Actually buying a house sucks. The amount of paperwork and things required of you (that people usually forget to tell you about) are both immense.

Once you get in and have decorated (and if you get half a chance, decorate before moving any of your stuff in), it’s excellent. For example, although an alarm of indefinable origin has been sounding down the street for at least seven hours, spilling that bucket of water over the entire floor this morning didn’t really matter!

I woke up one morning and simply didn’t want to do it anymore. That was 9 months ago.

Saw them in Cardiff on July 18th. Can categorically state that this was the best concert I have ever been to.

They had a two-level stage setup with hydraulic platforms used to get between them, and multiple costumes and props (for example, a bloody chef’s outfit, a huge cauldron containing Christian Lorenz and a flame thrower for Mein Teil).

Till alone went through a pair of gloves containing flame-throwers, a longbow shaped flame-thrower, a crossbow shaped flame-thrower and a machine gun shaped flame-thrower, in addition to having his shoes alight and signing Ohne Dich under a shower of sparks. Everyone (everything?) else was on fire at some stage too.

Oh, and then the music rocked too!
