You should have given it to me. It could have been number 3 in my collection of coasters - the other 2 being The DEEP cd & 42/40.

I haven't seen Grayo since The Stranglers gig in Frome. :(

We were all in that little back garden of that pub and were having a lovely afternoon. The time went on and I think we all just about made it to the gig. And it was a good gig too.

Some of us then went for, arguably, the crappiest curry, ever.

This means something, does it Jim?

Anyway - Homer has a sorta point in his point, although I don't think Noel twatted any photographers in the past, only Liam.

Whatabout when that Jimiroquai or whatever he's called - when he got all hot n bothered with the press in some TV's worst rock stars behaving badly doc and bashed up an innocent snapper. Made himself look like a bit of a knob. Which was nice!

If you are fat, and just stand and fart (constantly) at gigs then yes I am referring to you. Can't say I had anyone particular in mind when I mentioned this (didn't think you were fat either but there yer go). Bizarre how you stepped up for that one :?: :!:

I mean, I'm old, fat and bald so does that mean you hate me?? And as for 'over-hyped shit' look no further than 'Hoover Dam'. I downloaded that from his website ('cos it was free) than played it in the car on the way to work in Bristol and thought it was so crap I threw it in the River severn.........

Fly straight with here comes another ban................

Neither

Also, can we add to the list people who just stand and talk through the entire gig - It's like as soon as the band play the first song they start talking again as if they're givng their mates a running commentary - I witnessed this last night at the Wire gig. Why spend £16 to do that? Stay at fuckin home!

Apols in advance to Grayo in case he was stood in front of me at Wire last night and was talking constantly :lol:

I have to admit to having done this under the very nose of Paul Roberts at a Stranglers gig. But you know how it is you've got your teenage kids with you and some trollope is trying to push in. You can't help but give it some. :smt018

:twisted: Grayo, it is to my eternal chagrin that I have never, knowingly, met you but I look forward to meeting you soon, seeing as I also chucked my downloaded copy of Hoover Dam in a river. Admittedly not the Severn, or over the neighbours wall like 'Clubbed to Death'(you recieved and rejected it yet giz? I've been ....ahem.....unavailable!), but, there was a lickle puddle just outside my front door where the guttering had failed after a light shower and, well........I couldn't resist!

Fly straight with here comes.....................always the sun :?: 8)
