29th August
As the day begins I send the various quick time files of the commercial and the brand film to the various interested parties having had them all ok’d by Phil prior to his disappearance on holiday.
Quite frankly the importance of this work has faded. As they say so eloquently during the scene at Elvis’s grave side in ‘Spinal Tap’
‘Too much fxxxxxx perspective’.
I continue with the music for the Sphere and begin to get a fuller picture of the surrounding politics.
Amanda is not feeling so hot today. I make dinner once the kids are in bed, then head out to the studio again. I’ve been reading some of the comments on various prog sites with regard to Pip’s death.
I feel the need to call Dave again, I just want to talk and we chat for over an hour. We reminisce. The good the bad, the warts and all of Pip.
The anecdotes will live on after his departure for the Big Rotters Club in the sky. Dave tells me one that I hadn’t heard before about Pip in a phone box somewhere, calling his wife to ask her if she knows where he is.
In return I tell Dave about the story of Pip going out to drink on his own in Tokyo.
Having fallen out with his other band members, not for the first time, Pip heads off to get drunk on his own. He finds a strange collection of really small bars in a nearby district of Tokyo. He starts in one and walks the down the small streets to the next. Eventually he’s see’s one in the distance that has neon sign out side that says ‘Pip’s Bar’.
Obviously he makes a bee line for the place. He tells the proprietor that ‘This is my bar’ the owner, no doubt no stranger to drunks, humours him, but remains wary. Pip continues to call it ‘His bar’ to the continuing annoyance of the landlord. Eventually Pip gets his passport out and says ‘That’s me, my names Pip.’
To his astonishment the bar owner looks at the picture and ask’s ‘You Pip Pyle? You Pip Pyle!’ His face begins to light up.
Pip rather warily says ‘Err yes.’
The owner, unable to believe what’s happened says, with increasing excitement ‘this is your bar; I name it after you’ and proceeds to bring out various pieces of Hatfield and the North memorabilia.
I asked Pip what happened next. He told me he had absolutely no idea. The next thing he remembers was waking up in his hotel room at about 4 the following afternoon naked but for his trousers round his ankles.
How could you not miss someone who tells you stories like that?

A Tenant’s Guide to Renting
The first challenge every tenant faces is finding an apartment for rent that suits their individual needs. For today’s tenant, the most effective apartment search can be done using an online apartment finder. Tenants should decide what they require in an apartment or house rental before beginning their search. For example: the number of bedrooms, location or distance from public transportation and how much the tenant can afford to pay in rent, furnished or unfurnished apartment, etc. By making these important decisions first, tenants can avoid renting an apartment or house only to regret it later. Many tenants today are taking advantage of the convenience of the internet to locate apartments for rent as opposed to the traditional print publications.
Once a possible apartment or home has been found, it is the tenant's duty to thoroughly inspect the premises making a commitment in the form of a security deposit. A tenant should not rely on the landlord or the landlord's agent to tell the tenant if anything is wrong with the property. The tenant must inspect the property carefully and ask questions about it.
Inspecting the condition and functionality of the following areas/features of the apartment before committing yourself as a tenant is highly recommended.
1. Kitchen appliances in working order.
2. Water pressure strong, plumbing without leaks.
3. Electrical outlets and wiring working.
4. Walls and ceiling painted or papered without cracks
5. Ventilation or air conditioning accessible.
6. Floors, railings and bathrooms in good repair.
7. Fire escape easy to use.
8. Stairs safe and well-lighted.
9. No rodents or insects.
10. Heating system in working order.
11. If furnished, check and write down condition of all furniture.
12. Windows and doors operable and weather-tight; screens provided.
The tenant should also check the security of the building to find out if there is a dead-bolt lock, security chain, or through-the-door viewer.
BEWARE OF EXISTING DAMAGES: In order to avoid being blamed for damages that already exist in the rental unit, the cautious tenant should take every step for self-protection. Before moving in (or as soon as possible thereafter), the tenant should make a list of all existing damages and repairs that need to be made. A copy of the list should he presented to the landlord and attached to the lease This way the landlord cannot blame the tenant for damages caused by others and the tenant will know what the landlord intends to repair. If the tenant keeps good records the landlord will not be able to keep the tenant’s security deposit for damages that were actually caused by others. Taking pictures before moving in is also strongly recommended.
