Times article on Alpha Course
I've had leaflets about this pressed on me by people in the street. I don't know what about my appearance screamed "Attack my beliefs!", but I find it extremely precious for someone to come over and say I seem like a person with inferior morals (who couldn't possibly have a considered system of ethics all my own), and would I like to be cured.

Who spends their time on things like this?

Okay, enough with the news links.
"Friday the 2nd September 2005 at Bloodstock will be remembered for years to come as the night where bands and fans will unite in the ultimate showdown of what is becoming the latest metal craze in the UK - Battle Metal!
It all began centuries ago ...........hmphhh.... well two years ago in fact when Dragonforce unleashed in you the fans, the need to bring swords and armour to the show (albeit plastic), in one defiant gesture announcing METAL is for Warriors, not kids with skewed on baseball caps bah! So in honour of your dedication to the cause we proudly present the BATTLE METAL NIGHT to end all Battles. Fight to the death!
We can proudly announce the masters of battle METALIUM will take the stage along with Hammerfall, Conquest of Steel, Bob Catley, Stormwarrior, Warchild and many others for their first ever UK show, to do battle within the confines of the Assembly Rooms where the assembled hordes will witness a fine display of True Steel and Warrior Bone Crunching Metal!
Oh and by the way - The wildest band in the world ex-pats RAVEN will be appearing in the UK for aeons on Saturday 3rd September, as this years representative of the NWOBHM era and very Special Guests! You had better be ready to ROCK until you DROP!"
After this I won't ever regret mysteriously and anonymously being signed up to Bloodstock Newsletter
