Would you believe things are so desparate the poor girl is reduced to singing in public to try and get by. The bridge over the High Street is already booked so it looks like they're going for broke and trying to raise a crowd at The Cliffs Pavilion, you can throw coppers into a hat there on 6th Feb. 2008. I just hope something turns up between then and now, just what did she spend all that money from Shrimpres, Scamps and who knows where else, on ?

Rather odd that you should bring that to the attention of the great unwashed there Audie, that selfsame evening the original "Abdabs" will be cranking out the original set from 79, but with Chris Evert. the 3 time former Wimbledon champion as guest vocalist, its 2 quid to get in (top alex) 3 quid to get out, and all proceeds will be passed on to the barman in the Jellicoe on Canvey the following evening, should be a screamer!

Have a team of runners spread out along the cliffs, as soon as Chris Evert finishes with "Good night Southend" rush the takings up to Westcliff and give the girl a hand up, it could be a cold dark winter for her otherwise.

We are booked into "Saks" the following evening with the fabulous "Steffi Graf" taking over from Chris, and should her tonsils let her down,"Billie jean King" will be there with her ukelele doing a lifelike impression of "Paul Eves" out of the "Convicted". Should that go tits up then we are in shit, god help us all.

I must admit this correlation between lawn tennis and punk rock has eluded me up until now but the more I drink about it the more it seems to make perfect sense.

Just to be "Politically correct" i think we need to find a role for arthur ash somewhere. Maybe he and Michael Chang could do the sound or assist DTR with the roadcrew.

Well..OK but the "Arthur Ashe" stuff you'll need to speak to Audie about, its his thread after all. Last time I saw him he was sporting a fairly sensational tan himself.

Yep, I'll be the one following on behind Chris Evert carrying her racket bag as she attempts the stairs of the Top Alex... she's still got a lovely forehand with a soft touch when needed at the net... so should do the job for time being until we get Goolagong on board for the Saks gig..
Nice fella that Ashe bloke so I'm told.. but has the tendancy to drop an amp or two after having an afternoon on it with Nastase before a gig.. so best rub him out and get Cash in ..

Chris Evert??.... Racket bag??....stairs??.....Top Alex??...Forehand??...soft touch??...net??....time being??..Goolagong??...Saks?..pull yourself together Dave man, you'll be telling us next that in addition to not remembering "Fisherman", that you can't recall "Roaming woman" or even "Tell me lord" for that matter. The can be no possibility of a fully fledged "Abdabs" reunion, with or without Peggy Mount, until you finish your rehab course, and either myself or Anabdab recieves a positive evaluation of your current mental state from the powers that be, you mad bastard.

Micchipbag, I must pick you up on your phraziolo, fraseol, on the words you use. "Mad bastard", however accurate, is now apparently considered derisive. The correct P.C. term to describe someone of Daves mental frailty is "from Billericay". Likewise the name "Ashe" with its obvious connotations to cigarette smoking is no longer acceptable. I don`t care how good the man was with a tennis wicket, if he wants to remain immortalised as one of the Wombledon greats he`ll have to find a new moniker. Something like Arthur Nicorette patch or Arthur No thanks I`m trying to give them up. It occurs to me how far ahead in his thinking was the great sixties vocalist Nosmo King.

How can you get two pints of water into one pint glass?? no tricks, honest, two pints into the same glass, simultaneously and at the same time? if no'one gets it I will post the answer on "Huh" on Tuesday, at about teatime.

Well when I say "mad bastard" I quite obviously didn't mean "mad bastard" the way you're thinking of it , you grizzly aged old sceptic, I typed it with a twinkle in my eye, a sort of "We are all mates together in this, Dave old bird" sort of way, I yield to no man in my appreciation of Dave's many fine qualities, that boy spent the best years of his life trying to simuoltaneously (?) hold up my snare drum and keep my hi hat from collapsing, how could I not love the old whatnot?

Me.. Mad Bastard.. took it as a compliment Mick..
No Further... bloody remember that one I do as if it were yesterday, in fact it was yesterday, as I found me long lost demo tape.. all you pop pickers out there who want a copy will have to wait till I can find someone who can get it from tape to one of those new fangled CD thingys..
Your kit, Mick, had a mind of its own.. just when you thought it was safe to go to the bar to buy you another beer... your floor tom collapsed... f*ck me.. never got that problem with a certain Ms Evert i bet.

As usual spot on there old stegosaurus, but what a relief it is to get away from "Huh"' eh?, I done all the pioneering work on that thread, made it the thread it is today, whilst Anabdab was swanning about the planet larging himself in what can only be described as a "truly sickening" manner.........There I was quitely going about my buisness in that unobtrusive manner that made me so popular last thursday, a bit, and that.

Were it not for that fact that we live in enlightened times, one might feel justified in describing that bird in"girls aloud" as a "cheeky little minx", and also that blonde sort in "Abba" as a "saucy strumpet", thank god for PC eh?
