Firstly, note the new link to the left hand side. Yup, I'm now a Facebook addict as well as Myspace. In fact, Myspace is getting a lot less use. Facebook is the one that seems to be getting my interest at the moment. If you're not already signed up, go for it. It's pretty good once you get into it a bit.
Seriously hacked off with the UEA (University of East Anglia) last week. I got an email on Thursday evening telling me that Faithless were to play there on 13th June. Tickets were going on sale 9am Fri. SO I had a ring round etc and got 3 friends who fancied going too. Fri came and I was camped out on their website. Sure enough, went through all the procedures and bagged 4 tickets. An email confirmation had been sent to my home email address. Job done. Or so I thought...
I got home sure enough, there was the email. Received at 9:04...... along with another one received at about 3:30. The second one said that the gig had been sold out and by booking had been cancelled. WHAT?
One, seriously snotty email later and I got some sort of explanation saying that it had been ridiculously over-subscribed and that a lot of emails, like mine, had gone out by mistake.
Not happy, but not a lot one can do!
Saturday headed out to the lovely town of Aylsham. Did a walk of about 6-7 miles which was lovely. The sun was out for some of it, so managed to start to top up the tan. That was until yesterday...
Had arranged to meet Joe and go and watch some motor racing at Snetterton. Tickets courtesy of the legend that is Nick Bowen.
It was fairly misty when we arrived. Still, we went and had a chat with Nick, and then got ourselves positioned on a viewing bank to watch the first few races before lunch. The grass was still a bit wet, so we were stood for most of it. Approaching lunchtime and the sun was out though.
Heading back to the cars for lunch, a load of "supercars" were parked up. Photos will follow later, but there were Astons, Porsches, Ferraris and an XJ220. You don't see many of those arounf at all.
After lunch, we headed back to the same spot. It was a GT race with some very tasty Astons, Porsches etc. A two hour endurance. Pretty entertaining and eventually won by a biofuel powered Aston.
Unfortunately though, the sun decided to up the strength. Unfortunately, there is no escaping it out there. Typically, you don't quite realise just how powerful it.
By the end of the day, I certainly did know how powerful it had been! Burnt up something rotten!
I'll try and get some pics of the cars on later.
Edit: Here are the pics...
