Yup it is, mine will be in soon.

The pictures are funny, and whats funnier, is the Black Metal is fucking awful!!

Depends on the band and where it is. If I love the band I get there early so I can get as close to the stage as possible. Plus the bigger the venue the earlier I arrive. I never go really early though.

Sorry to hijack the topic but I don't want to start a new one. How big/how full is Manchester Uni? As I'm going to go see Pennywise on the 28th of June there and I need to know how packed it gets so me and my mates can decide how early we go (It'll also be the longest i've ever travelled to go to a concert. From Newcastle to Manchester. However i'm thinking about going to London in August to see Bad Religion.

After Going Through Hell, Has Guerrero Snapped?...

Even after beating 19 opponents last week, Guerrero's quest for Title was not over. Upon arriving at the in Texas last night, Guerrero made his way to the ring to call out his opponent for Avarice, Chris Benoit. However, he got Kane instead, he welcomed out Mr. Jarrett and the both of them pointed up above Guerrero's head, as Guerrero looked up, Jarrett announced that he had planned a triple threat tonight to prove once and for all who is the Number 1 Contender, but The Rock has unfortunately been "dismissed" from tonights show so Guerrero will face Kane 1 on 1, in a steel cage match. And the winner will go on to face Chris Benoit at Avarice. Guerrero looked ready to explode, but regained his composure.

When it came down to the match, the World saw a side of Guerrero that nobody has seen before, for the first time in a while, he seemed to be the monster, not Kane. After Kane delivered a swift beating to Guerrero, Guerrero fought back, and didn't stop, after escaping the cage, Jarrett entered to claim it was a No DQ, pin fall only cage match, and the pin must happen in the ring. Guerrero then grabbed a steel chair, and entered the ring, delivering a brutal set of chair shots to Kane, Guerrero refused to stop, and by the time he did, Kane was motionless. Guerrero hit the Frog Splash, although it wasn't needed to get the pin, Kane still didn't move. After the win, Guerrero got the chair again and continued to deliver shot after shot to Kane's head, and then turned and blasted Earl Hebner with a chair shot. Guerrero got a mic and told them to raise the cage, he screamed for Benoit to get out there and face him like a man. He claimed Benoit was hiding from him, and then suddenly Benoit came through the crowd and tried to blindside Guerrero, but a lightning quick swing of the chair took out Benoit, and the Guerrero went into a rage again, slamming him with the chair until he was out cold. He then picked up the CWA Championship, staring into it, and then picking up Benoit to his knees, Guerrero drilled the World Championship into his head, taking him out again. The ring was a blood bath as Jarrett walked out to the rampway, but didn't dare go near the ring as Guerrero screamed and taunted Benoit and Kane, who were motionless.

Guerrero's actions weren't the only shocking thing of the night, the legendary Dave 'Fit' Finlay made a surprise return to the ring after Andy Douglas came out claiming he was under appreciated and was possible the best wrestlers currently in the CWA. Fit Finlay came out claiming he was nothing but a youngster and didn't even know the meaning of wrestling, that he was more about looks than fighting, Finlay challenged him to a match, but sadly, the veteran was proved and was given quite a beating. Finlay's only real claim is Douglas's illegitimate finish with a handful of tights on the ropes and holding the ropes.

The Gathering reformed for the night as well, the skills of CM Punk & Julio Dinero certainly did put the Tag Champions to the test, however, it was much thanks from John Cena that helped then retain their titles. Much to the anger of CM Punk, it seems he's now getting a taste of what he gave to Cena, being the 'thorn in his side' so to speak. It seems CM Punk doesn't like a taste of his own medicine.

Cena was also in action later on in the night after Jarrett decided to book Benoit, Christian & Diamond together after there fall out last week, the trio forgave each over, although it seems heated arguements came back once again after they suffered a defeat to Edge, Cena & Jericho. A swift spear to Christian was enough for the win, but Benoit was more than capable of helping his partner kick out. Diamond saw this and post match it seemed arguements were brewing between Christian/Diamond & Benoit, it seems this early formed grouping could be on its way out.

The bottom line from tonight is, Guerrero is still number 1 contender, and after tonights psychotic outbreak, whats going to be instore for Benoit in just under 2 weeks at Avarice when he has to face Guerrero?

But with Ronaldo, he is always fucking on the ground, and the way he goes down waving his arms in the air like he has just been shot is a joke.

Really depends, if its a band I really love, I show up on time, most of the time I show up just as the opening band is on. Go the bar and stuff, then hit the pit when the band I wanna see is on. I saw Atreyu/Norma Jean last Friday and that was brutal shit, NJ just blew everyone away, twas a damn good night.

I prefer him as more of an Explorer than Exploder

CWA Shockwave Preview

Eddie Guerrero did what most men would claim to be impossible, he defeated 20 of CWA's finest, to become Number 1 Contender the CWA Championship for a 4th time in a row. After entering at Number 2, Eddie Guerrero managed to survive 19 randomly drawn contestants to have yet another shot at taking Benoit's CWA Championship. What will Benoit have to say after discovering he will face Guerrero yet again for his World Championship? Having made narrow escape at Deadbolt, will Benoit luck run out in the 4th instalment of this never ending rivalry.

Also during the Battle Royal, The Rock seemed to get some much deserved payback by eliminating CWA Owner Jeff Jarrett from it. However, with his double elimination with Kane towards the end of the Battle Royale, will he try to make a claim that he was unfairly exited from the match and possibly have a shot another shot at the CWA Championship, a belt he could have possibly won 3 months ago but was taken out by Jeff Jarrett.

Nate Hatred also has a claim to make tonight, after being victorious in his match last week thanks to CM Punk, when will his chance at facing CWA International Champion, John Cena happen? With the actual time of the match not actually given, will he face the Prototype this week? Or possibly hold out till Avarice? And why did CM Punk help the 'Nightmare' to win the shot at the Championship? Tune into Shockwave to find out!

Knowing Me, Knowing Hollywood?

We last saw him having a breakdown in Dundee, but it appears that Alan Partridge may have finally found the stage his deluded talents deserved.

Steve Coogan, the star behind Norwich's second most famous citizen (after Delia, of course), is in talks to develop Alan Partridge the movie. According to a spokeswoman for Baby Cow, Coogan's production company, plans are in their early stages. "It's in the pipeline but we don't have any definite date."

However, one person who won't be involved is Alan Partridge co-writer and director Armando Iannucci. "My personal view is that I've taken him as far as he can go and I'd rather leave him where he is - having a nervous breakdown in a bath in Dundee. But it's up to Steve what he wants to do with it and I wish him well," he told the Guardian.

This film can be seen and followed on so many levels, thats why I love it.

My favourite "version" of the film, is watching it and imagining its the book that Jason Lee's character is meant to be writing about. Basically the book he wrote on relationships and such, was based on David Aimes. It's an interesting concept and if you watch it, it does actually work on that level.
