Take heart, comrades! Better to have Bowlied and been busted than never to have Bowlied at all. Will Blakey from "On the Buses" be doing the random drug searches? I'll get you Hopkins! What frightens me is the thought of over zealous Pontins bouncers conducting the random drug search that dare not speak its name - unannounced rectal probes! I hope band members will be subject to the same rules - that should piss off those weedfreaks Mercury Rev! Record company employees are notorious drug fiends too - I have every confidence that no preferential treatment will be shown them over the weekend. Do you think the same rules apply to the World Darts Championships? Or is it just us lot who get ritual humiliation as an extra bonus activity. Yes, I distinctly remember being encouraged to take loads of alcohol. I think it might have been Jeepster, somewhere near that stuff about sanitary products being taboo. I should threaten them with legal action, like they used to do. Is it illegal to get people's hopes up? Bloody should be. You know how chalets had to be booked as a block? Do they have to be cancelled as a block as well? If so, how did those people who cancelled manage to come to an amicable agreement? Curiouser and curiouser... Tim, you're being very feisty, aren't you? Are you revving up for the weekend, or what? You're wrong about Mercury Rev though. I like half-arsed space rock, but I don't like Mercury Rev. I would describe it more as half arsed faux roots with a wobble board. I'll probably learn to love it though. Momus is cousins with Derek out of Del Amitri. Both shite. Duke now has two fawning reviews on Amazon.co.uk website. I think one of them's from the wounded party in the great Lovin' Spoonful scrimmage. I don't know who the other plonker is. Mitchell, the Kate Jugsy CD I saw wasn't the one you've got (which is indeed very fine), it was by Kate and one of her mates, who also sports a Brian May frightwig. According to the sleeve, they recorded it when they were both a mere twenty summers old. Probably virgins. Mitchell, I tried to print out "Scampi Fries from Hell" but it came out all funny. Would it be possible to do a plain text version for dull oafs? I did notice a welcome mention for Slade though. Have fun at Bowlie, and don't forget the competitions.
