Didn't manage to get to see Gervias. Ticketline messed me about by not actually selling my tickets when I bought them.

You going to Glasto this year? I got some tickets for Aerosmith and Daft Punk on seperate consecutive weekends in Hyde Park, might just camp there on my own for the week.

Hope your gig was good last week, will have to come see you as play again as soon as I can.

You may notice I got hacked. If i knew rich hotties, i would not share.

I’ve got a proposition. I managed to get some tickets for Ricky Gervais 7th Feb in Oxford, picked up 3, Justin and me are going to drive across and you’re welcome to join us and take the spare ticket (for £25 +bf mind, I’m not a charity – I’ll buy you a beer though). Gives us a proper excuse to get together for some beers then.

Thanks for the add!

Note: Due to an appalling number of recent friend requests, King Missile has been forced resort to this generic "Thanks for the add" comment. We apologize.

Oh aye. I remember ye, laddie.
Are you in a well famous rock'n'roll band, touring the planet in a 3 storey tour bus trailing wasted, semi naked, underage groupies?
I'm a world famous fashion photographer, shooting top fashion advertising on a different continent each hour, boning everything Italian, Spanish or French that moves, with a team of 14 assistants that cater to my every need. Currently on acid with a collection of Czech super models and buddhist monks , swimming with spider monkeys in the Maldives.
Maybe I'll do your next album cover?

Hi Tom! Good to hear from you. I must say you have a aura of Dr David Banning about you in this photo!

Why is Norwich so far away from everywhere? i am going to invent a teleportation device to make travelling easier and quicker.
