Hah! Missed this last time. Trust me mate its very platonic. I like everyone to be cool though. A bit of meditation and self reflection would not go amiss.

Beer.

I have been told to revise this.

Decent quality ale, not low quality, high cost, UK-manufactured 'lager'

I rarely drink - partly cos it has little effect.

PS I tried to learn the guitar once but I fear I didn't have the ability.

Well, I finished studying, moved back to Scotland, found myself short of rent money so went busking. Made a mint doing that (seriously), got asked to join a band, was kinda good so asked to join a better band, tours, recording, TV, all that carp. All through this time was messing with computers and when the music stuff got tough I bullcrapped my way into a developer role, never looked back after that.

Dig through yer record collection, fair bet I'm in there somewhere playing guitar or mandolin but I'm not going to say where. Playing an instrument is therapeutic and really can turn into a Plan B. I was playing pro before the IT stuff and I'll be going back full time this year with no regrets. Not for the money you understand, just the babes.
