Recently it was National Nostalgia Week, and to keep the nostalgia going here’s a photo review of an event that marked the end of an era in North Wales, the closing of the Tiv as a rock venue and leaving north east Wales with no rock clubs at all.

The Last Ever Rock Night at The Tiv!!!!
[Saturday 29th May 1999]

Saturday Night at the Tiv, was the ONLY Rock event in the North East of Wales. But thanks to a new manager who believes Rock is dead, and that STEPS is the be-all and end-all of music, The Saturday Rock Night was replaced with the “Trendy-We-Love-Steps” Night. To mark the end of an era, that had spanned decades, The Tiv had a goodbye to rock party, where all the Rock-Regulars said goodbye with the style only Rockers and Goths can achieve……

I “Pendragon” and Andrew “Ax” decide to go say goodbye to the Tiv’s Rock Night with style. And since this was also the first time we had been out drinking together (and we had known each other for over 4 years) A lot of Alcohol was drunk.. A lot of Moshing was done.. And A lot of Flirting with rock-chicks was done..

I don’t know why the photo shows our hands covered with a strange blood red liquid, and it is a coincidence that the following night we were 100’s of miles away in another part of Wales..

PS: The Doctors say the new manager will be able to walk again soon….

After asking a few discrete questions, Well as discrete as only a drunk bloke can be. Ax discovers Gill is single. And in a drunken moment of inspiration decides to kidnap her, and give her to Me as a present!!

Damn nice of him, don’t you think… And I didn’t get him anything…….

I am totally unaware of Ax’s kidnapping of Gill, or Koopers paralysing shock… Like a kitten with a piece of string I am distracted, but in my case its by Vodka….

I did consider claiming I was drinking coke.. But after a quick survey of my friends opinions, I was shocked to discover that no one would believe me if I said I was Tea-Total…

Listening to my Friends you would swear I was an Alcoholic!!!!

Kooper recovers from his shock, and starts to plan my death..

Just after this look to kill!! over a dozen unlucky people that were in his line of sight fell down dead…..

He still hasn’t forgiven me…

I’m safe… Kooper gets distracted as he is pulled by Dave.

Don’t they make a lovely looking couple??

PS: Is it just me, or does Dave look like a character from the Muppets or some such program, I just cant place which character……

From the dawn of time Man has quested to hunt out Mythological Creatures.  How much money and man-hours have been spent investigating loch ness for the monster? How many People have walked the American woods looking for big foot?  Its our natural instinct to try and find the truth in such myths.  So, to do my bit for the advancement of human knowledge, I decided to spend some time this weekend attempting to find out some more information on a “mythological Creature.”

“Which Creature are you hunting?” I hear you ask, “Vampires? Werewolves? Big Foot? Teggie?“

Nope. The Mythological Creature I am trying to prove if they exist or not is….. *insert drum roll*…. “Intelligent Women”  Yes, those things we have all heard about, and know a friend of a friend who may have met one once.  Women who are intelligent and witty.

So. How did I do my research? Well I signed up for an online dating website. I will not name which one of the major UK ones I used since they may be a bit upset that i used their site for something other than they had designed it for. I will say its one of those that ask you loads of questions about yourself, and what you like in a partner, so it can match people by personality and likes.  To be fair I set “no preference” to all subjects like distance, if they have kids, religion, race, everything. The only things i stated were important were, Intelligence, Sense of Humor, Personality.

So, I filled in all the details. submitted it, and waited while their servers calculated the details, and searched a database of UK people trying to match anyone based on my requests.  After a while the results came in.

NO MATCHES FOUND

So there you have it, One of the largest online dating sites in the UK (If not the world) with a reputed 60% female membership has 0 women who met the standards set.  So far its not looking good for finding evidence of these creatures.

I will keep you informed of any more evidence found one way or another on this subject.

So far this year I have received: –

• THREE Wedding Invites, (And it is only March).
• A formal occasion.
• Something I’ve forgotten all about.

Each of these events all came with the normal invite of Me+1.

It is times Like this, that being single is annoying. I need to find myself a +1. Maybe I should try the tucker max style and advertise myself on a website, If no other reason it would be an interesting social experiment. And Tucker got lots of good stories, and several books out of it.

As a bonus, no matter how messed up the psychotic people who would reply to it could possibly be, it would be no worse than going on the pull in Wrexham :0)
