) to be confronted by a car wrapped around the lamp post I was standing at. I went into shock and had to be ushered back inside the union where I was administered further bevvy until I snapped out of it. The driver was some old jaikie, pished aff his face which was a bit of a mess after it hit the steering wheel - pre seatbelt law y'see.

True story. :|

I got caught in 1998, cost me at about 500 euro.

I learnt my lesson. Three beers max, during a time-span of a couple of hours. And water in between.

Or no driving at all.

It ain't worth the risk.
Not of getting caught and paying the fine. I mean the risk of ruining your life and not being able to look in a mirror anymore after you mowed a kid off the road due to drunk driving.

OTOH, there's a serious need for heavy fines for people too tired to drive as well. Almost got hit by one once who apologised and told me that he was not drunk, only very tired. As if it makes an effing difference :evil:

Oi! Bloody Oi, Iz!!

For the towing service I had one 23-hours shift. I was all alone on the transporter, and I tell you, that was a scary experience.
