Alreet @Kevin Carr's Gloves, stopping in tonight again?

Gemmill would’ve been over the cliff in seconds- “ He’s got string for legs and is ginger” “ Say no more Howmanidas!”

I like turtles.

FYP

I was going to watch this, but I had the same thought- “ don’t fanny on with it, you don’t have to” Cheers for the heads up 👍

I don’t approve of cocktails

I can’t believe we all had this conversation and no one asked ewerk if his “lass” had a stiff upper lip?

If you like FZ, it’s a must watch tbh. And he was Bill.

Alex Winter’s* Zappa documentary is on bbc iplayer at the moment. Obviously I’m fairly biased as a fan of his, but it’s pretty good as music documentaries go. It’s not out to convert anyone- the pieces of his that are used tend to be some of his more “out there” stuff, and it doesn’t pretend that he was some blissed out love freak- if anything, he comes across as a very single-minded, not particularly likeable bloke… a bit of a cunt, really But it’s absolutely honest, and does a great job of showing the changes, and constants, in his career over his lifetime. Using “Watermelon in Easter Hay” for the end credits was a lovely touch by the director- it was written by Zappa for his son, Dweezil, and he considered it to be his best and favourite guitar piece. It’s also the last guitar solo that the protagonist of the albums it’s from, Joe’s Garage, gets to play, so was a particularly good choice to wrap up with. ( Zappa requested that no one play it live after he died until Dweezil had, which took him until 2013 to perfect it, and be able to play it without breaking down. The first time he did was in London and it was filmed here.) * yes, that Alex Winter, from Bill and Ted

That cameraman has a had a few mind, is it your mate who shagged Liz Hurley?

I’m surprised The Former Loyal Foot Soldier and TMGRSWOFTY 2014 hasn’t provided his loyal puntaz with a quote or two from Supermac or Moncur. The crown is slipping…

Perfect!

On my way to the Labour Club to apologise.

Oh has he died?

I once woke up in a ditch about 15 miles away, and 2hrs before, I was meant to do a 2 day canoe trip training new staff. One of the local French villages, Vagnas ( I shit thee not), held a fortnightly fete where they sold red wine and rocket fuel punch for 50p a glass. It was a legendary piss up attended by all the British paddlers. Fortunately, PGL, who had three centres nearby, were so used to Vagnas casualties that they’d run a “sweeper bus” the morning after, picking up lost staff- I managed to blag a lift and made it in time to shower and pack for the trip. I was wobbly as fuck until lunchtime

All the gammons that voted Leave to keep out “the bloody Albanians and Eastern Europeans!” after hearing this…

Aye, but Phiiiiiliiiiippe was a Geordie.

No one knows what true Belgians look like as they’re all locked in cellars screwing their kids.

I’m sure I’ve posted this before, but the street High Bridge, which crosses Grey Street, is named after the bridge which crossed the Lort Burn there, before it was culverted and Grey Street was built. The Lort Burn still flows under Grey Street, and empties in to the Tyne just east of the Guildhall. ( Lort is Old English/Norse meaning “shit, rubbish” so the nicest street in the Uk is built on the Shit Burn). The High Bridge is still there, under the street, as it was just built in to the sewer/culvert rather than knocking it down. The large stone blocks at the top are the actual bridge, the smaller arch further back is part of the sewer construction. ( the white dot is obviously a ghost and the red blur is Derek Acorah shitting himself).

It’s great to see Keith going for the jugular mind. Fucking have it !

Did he have big tiddies?

Have you really? Sounds like you approached it with your usual rigor.

Thanks for the inside’er tips.
