And I have seen Black Wizard as well there of course. He had a good spot right before Rod Smallwood's and Andy Taylor's nose. Nush and me were more in the back at the big higher balcony.

Sent an e-mail to my boss: "I want to change my job."
Boss: "You gotta be kidding me. No way."
Me: "I'm serious."
Boss: "Please stay! I'll change your tasks to suit you!"

Ironically, one of the reasons I gave him was that I don't think I'm good at negotiating.

It sounds like they actually value your contribution - if they just didn't want the inconvenience of finding a replacement they would be more likely to offer you a miniscule pay rise or a swankier job title.

The same happened to me two jobs ago - their counter offer was exactly what I had wanted six months earlier and I actually wouldn't have knocked it back so fast if I hadn't been going to join an ex-colleague from my last good job, who had put in a good word for me at her new place. A pity it all turned to ashes in less than four months ...

Anyway, good luck with whatever you decide to do next!

In case anyone wonders why I haven't said anything in the Bruce (related) topics. I avoid these like the plague because I want to finish the book before reading anything about it.

I liked the presentation in London, I was there with Nush. The atmosphere was good, there was humour and it was in a beautiful location (a theatre that opened as a 1930s cinema). The only thing that lacked a bit: Was it very interesting? Well, not that much really. Not to a Maiden nerd being (also) interested in details on the musical side of his journey.

It's as I expected, really, it's more about Bruce's life and exploits than about his music, or insights into Maiden.

I thought music was also part of his life and exploits.
In comparison, I miss the passion about that when reading the book. As least, as soon as he turned pro. Flying, flying, flying, flying, flying, flying, flying.
 
Why is it that going by classic rock stations, the two biggest songs of the genre are "Stairway To Heaven" and "Free Bird", and yet the latter is so goddamn underrated?
 
I agree, Freebird is a great song. Much better than the other one. The track I tend to skip if I play IV.

That's a surprise to me. Can you describe general relativity in 3 sentences, even though you're no physicist (which would make you a real scientist :)) ? Zare tried with pinching plastic bags.

I've been pinching plastic bags ever since, still no warp drive!

Edit : btw. math is the sole formal science in existence today, and possibly forever. Abstract to the bone.

All told, I do like Stairway more than Free Bird, mostly because I'm a Zep fan and Stairway was at one time my second favorite song by them. But that said, there's plenty other Zep songs that should get the top spot instead - I'm always rooting for Kashmir myself - whereas there's only one Free Bird, and seeing it in, I dunno, at #41 or something on an "all-time" list is pretty disappointing.

Especially when Bang A Gong is #7 and Layla is #2. :huh:
