    I have been dealing with a ridiculous number of contractors this week and have been shocked at a distinct lack of manners. Not a "Hello, I am xxx from xxx company, I wonder if you can help" or a "Good morning, I've come to check the meters on behalf of xxx, could you show me where they are please?"

    Just a bunch of surly troglodytes communicating in grunts and single syllables.

    To make it worse Security called me mid-**** to drop what I was doing, with a thud, and escort some boiler suited knuckle dragger around the premises.

    What ever happened to good manners?

    I thought this was going to be about: where do people live?

    Buster Bloodvessel? Really? If so, even brillianter than the Sergeant Major.

    Amazing, the longevity of some bands. Hats off to them <ok>

    Who knows but this may be the last time I get to see some of these and it will be the first time I've seen Johnny Rotten in any form:

    Nice to see TV Smith is still trucking along. Wonder what happened to Gaye Advert? Saw them and The Damned in 1977, at Southampton Students Union, was some energy in that show.

    I expect Gaye will be there with her art on sale. Her and Tim are no longer a couple.
