I've had a few crackers haha.

One I mentioned on here before, but will retype anyway. A few years ago I met some girl off the internet who seemed pleasant enough, but when I met her to go to hers she was an absolute Jeremy Kyle style pikey! She had grotty stale make up and was just odd, but I reluctantly agreed to go to with her as not to be rude. However her house was an absolute shit tip! Her parents would give Onslow and Daisy a run for their money, proper slobs in filthy clothes, and there was grime and muck everywhere. The house wasn't even decorated, filthy floor boards and dirty plates just stacked. Absolute rotten, like the type of house on 'A Life of Grime', no word of a lie. I was freaking, but she took me upstairs and there were actual fleas crawling on her bed! So I said I needed the bathroom to give me a moment to think how to escape. But there was literal SHIT up the walls. How does that even happen?! So I just thought fuck it, I need to go. And apologised and said I had to leave, and rushed downstairs. She then tried giving me a kiss goodbye, but I declined, then ran all the way home. I showered and showered and showered and still couldn't feel clean!! Rough as fuck! I've never met a girl off the net since!

Another time I got texting some girl who worked in New Look whos number I blagged from a friend and arranged to meet her after her shift after a fair bit of nice texting. However she no-showed and I waited 50 minutes after no texts or calls back before leaving. Never did hear from her again. Random.

This last one is quality, but the end will only be truely funny if you are aware of who the person is, I will give it a shot, no doubt anyone familiar with him will find it highly amusing. Anyway, I was sat in Bath Abby after an amazing day out date with a girl just relaxing and thinking how well it was going, when an arm grabbed me in a sleeper hold. I didn't recognise this person (abv cos they had me from behind) but they smelt a bit and I noticed a wrinkly old hand. And I started to think fuck who's this? And asked but they wouldn't reply, and the girl started freaking out and looked terrified, as I then thought it was a tramp! The girl then curled up at the end of the bench petrified while I didn't know what to do to remain calm. Then the person let go after what seemed like forever and it was none other than UK wrestling superfan MAD ELI! He knew me from about but was extremely ott for him to get me in a sleeper haha. I was like "what the fuck were you doing?!" but he just gabbled on nonsense about wrestling and goodness knows what as the girl still looked on like wtf. I hadn't explained my interest in wrestling to her and she was baffled that it wasn't a close relative or anyone I really knew as I tried explaining the situation while still flustered. Needless to say thanks to British Wrestling's badge headed embassador she was too freaked out by the crazy episode and we never met again.

Ive said it many times before, it was largely inverted snobbery on the 'hardcore' maiden fans because he wasnt Bruce Dickenson. 'X Factor' is a very good and very dark album. But 'Virtual XI', which has a couple of good tracks, is very ropey in places, which Blaze very unfairly got blamed for when it was poor song writing on everyones part.

Steve Harris and Blaze are still on very good terms

Spot on bud! Totally agree. And although it's difficult to really picture Maiden without Bruce and he ultimately is their voice, the most ironic thing as far as the snobbery goes is Blaze's stuff is in fact way better than Bruce's solo efforts imo 'Tattooed Millionaire' is a class tune mind.

I too got hold of the new Maiden album. Surely they have done everything possible with tehir music now. Personally, I don't think they'll never top 'Brave New World'

 

I've always thought 'Dance of Death' is just as good, if not better, than 'Brave New World'. But conflicts over Maiden albums will result into never ending debates!

'A Matter of Life and Death' is huge too, but in a different way and I imagine (although not having heard the whole thing) 'Final Frontier' will follow a similiar blueprint but with a further push of their creative boundaries.

 

Also, your sig reminds me Blaze is off on another massive tour soon and I'm hoping to catch him in Southampton having never checked him out live before! His recent solo stuff has been quite impressive. Can't wait

 

Dont get me wrong, both 'Dance Of Death' and 'A Matter Of Life And Death' are both very good albums, but for me, 'Brave New World' is top to bottom perfect. It was when they started to flirt with prod elements, which did more on 'Dance Of Death' and again on this new album.

 

Go check Blaze out live. He's got a great band with him now, and get the 'Silicon Messish' and 'Tenth Dimension' albums. Truely under-rated, excellent metal albums

Cheers for heads up, I will do just that! I always found his Maiden era underated too, despite many being unfavourable towards it. Steve Harris always speaks highly of those two records though it seems.

I know she's trashy and usually everything I'm against when it comes today's "celebrity" culture but I have a major thing for Chanelle Hayes! And I don't know why!

I've said this so many times

 

I've managed to break it down to Arse, Face, Accent

 

 

Natasha Khan/Bat For Lashes

 

Yeh that's definately it! Especially the ass! Haha her and that awful Chantelle Haughton had to be tested for swine flu for some reason last week, and even that on top of her trashiness still didn't diminish my lust for her

Also who watches Beehive?? I dunno her name but the girl who playes the blonde air hostess amongst other characters. She's a fitty imo too!

I've met too many wrestlers and bands to go through, but have had some memorable encounters!

I met Roger from Less Than Jake at reading festival a couple years back, he was just stood in the crowd watching Slayer's set! I knew it was him so I casually went over and said hi and shook his hand and made pleasant small talk, and mentioned seeing them live before at Reading and he was like "Yeah that was fucking gnarley!" and then I said bye and enjoy Slayer and left him. Then some goofs ran up to him and were all like "Are you that guy from Less Than Jake?!" and he was just "Uh I might be...."

Also met Bowling for Soup at a signing, they were cool, the fat one was a bit miserable though lol but lead singer was well chatty and I mentioned summit about the shit British weather as it was pouring down last July he said "I know dude It hasn't stopped raining since we got here!" and then I asked him about his tattoos cos he has some unusal ones of children's toys on his lower arm.

Met tonnes of wrestlers but Raven sticks out. Loadsa people reckon he's a knob but he was a legend to me. He actually came up to me and started checking out my tattoos saying how much he liked them. Then he called CM Punk over and was like "Punk Punk, come here, we found your British cousin!" And Punk just smirked and gave a 'nod of approval' haha.

I met Kris Akabusi he came to my secondary school for some sponsered sports thing and every1 in the school had their photo taken with him, but they ran out of film at my go so I had to sit and chat to him for about 5 mins. Think we just chatted about the football.

Some God's Girls did a dj set at the local rock club and although not strictly 'famous' they have appeared modeling in alternative magazines and stuff, but they were really pretentious and stuck up acting like they were world famous hollywood celebrities! So I wasn't impressed! They were fit though!

Also when I was about 13 I went to St Jame's Park and saw Warren Barton putting his kids into his car, but i was too scared to go and say hi haha, so I just stood there staring at him and he looked at me and just got in his car. It haunts me to this day I didn't speak!!
