Hello again everyone,
Sounds like you people had a great day at the London Picnic on Monday,
sounded like a right craic. Sorry I couldn't make it, boo hoo, I wanted
to, but I had a bit of an accident whilst in London last Thursday
night.....
....As i was walking through the subway, back to the bus stop by Marble
Arch, I felt the urgent need to empty my bladder, as you do!! So, I
managed to find a good toilet spot halfway up some steps, right under
Marble Arch, and proceeded to do what a man's got to do, even commenting on
the security camera in the corner, which I noticed when it was far too
late! As I was finishing up I turned around and noticed some headlights at
the top of the steps. I could just make out the letters between the
lights.....P..O..L..I..C..E..... I thought, "Oh dear" or words to that
effect, and not wishing to mistaken for impersonating George Michael,
proceeded to run back down the steps, and run for dear life as fast as I
could through the subway, and as I approached the slope leading up to Park
Lane, tripped and fell right over, scuffing my knee, hip and elbow in the
process. Just my bloody luck!! Still, I got right back up and continued
to run and managed to evade capture! Anyway, I'm still in agony as a
result of this, and that is why i couldn't make it to the picnic, but
hopefully the next one will be a go-er.
I notice in this weeks NME B&S got the "How the F**k did they get in?"
award for the Jesus and Mary Chain gig, and also Arab Strap get a bit of a
lambasting in the letters page, oh well, you can't please all of the people
all of the time I suppose.
I notice John mentioned Big Country and their Country Club from the 80's,
oh dear, I also succumbed to this, much to my disbelief today, still I was
only young!
Somebody else asked about embarrasing records, well apart from some Big
Country (they really did seem quite good at the time), I've got a few
classics....Cutting Crew, Curiosity Killed The Cat, even bloody Thriller,
but they're all in extremely good nick, cos they never get played. God
weren't the 80's just great? ;o)
Which brings me on to Dexy's Midnight Runners, who once appeared on ToTP
miming to Jackie Wilson said, with a bloody great picture of darts legend
Jocky Wilson behind them - bloody great eh?
Anyway, best be off now.
Take care everyone and remember Big Brother is always watching you so be
careful....
Cheers
Ady

Morning,
Yes, I had a dream about the list last night (well, this morning). It
wasn't so much about the list, but about those on the list that were at
the picnic. It's a bit hazy, but basically, there were about 10 of us
in this kitchen of this house, and what I remember was it was getting a
bit crowded. I rememeber Rory and Susannah trying to find a place to
put down a dish of food, and also no-one wanting to touch this smelly
greeny cheese stuff. I don't really remember much more about it, as it
happened *just* before my alarm went off (at 9.45am for anyone whose
interested). Does having a dream just before you wake up mean anything,
like you're in deep sleep and then you suddenly wake up (i.e. I really
should be sleeping more?) Oh well...
Also, did anyone else see Jo Whiley last night, with Jason Donovan?
It's so wierd seeing him again, after all this time. He seemed a bit
strange, but also really with it for someone who was hounded by the
press for quite a while.
Oh well, ramble over,
Love and Hugs,
GIDxxxx

If the mighty Mr Miller sees fit to out himself as an ex-Big Country fan, I
feel confident to put my hand up as well. My t-shirt had a picture of a
stag "at bay" beside a glistening Scottish loch. It was well smart. I spent
many Sunday mornings mulling over the lyrics of "Porrohman" and "The
Storm" and to this day haven't a clue what they are all about. Not that I've
listened to them for years. Oh, dear me, no.
Cheers, Adam

Claire wrote on Wednesday that
"it is my birthday tomorrow. i will be twenty three. there seems to be a hell
of a lot of birthdays around this time. Any other
taureans?"
Yes, 11 May in my case. August must have been a wicked month for parents of
many listees. Autobiographical Olla will be 21 a day later but my birthday
will be double that! At least Mr Bergman is older.
Claire also wrote:
"what exciting happens at twenty three, oh i have to leave university, damn."
So did I, two days after that 23rd birthday, but 23 was one of the best years
ever, or so my rapidly eroding memory cells seem to think. Does cigarette
smoking prevent Alzheimers?
Did the parents of anybody in B&S have active Augusts?

First, a big "Yay!" to Ooon's grandmother, who has memories of elephants.
Sorry I haven't replied before, I'm mean-spirited. But I'm sure I speak for
the whole list when I say it'll be great "getting to know you, getting to
know all about you".
Second, a big "Yay!" to Bethey's mum. It must be fantastic to have the
fabulous Joe Strummer shout such a lovely thing at you. I like Joe Strummer,
not because of the Clash, but because of "Mystery Train", where he proves
himself to be a very capable actor. "I mean, I don't call you two Sam and
Dave, do I?" Classic.
I liked Big Country too. The twelve inch mixes were particularly impressive,
bringing out the full magnificence of Stuart Adamson's "SHOUT!" Why do I
think that message was a trick to try and "out" Big Country fans? The tape
had extra tracks. I could draw that compass logo. I now own a tee shirt with
that very logo on it, but all references to Big Country cunningly removed.
They went downhill with "Steeltown" which was a load of rubbish about Scots
in...oh dear, I've forgotten the name of the place...something like Croydon,
but not Croydon. Not to worry, seems like a good time to shut up.
