no news from anywhere else regarding getting another contract but i am working on the assumption that if i get another contract elsewhere it will be a bonus and that its likely that i will have to start at the bank that has given me the offer i currently have. i am still going through security checks which are a bit of a mission. if only they had been so careful in monitoring the size of the risk on their books and their capital ratios and the quality of some of the mortgage backed securities on their balance sheets, then maybe governments around the world might have saved themselves a trillion or two.
it was the glastonbury festival last weekend and i watched a bit of it on tv in the hope i might be surprised or discover something new and interesting. er.....i did not. arctic monkeys were bland as the headline act on the friday night. i have posted at least one of their singles on this blog but a lot of their stuff is a bit boring which they demonstrated on friday evening. i watched the rolling stones and despite all the reviews in the press saying how amazing they were, i thought they were boring as well. songs ended with 4 minutes jam sessions which were so dull. not being ageist but 70 year old men dancing and swaggering on stage is not a good look. it can be done with dignity like john lee hooker and bb king, but those fellas dont jump around and strike poses in a vain parody of their youths. editors were there and i watched a bit of them. they were ok but i have seen them play live twice and both times they were better in their own shows. last night it was mumford and sons and i posted their debut single on this blog, but a bit like the arctic monkeys, a good single or two, does not make a great band, and i could not even bring myself to watch them. they have become sooooooo dull.
here is some new fresh music by a band called victories at sea. i quite like this.
