Monkeys Fist

Shit. Came to post some crap and saw this. Absolutely gutting news. RIP to one of the nicest blokes ever to pull on the shirt.

The old bugger's only gone and died! Is nothing sacred?

HMHM- proper gorm. * fuck off, I'm lashed

I've just had the most amazing conversation with my mam, Ma Fist. She worked at/ frequented clubs like the Pariji (sp) The Club A-Go-Go and Greys in the 1960s. All this I was well aware of, (one of my earliest memories is sitting on one of the roulette tables in Greys, playing with the chips and dice aged about 3- an uncle, who married her sister, owned Greys until the mid 70s, which was how the conversation got started), but I'd never really quizzed her about what it was like- did the reality match up to the perceived idea of Newcastle in the 60s? Briefly, she was good mates with Chas Chandler and Eric Burdon, (although in her opinion Burdon was over rated ), she was on good terms with the Stones, pre- 1965 *, Long John Baldry was a regular stopover at the family home in Benton, and she knocked back " that singer out of the Spencer Davis Group, although if Spencer had tried, she might've been tempted" -that singer being Stevie Winwood Mental. She also recounted her, first hand, version of the Kray's brief visit to Newcastle, which isn't anywhere near as dramatic as Mr. Wraith's fantasy, " they were nice and polite, the gay one was the best looking but his brother was much more pleasant to talk to". Mind blown- Merry Christmas lads. * there's a well established tale of Wyman and Watts coming to the family home on Benton Lane to see my , then, 16yr old Aunty just before they became huge. Turns out it wasn't a one-off

Have more sex, with ladies an' that.

Anyway Bisping? Make your mind up ffs.

Is it called that because you end up speaking like Don Corleone?

Is Anyone Bisping his name or are you pissed
