Ooooh Matron!

I read all of the fantabulous gig reviews fervently (especially the Dunfermline ones, cos *I was there* and met the divine Misses Honey and Linda, Keef, mister Ally Cook sir and Willyem) but every time I attempted to write a post, Cliff stopped me, sang a verse of 'Mistletoe and Wine' and sent me screaming off into the Forth.  

Always one to get nostalgic after the event, me.  Although I must discourage the tall folks amongst you from attempting to sit down in Carnegie Hall due to squished in-ness.  Perhaps we should have sat cross-legged at the front and sipped on free milk (oh they don't have that any more, do they?)  I was sad to have missed the Glasgow do, especially since the band pulled all the stops out with The Smiffs, but I was rolling around in newspaper and parcel tape.  If you want some pictures, well, you're better off with some kind of Blue Peter porn (the gnome in the garden will do anything for a fiver and a good rub down with a brillo pad)

The new eepee is sitting on a table somewhere in my flat but still hasn't been played due to the fact that my stereo is residing in Stirlingshire.  The front cover reminds me of the Monkees or even better, Peter Paul and Mary.  Or even worse, Supergrass.

I read that Ken has had his flowing locks chopped off, so my hair twin is no longer.  In years to come, when the RBD are played on VH-1, and our nieces and nephews ask 'Aunty Vic...whatever happened to Ken Chu?', I can open my photo album, point at some of my choice and less severe bobbed haircuts and say 'He's still here, sandwiched between Donald Duck and my friend Feather' That would actually be nicer than it sounds.

To all youz lot who are off to the lovely Albert Hall this weekend, I would say 'Have fun, don't arse around on the balcony and remember that the last thing an Eric Clapton fan wants to find is an old Red Bull can with a love letter inside addressed to a man with arms of sex'  (So leave that pen at home, Hon!) Spare some thought for who may be in your place next Saturday evening.

To those of you who aren't venturing to Lahndahn, I would say 'I'll be baking cake this weekend, and you're all welcome'

Love you all
