We played a gig in Wigan yesterday. It was genuinely awesome. The guys from A Bear came all the way from Manchester to see us, which was an absolute treat. All the guys there were super nice and helpful, so thanks Wigan/Drew/Neil.
The Tudor is a pretty inauspicious looking place from the outside, but it's a really nice little pub, and all the drums were mic'd up to the point where the floor was vibrating, as in this little video of our soundcheck.
All the other bands pulled out from the night, so we were even treated to some emergency techno courtesy of some weirdo, who quite aptly summed up everyone's reaction to him by reminding us: "next time you see this face - FUCK OFF". Nice of him to recommend avoidance strategies for us.
As I had to get to a wedding the next day, Chris kindly drove us back to Norwich that very night, a delightful five hour journey through the burgeoning daylight. There was much energy drink, chicken tikka sandwiches, wine, winegums (aka Tesco jam doughnut), beer (aka Tesco iced doughnut) and endless fags consumed.
By the time we reached home, in the cold and surprisingly bright light of day, I think we were all a little madder than we had been when we left, to the point where I had an argument with Dan about infinity and how maths is NEVER BUILT ON ASSUMPTIONS. Maths is in fact based on truths. That's why it's awesome. Maths is one of the very few subjects where there is no fudging, no flim flamming, and no corner-cutting. And, for the record, 0.9999 recurring is exactly equal to 1.
Proof:
If x = 0.99999999.....
then 10x = 9.999999.....
Subtract one from the other:
10x = 9.99999999.....
- x = 0.99999999.....
9x = 9.0000000.....
divide by 9:
9x = 9 => x = 1
9 9
So whenever x = 0.99999..., x = 1
i.e. 0.99999.... = 1
QED
