Thanks to ABC's Spicks and Specks, I now have a new goal in life - to see The Grates live in concert. Or at least in gig.

Ok, so that's a slight exag. but I do feel I need to see them live. I learnt, tonight, something about their performance that is truly amazing. Patience, the leading lady, is not only a female vocalist extraordinaire.

Patience, leading lady, plays the ribbon.

She says that she listens to their songs and can just tell when "yep, that needs a ribbon" to add a sense of drama. Once, during a performance in Newcastle, the audience attempted to de-instrument Patience by stealing the ribbon right out of her hands. Naughty Novocastrians.

And, when she forgets her ribbon, she plays the sock puppet. Cries are often heard at performances in the less affluent areas from the audience, many screaming "HOLY FUCK THE SOCK PUPPET'S SINGING!!!!"

In newcastle, the buses which are listed on the bus stop do not come when they are supposed to- or even within an hour of when they are supposed to- and completely different buses which are not supposed to be there at all do come.

Oh, snap! That's horrible. How does anyone ever get around if they don't have a car?
Won't somebody think of the children?!?!
