I'm afraid I didn't see you, then. He didn't look all that old to me in the
dim light in the place, but I noticed he was carrying a tiny rucksack over
his arm like a handbag and danced like a maniac to Formula One. Anyone want
to own up...

They _were_ top. I'd never heard Truck Train Tractor before, but thought it
was great. Why did so many people leave after the support bands, though...
had they dragged all their mates along or something?

I don't know of anywhere round here that organises a pop quiz. Shame... I'd
be up for it. What happened to the NME pop quiz that travelled round the
universities a couple of years ago - did they not bother again? I mainly
drink near where I live - The Fenton - also now and again The Dry Dock, the
Old Bar (in the union) and the Firkin (because it's better than the Old
Bar).
