okay, stakes are raised here i can tell ... the first time i saw the
damned
play in late 1976 in the marquee club on wardour street, i queued up two
persons behind the great john peel as we wound our way downstairs and the
punks lined up to spit on him (and me, among others) since we were clearly
hippies (distinguished by my afghan and waist length hair and peely's
general whatthe**** demeanour) and rat scabies (always late for a gig,
whatever the occasion) pushed past me in his rush for the stage ...
is this good enough ?
oh, and when i was social sec at imperial in 1979 ... lemmy once pissed on
my leg in the bogs during our freshers ball ... but that's another story
...
and another thing ... 1972 ... liverpool empire ... hawkwind live album
...
space ritual ... on side 3 during space is deep, i swear you can hear me
screaming when staysha took her clothes off ..
badger XXX (feeling very old)
anyway ... today, what really pisses me off is that i introduce the
magnificent Cips to COD playing and she beats me .. every single bloody
game, the woman is an absolute sodding killer ... if you ever see "david
blunkett's *****" on a COD server ... beware, she is is an assassin and i
hate her
