Rue de Lepic to be precise, 18eme Arr. Or *was*, to push the accuracy dinghy out a little further. Ego, The Windmills, The Lucksmiths and Sportique flying the flag for Matinee Recordings in a little boat moored on the Left Bank. A smattering of Sinister presence, the atmosphere of a school trip (but where the smoking and drinking were compulsory rather than clandestine) and a city full of shockingly lovely architecture for the gawping. As an alternative to the super-fine delights of Tigermilking, I suspect Paris in August just about did us OK. A couple of us were a little, shall we say, Beyond Thunderdome on Saturday night though. A tad Turnered. We didn’t need another hero, but we were gasping for two pints of tap water and three Advil. Ailsa made some biting remark about my outstripping her in the embarrassment stakes at the last picnic; round our way it’s considered right classy to hitch your boxers up an inch or two for general perusal, especially if they’re a vivid red with a cycling motif. Not that that actually happened. Propellers to Lixi and UptonActuallyPartOfBirkenhead Pam for the dazzling photos. If you squint at 'Football' you can see the precise moment I pulped my right knee ligaments. Meanwhile, over on the genre-defining 'PamAndLixisPicnic', Hopkins can be seen symbolically laying down in front of Industry Behemoth Kitchen - a kind of PopTianamen moment. To the extreme left, DM-C-UK is depicted flipping through an old photo album for the benefit of Alix… "This was Focus on their ’72 tour - to be frank, I’m not sure Fishguard knew what to make of them". Hunger drags me away, Mike. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
