Agreed but unless you physically remove someone there is not much you can do 
to them if they refuse to go!

Amusingly I don't think she realised that I can understand French fluently 
so I had a fabulous time listening to her bitching all evening beside me as 
she dug her elbows so far into my side, I thought she wanted to come out the 
other side.

But hey, like I said before Scala was so much fun. So great to see everyone 
again. So great to see Garbage again. And there shall be a review of both 
album and gig in next month's Alternative Ulster magazine.
