Domain thing that happened today roundabout here...

I just bought some new domain names (hence 'domain thing' today - gedditt??) - one is a band name and one is for film-making.  The band is the one where top bass player Alaric Lewis and top drummer Simon Smith play along with me and it all sounds great.  We're got a fair few songs 'in the can' as they say and some of it will get released (as they say) when I get myself together and get the money (as I say).  When I say 'film making' I mean music videos really.  Mostly the sort of thing that I've put on YouTube relatively recently - but thought I might set something up that's a bit more standaloney.

Am I going to tell you what they are?  No, not for now.  It's for the exciting stuff happening 'soon' - which in my world means sometime in the next 5 years probably if I'm not dead by then...Which has been predicted - more on that anon...   

Definitely worth the rusk...

If you were wondering what happened to www.johnparkes.com I sold it.  I was offered money, I wasn't using it directly as it were (its been redirected to this blog for a while now) so I sold it to another John Parkes in the United States who really wanted it.  In return for money. 

I'm hoping that people can still find me via Bandcamp or here or by Googling 'John Parkes music' or some-such so I thought it worth the risk.  Or rusk as I initially typed...

I'm going to buy some more domain names for 'other projects' as they say.  More on that soonish.

 

It's definitely not paaayyyydddaaaayyy!

Why do Premier Inn (and others) keep emailing me telling me that ‘it’s pay day’ when it’s not.  Not only is it apparently payday but in Premier Inn world “It’s paaayyyddddaaaayyy!” and “That all-important payday before Christmas is finally here!”

Presumably some people have jobs when they get paid at the end of the month but I’ve never had one.  It’s not something I’ve questioned people on much but when I have found out when someone is paid it’s never so far as I can remember at the end of the month.  Do all hotel chains or marketing firms pay their staff at the end of the month?  Whatever, it just makes marketing people even more idiotic in my eyes (if that’s possible).  It's not payday...
