Y'see, there's a school of thought predominant round these parts that says, "Fuck it. You're young, but you can still get served. The government and banks are giving you money, why not rack up debts on ridiculous Pop adventures?". Bloody students, I know.
That's what the loans are for :) When I got my first one three years ago, I immediately ran out and bought... a lava lamp.
So we'd blagged tickets to go see TOTP being filmed, and given up the drink for a while to save for the fare to King's Cross, and - this is the best part- it wasn't just any old episode, it was the Spice Girls Xmas bonanza.
Bastardbastardbastard! I was meant to be taking part in an on-line chat with the Spice Girls, but Capital FM screwed it up, so it never happened :( I was so looking forward to giving Sporty my homepage address so she could see my photo and fall madly in love with me.
Anyway, this is getting very long, so I'll skip the bits about hot lights, metal detectors, and standing about for hours, and rave about how tiny the Famous Five are, how Sporty is easily the coolest, how petite Geri is, and how Posh is a bit tarty. ^^^^^^^ That's one way of putting it!
On a more relevant tip, did anyone hear the Bernard Butler single on the radio?- oh dear
Yeah? I'm still waiting to hear Ian Brown's single.
- and, seeing as Moffat and co. are big news round these parts, wasn't there Breeze Block a joy to behold?
I only bought their album at the weekend there, but it is grand. BTW, the header should say "Hai! Ci! Ja!", because that means Yes in Japanese, Spanish and German, fact-fans. Oh, and anyone wanting to get into TOTP should do what I do. Turn up on the day, and find a group of two or three people. TOTP send out tickets for 4 so you can usually blag in with some complete strangers. Worked for me! Rod. (Smash Hits reader, and proud of it!)
