someone's looks like he's on the brown. . . heard that makes you an a-hole.

Hopefully you've now realised that Grumpy Cocktail Waiter Alex is a set-up, and not the sign of a burgeoning heroin addiction?

Oh, and a bit of the bowling blog that made me laugh

We finished off the night round at Al's with a bottle of whisky and a couple of wasted hours playing the pun game. For those not aware of this late night distraction, it is a word association game and the rules are simple.

Rule one - Take one subject - i.e. The Sea.
Rule two - Combine rule one with a quote/band/artist etc. to form a pun.

E.g.
Hake That?
Sand-y Shore?
Half Manatee Half Biscuit?

Matt killed the game with a pun, which nobody could top.

Buoyancy Knowles.

[Ievut]

I love them! They are my favorite band, can't wait for the new album.

i think that's why they're so cool. they aren't pretentious at all. they just let their music speak for itself.

When is the new single set to drop?

 

[DiamondSea]

^There are no release dates yet. They have announced some festival dates though, the earliest of which is July 2 so hopefully the album will be out before then. They're headlining Reading and Leeds in August.
