…16 hours. Not that bad really when you have only Edward Cairns for company. He is a sturdy driver and a witty companion. He only ever complains about his ‘nerves’, which get him down when something startling comes along - like a German. I was awoken from my semi-slumber by a blaring honk on the horn, a sudden change in direction (resulting in my skull smashing against a guitar case), and a stinging reprimand directed towards a lane swerver. He understood alright.

We were slightly upset we didn’t get asked to produce our passports even once in the whole trip (despite travelling through 6 different countries). No one seemed to care that we were travelling at her Majesty’s pleasure.

Thanks to all the heavy power ballads on European radio, we came close to deciding that we were going to take a break from the band to write a Hollywood romance about our secret love together that could never have been consummated in England. The plot would have basically been that we had to travel all the way to Switzerland in a post van just to screw. We abandoned the idea pretty quickly though.

Talking of power balads, check out Radio Regen Bogen!

We were woken up at 8.40am this morning (day after travelling) by Dan who claimed we had ‘lots of shit to do today’. It’s now 12.30pm and we have done everything (really not very much) so I am going to go and have  a kip until 7pm when we’re off to rehearse in a nuclear bunker underneath a primary school.
