Ainsdale Beach, near Southport


We went to Ainsdale beach today (because we were told you can drive on it), which is just a bit past Formby, and just after the "Welcome to Southport" sign you turn left (at the lights), thankfully there's a sign, and you just keep going on that road, and sooner than you think, you're actually driving on the beach. (It's too late in the day to worry about grammer and tenses)

You don't get to drive on the beach free willy style, you're penned into a very large car park that's on the beach, so it's good enough if you just want to have a quick go on the beach, and near sunset there weren't too many people around. Although there is a 10 mph speed limit. There are scary signs saying you're not allowed past the car park and that they'll conviscate your car if they catch you out of the car park, so unfortunately it looks like you need to find some other beach if you want real freedom.

The picture's of "our sunny" on the beach car park. (it was taken at 4.45pm, just before it got dark, and there's heaps of noise as I took it as ISO200, which I think I'll have to avoid with this camera - the Panasonic LX1)

MD.45 The Craving Dave Mustaine Vocals 2004 Remastered

1996 - Dave Mustaine got together with Lee Ving (Voice, Harmonica, Lyrics), Kelly Lemieux (Bass), Jimmy DeGrasso (Drums) and played Guitar and wrote lyrics to record the album called MD.45 - The Craving, creating a "punk metal record". It was at a time when Dave was unhappy with what Megadeth were doing (Cryptic Writings, Risk). Musically great, however, fans of Megadeth / Dave Mustaine, were somewhat disappointed with the vocals. Fast forward to 2004 - Dave Mustaine is remixing and remastering all his albums, one of them is MD.45 - The Craving. Unfortunately half the recording (Vocals, Harmonica) was recorded in a different studio, which had since shut. Unable to remix / remaster from the original recordings, Dave Mustaine decided to re-record the vocals and harmonica by singing himself and simulating the harmonica parts on guitar. MD.45 The Craving - Dave Mustaine Vocals (2004 Remastered) - Fans of Megadeth will enjoy this album. I listened to the original '96 versio

Indigo Drink - Energy that's a little bit fruity.

Apparently it's an energising Peach and Lemon fruit juice drink with Guarana, Ginseng and Caffiene, however, it seems to just taste purple and sugary to me. Maybe there's a hint, a slight tiny hint of Peach in there? Contains Water, Glucose Fructose Syrup, Fruit juices (10%), Sugar, Taurine, Flavourings (Guarana, Ginseng, Peach, Caffiene), Salt!. And 25mg or caffiene / 100mls! Although this is around the same as instant coffee , so presumably nothing to worry about.
