And all credit to you and your mate Keef, and I know if I thought that someone was in genuine immediate distress and needed the money urgently I'd pony up. But in general the poor unfortunates will accept a pound or so and not push their 'luck' (Christ!) for any more, that's what didn't sit well with Muffins86's account.

The fault lies with me entirely for not keeping up, a fault I intend to remedy before I'm too much older. I'd not have thought of Andrew Eldritch, but now I do think of it, good call.

Christ, it's going to take more than a night on the lash with Danny Baker and Chris Evans to get him out of this one.

I know this sounds unlikely, but from the top deck of the 176 yesterday I'm sure it was Dustin Hoffman I saw entering Mrs Robinson on LL. It was about 2:00 PM or so, can anyone confirm?

PK, an intemperate response to a post by StrangeMartin, to this day jiggered if I can understand what I was thinking at the time, if indeed I was thinking at all. Which i doubt. Cheers.

Which are of course all situations where men are closely grouped together. I think we both know, from our style of posting how utterly ferociously heterosexual we are. At least in intent. And I ask this in the spirit of, let's say camaradarie, but if you did fancy getting an MC Escher 'eating its own tail' style lizard tattoo, from the first Mott the Hoople record on your forearm, and say for argument's sake I might want to do the same, then maybe we could attend the same parlour at round about the same time. What could be more straightforward? Honestly, there's some as will be thinking all sorts. But not us obviously. Why are the tattoo shops called parlours, by the way? I reckon it might be if they started calling them 'pain shops' it might interfere with trade.

hIan Hunter, I know I bang on but I reckon, it's only when he's pegged it that he'll be apprecited for how good he actually is. Microdisney era Cathal Coughlan, when he was good he was on fire. Bob Dylan, not everyone's keen, but if you take 'Like a Rolling Stone' and 'Tangled Up In Blue' as benchmarks... Ray Davis, is there a need to offer examples? Joe Strummer, on his day, as good as it gets. Shane McGowan, always a certain poetry amongst the drunk stuff, also knows how to insert sentimentality to maximum effect. Johnny Rotten or was it Jamie Reid? Never mind. Holland-Dozier-Holland. I can't help myself, nor should anyone else. Lennon and or McCartney, when they worked together and when it worked, aah yes, She Loves You, if there is such a thing as pop genius then it is that.t isn't I'll hang on for a while until it shows up. Looking at you Greil Marcus. No it's alright Greil, just coddin' you. You're alright. I think Ian Dury would deseverdly be in here, and what's more would be as sure of his wordsmithery to want to be well upstairs in the top five, if not three. Flash old raspberry that he was. Gil Scott-Heron, for B-Movie and ReRon, completely out of date, but just lyrically, poetically deft works, that to these ears just don't age. He's done loads of other wonderful pieces, but these are personal favourites, and should be regarded by any right-thinking individual as classics. Pete Townsend, though he can be as blathery a shitehawk who ever drew breath, when he gets it right, it's so right. A singles compilation, Who's Next and Quadrphenia and you're getting it as good ever gets.

In Every Dream Home A Heartache - Roxy Music 'But you blew my mind...'

Oh, Krapp, I just realised that 'Right Fred's Dead' would likely as not be the name of a Queen tribute band, would that be what Trueman might have sidled toward? Happen not. But Queen tribute band, there tha goes, so tha does. I reckon allus is, is as it was, an' all that were nowt, were thraped from't start. See if I'm not right. If it isn't, then I don't know my somewhat irreverent tribute bands, and let's face it I do. ABBRAcadabra, 'the magic of the 70s', Pink Fluid, 'Comfortably Numb' with paraffin, Docksy Music, the band that's there lining up when the Ferry comes into the harbour, Durian Duran, they stink at first, but then despite it all there's a sweetness, 'Save A Prayer', mmmm, OK. I'm not even going near What The Hoople and their nod to Mary Whitehouse, with 'All The Young Prudes'. Still.

Samuel Beckett was quite the follower of leather upon willow, though. And he counted for quite a bit in the theatre. Whether that meant as much or more to Max Wall when he played 'Krapp' or when he was a support act to Mott The Hoople, it's of course difficult to say. Anyway, the point, if indeed point I have one is to suggest a 'tribute' cricket team, one that goes and plays other cricket teams, perhaps in 'classic' matches. If such things exist. I don't know who could 'play' him, but I'm going with the team with 'Fiery' Trueman adopting the name 'Right Fred's Dead'.

I suspect it's because the donation of a 'proper clump' to an individual who is living the sort of appallingly degraded and pitiful life the subject of the thread is leading wouldn't be the course of action for any decent person. I include you SteveO*, I doubt you really meant it. A rush of beer to the head? Been there. I also include anyone who's disagreed with me about the poor wretched kid, none of us would do that. No we wouldn't, anyhow, cheers SteveO. *I note the time of your post, I'd got outside of a few myself by that time, so I'm genuinely empathetic. Honest.

PK, it's a message board, if one has an opinion about another posters post then it's perfectly hunky dory to say so and allow them to reply. Or not. Provided we all confine ourselves to the decencies of debate, then all will be well in the 'hood. I don't know what 'people' you are referring to and as for what they might or might not 'do round here', I'm at a loss. In fact I'd like to make it clear that I'm not 'people' at all, or indeed to my knowledge ever have been. Surely if I think a person has not strictly confined himself to the truth or may have exaggarated a touch, then to give an opinion on it isn't unreasonable? Of course keeping quiet or giving the benefit of the doubt is always an option, so I won't comment on the former and you may be correct about the latter. You never know.

That may well be the reason PR, but I suggest next time you meet up with your cousin, you relate the story back to him and give him a Larry David close-eyeball scrutinisation. One flinch and and wave the printed copy of this correspondece in his face. If you're feeling so inclined, throw in a 'J'Accuse' and spit at his feet. The Christmas gathering might be awkward, but what the hey. And of course PR, to like? What's not to? Geddoutahere!

As ypu say Moos, some form, but on this occasion I'm not buying the story. Keef it actually doesn't have the ring of truth, in my opinion. Muffins86, I have given amounts of money to the beggarly, but never a full-blooded tenner, I suspect even the most 'liberal' would balk at dishing out that sort of poppy. Then having copped her ten she asked for another three, enough to rouse fuming indignation in even the most mild-mannered of souls. The second time, may or of course may not be part of the arc that leads to part three. It seems as if it might be a justification for your coming righteous ire. Possibly. The third occasion, well of course you 'angrily' and 'aggressively' denounced her, to such an extent that a couple of stout fellows had to intervene. On the basis that they mistook you for her angry boyfriend. Given the descriptions of the poor wretched individual on here (and indeed my own encounters with the poor mare) I'd have kept that to myself. But then it ended up with you looking like the victim. Possibly. Job done. Maybe. As I said before it all seems a little too 'public-house' talk, for me, you know when round six is coming up and everyone wants to 'top' the other with non Ralph McTell 'Streets Of London' war stories. Anyway.
