That afternoon in a pub near to the venue Paul Heaton and mates were getting absolutely shitfaced and my mate joined them. By the time they had to clear off to the venue Heaton was apparently barely able to spell...

Just another point about Mr Formula (Hello Mrs Formula is your Dave playing out? :D ). I`m sure as a wee lad I remember Mr Formula being part of Jonathan Ross' "house band" on The Last Resort - or did I dream it? Jim I can't even remember the Last Resort :( Damn my memory is getting patch...
