You're probably all too aware how little spare time I have now. I complain ab0ut it a lot on Twitter! Well I finished work last Wednesday and had a couple of days off work to indulge in my favorite passion, heavy metal! On Thursday I traveled to Prestatyn in North Wales with my girlfriend and [...]
