Public thank you to WUN and Colin Irvine

Hay!

 

Well yes, but in this particular instance two jars of amber delight.

 

You going all prog on me?

"to write the rites to right my wrongs"

 

Well, what you lose on the swings, you lose on the roundaaouts.

 

aarrrgh. Like I said elsewhere, my memory's gone strange recently.

saw them Fish-era play it live in Belfast.

 

I was away for a week, it's only a metter of time before I stop
picking interesting looking threads and just hit mark all read.

Since you've been drinking again?

<envy>

 

It's all those abandoned relics cluttering up the place.

 

no, actually it's not that. Something else.

just a pity Steve Rothery's always been such a knob.

 

****. I saw them, must have been, a dozen times or more.

Best time was when they cancelled a gig in Paris during the Fugazi
tour, and for some reason decided to play Guildford Student Union Hall
to about 300 people.

 

I never managed it. A friend goes to the thing Fish does each year and
I keep meaning to go up to that with her.

Excellent. Inspired by this thread I had Script on in the car today,
with the CD player on a higher volume than I use for the usual R4
listening (on a tanget mid week this week was rather good) and the
windows down. Daughter was cowering going 'Mum, someone might see me'
which I think is a result.

 

My kids get embarrassed when they're in my cars, cos I insist on
playing Happy Hardcore quite loudly. They hate it... so do I but
anything to piss the kids off so they don't ask for lifts. I'm so glad
they have their own cars now.

 

Depends on your tastes.

It's variable, I don't always catch it but I was driving in the
morning this week. I've never had a hit rate higher than 2 of the
items before but this time 3 out of the 4 bits were interesting. First
bit was boring.

hang on...
