Interesting story about the last time I was in Amsterdam. I met this Canadian street artist who would do magic tricks and escape from a straight jacket as his act. He would have to dislocate his shoulder as part of his show getting out of this straight jacket. I would sit around everyday getting drunk with him and his entourage from all over the world and he would do his act for beer money. I told him if he wanted to get in touch I would be on this Avril Lavigne fansite as ben545. Really interesting guy. Never seen him on this site to date but who knows, he might get in touch. I think it's an interesting story anyway.
Completely off topic. Sorry, it won't happen again.

This makes me so sad. There are such twats in this country. I want to go and live in Holland with Jinkxx and RockBitch lol! Thanks for telling us what happened, I never knew that. Something went wrong with the London Hammersmith gig too, she was late or something, lost her voice, I don't know. Didn't even consider playing Birmingham (where I live). I want to gos and live in Holland with Jinkxx and RockBitch lol! <--- This sounds like fun ben545 !! Yeah, I love Holland but can't speak Dutch. Spent a lot of time in Amsterdam and toured the country by bike. I've seen a lot of Holland but because I'm a home owner here in England I'm tied down... Wouldn't know what to do for money anyway.

Procrastinating, don't know what to do today. Normally get drunk on a Monday, just feel like doing something constructive instead.

Good news, they're going to give me a job at work, paid work. I'll be earning money again. I'm feeling so happy, finally got my foot on the ladder. Been volunteering for 3 years now. My manager said she didn't know why they didn't employ me earlier. I'm too kind. It was my old manager's ex-girlfriend that recommended me. I know how much this means to you, Ben. It's a lot easier to get a job when you have a job. I hope you do well. Maybe I was a bit quick to assume they will give me a contract at work. There's nothing certain at the moment and yes it does mean a lot to me.

Avril seems so confident and happy in that interview. I think that's the most confident and happy I've ever seen her. She seems to be in a good place right now.

'Lonely Hearts' starring John Travolta. It was alright, struggled to get into it to begin with. Very fast paced. It was alright....8/10 It was quite good actually.

Yeah, I agree. I really don't like the unnatural blonde look. She looks a bit stressed in those photos. Hard at work.

Vegetarian chilli con carne with rice and a salad and a bottle of Guinness export. Still sticking to my vegan/vegetarian diet. I just can't give up milk or cheese. Vegan milk makes me want to throw up and vegan cheese is inedible. I occasionally eat egg. I'm more a vegetarian than anything.

I saw Amy Winehouse live in Birmingham in 2007. She was totally smashed on drink and drugs and couldn't really perform properly. I felt really bad for her when I heard she had died. A lot of the audience had the good taste to leave the theatre when they could see she was trashed. I had drank about five or six pints myself so I was hardly sober. I quite enjoyed her performance regardless of the fact she was wrecked. It's strange, it was like I needed to be drunk to go and see her and she needed to be drunk to perform.

Good news, my washing machine still works. The good thing about buying a reconditioned one is that whatever originally went wrong with it has already been fixed so in some ways it's more reliable. Anyway, I'm happy.

'Philadelphia' starring Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington. Really sad..... 9/10. Makes you question your own prejudices. Thought provoking, I liked it.

Not bad... I like the drumming. Good easy listening music.
