ANOTHER UPDATE......

Please stop revenge-rating....it's pathetic!
I vote on my own opinion, which isn't influenced by the majority.
You write a good article, you'll get a good rating.
Not telling you if I nominate, but if I feel your review is superb then the "nominate" button will be duly clicked.
Falling behind on music reviews here...hope to get back on track (!) soon.

A bit about me, should anyone be bored enough to be curious.

I'm a 55-year-old divorced, self-employed, arthritic, fun-loving, but quiet-natured Gemini female who's intermittently grumpier than Victor Meldrew, and happier than old Larry himself, plus I'm an ex-super-seccy who types fast, but not accurately. Writers' block is an occasional malady, and during those times the reviews I produce (if I manage any at all), will be of inferior quality to what I'm possibly capable of at other times.

I'm a total music nut (very very eclectic tastes), and it's largely what's kept the spark of interest for life inside of me since the day I was born. I adore eating good food (plenty of it too), and am a devout animal lover, particularly cats. Have led a myriad, very up and down yet interesting and varied life, even if a lot of it has been armchair, rather than stalking the boudoirs of the famous, or jetting around the world.

Still being a bit of an old hippie inside my head ideology-wise, it no longer these days shows on the outside. I've been told that since I entered the junior years of my dotage, I have developed a startling resemblance to Jo Brand. Can't see it myself, but who am I to argue with what the eyes of others behold?

A massive thanks to everyone for all the ratings, nominations and crowns.
