Oh, and PS re the cover versions, wan;t it The Lurkers who covered 'Then I kissed her', updating it to 'Then I kicked her' ? Chaotic Dischord did a really good version of The Lurkers song- "Shadow"... I asked Pete Stride what he thought of it, when The Lurkers played The Castle (Brentwood), and he reckoned he didn't know anything about it. (They credit him on their album...)

Well, it was before the gig and he started talking to me first...
He asked me if I was there to see The Lurkers and what Lurkers records did I have? Then he was moaning about the small size of the venue etc...
I thought that he was a hippy, to start with, then I twigged that he was their lead guitarist! and I asked him about that Chaotic Dischord cover etc...
Then I said that I didn't care that it was a small venue - I'd be right down the front when they started playing... And he went: "oh, well we'll do the gig just for you then"
(all sarcastic like...)
I'm not actually a particular fan of The Lurkers- I see them as pub rock, bandwagon jumpers...

I chatted to Pete Stride (Lurkers guitarist) in the Ship in Wardour Street before a Marquee gig around 79/80 and he was complaining about the production on the Dirty Town single. Maybe he's just a bit of a moaner ...

I would like to propose that all refrences to said 'Lurkers'be stricken from all posts due to the fact that they were never a punk band and were about as relevant as Plastic Bertrand. They were one of a number of bands that were not worthy of a damn good greenie flobbed in thier general direction.

Ok they may have been bandwagon jumpers, but so were a lot of other "punk" bands. The Stranglers, anyone? They also wrote some damn fine tunes and the classic line "I don't care about romance, its more boring than finance". Good enough credentials for me.

A thing many people don't realise is that if you are keen to boil an egg, but don't have a bona fide egg timer, your CD copy of 'Never mind the bollocks' will serve just as effectively.
Simply insert the CD in the player, pop your egg into boiling water, then select either,
"No feelings"...At 2.57 perfect for those runny one's youngsters seem to favour, "Problems"...4.09..For the universally popular "Firm but fluid" yolk, or "No fun", clocking in at a mammoth 6.20, Ideal for the bullet like consistency required for picnic eggs.

Did u know that i have 2x 6pks of Super dry in my fridge, a 4pk of Special brew and a single can of Emu and if i drink all of them, as i fully intend tonight, then i will be considerably p***ed. At this point i may well attempt to indulge in the popular punk pastime of playing vinyl records at maximum volume to my unsuspecting neighbours. I anticipate that this will not go down too well and would be glad to hear any ideas that i may be able to use to deal with these anticipated compaints, as i have found that a swift kick in the goolies some how doesnt seem as funny to them as it does to me.

How about...
Excuse # 1: You tell them you've just invested in a USB turntable and you've been transferring all your old vinyl records onto your pc...
Excuse # 2: You've had a death in the family and you've inherited all your deceased loved one's records - which you were just playing to remember them by...
Excuse # 3: Tell them you were having a charity Gig in your house to raise money for sick orphans and lost puppies etc...

Playing loud music late at night can really annoy and irritate the neighbours. Other good ways include banging 2 dustbin lids together, poisoning their cat, dumping rubbish in their back garden.......Does anyone else remember Rutland Weekend Television?

Here's an amazing fact...
According to his Myspace profile - Gizz Butt, the well-known punk/metal guitarist - is 30 years old...
Right, by my reckoning, that means that he must have formed the Desecrators (in '83) when he was only FIVE and he had already been in the Destructors before that...
Never mind The Prodigy - HE must have been a child prodigy comparable to Mozart and that... innit?
