I’ve got time to write a little something before getting into my New Years Eve glad rags. Firstly, I want to thank everyone who’s continued visiting despite the updates being few and far between, especially those who’ve taken the time to post comments. Normally I consider it only polite to respond to comments, but due to the amount of work I’ve had on these last six months, I’ve not always managed to do so (I see a new year’s resolution forming here…). So a belated apology for any unitentional rudeness.

In particular I want to thank Rachel from North London for taking the trouble to check her referrers and post a thank you for linking to her site back in November. If you’re not familiar with Rachel’s blog, I highly recommend checking it out; in it Rachel writes, among other things, about her experiences as a survivor of the July 7th bombings, and shares her thoughts on the government’s anti-terror legislation. Articulate, intelligent, funny and moving — definitely my blog of the year.

I also want to thank ‘Duff’ Gallagher, keyboard player with the Flaming Doo Dits for his comment on my Glastonbury post. Glastonbury was definitely the highlight of my year, and watching Lucifire and the Flaming Doo Dits’s zombie pirate swing in the Chapel of Love & Loathing was the high point of Glastonbury. (You can listen to some sample Flaming Doo Dits tracks here).

Right, time to get ready to party like it’s 1999. Chin chin!

Assuming I get through my long list of to-dos for today, I’ll post properly later on. In the meantime, I want to wish you all a Happy Festivus!

One of the essential parts of the Festivus for the rest of us is airing of grievances, and I fully intend to honour this tradition by posting a big, sweary rant about Antec’s crap PSUs and their piss-poor customer service shortly.

Right, I’m off to erect my pole…

Perhaps I should rename my site Badger’s World of Shame; I’ve had such a busy couple of months that my blog has had to take a back seat. Anyway, I’ll save that for another time… for now what I want to say is that I arrived back at home in London at 6pm today, left the house at 6.01pm, and went off to see the Foo Fighters at Earl’s Court.

It’s late, I’m very tired and a little drunk, so I’ll restrict it to this: Dave Grohl fucking rocks.
