And there Keef lies the problem. It's all about money these days isn't it.

Bruce Robinson's script and direction is flawless. There are just so many classic lines in it. Along with A Clockwork Orange it's one of my all-time favourite films and still makes me laugh like a drain whenever I see it. I first saw it at the Haymarket cinema when it came out and had a certain George Melly sitting two rows in front of me with a young chicken either side of him and couldn't help make the comparison to Uncle Monty in the film.

So who's for the Scotland job then...Gordon Strachan anyone?

I love this band have all of their records and this track is gorgeous. Saint Etienne - Hobart Paving

Anyone knocking on my door at such a ridiculously early hour would get short shrift from me. In fact, I'd probably sleep through it anyway. I don't answer the door to anyone unless I'm expecting someone to call.

Also, the West Ham-Spurs game yesterday, was it just me but did anyone else notice that Lennon and McCartney were playing?

Big Sam needs all the help he can get. Unfortunately the Board of Directors at Newcastle do not have a good track record in backing the manager (Bobby Robson being a very good case in point). They seem to hire 'em and fire 'em every couple of years. How many managers have they had in the past decade alone? He needs a commanding centre-back, make that two, a couple of full-backs, ditto the midfield and a top of the range centre forward which is very hard to come by these days unless you've got ?25 million to spare. He'll probably have to sell Michael Owen in order to finance some of these purchases and the sooner he does the better because his stock in on the wane due to being so injury prone. On his day of course when he's fit he a great asset for any team to have as he's a natural goalscorer but it's a bit like having a Rolls Royce that's always in the garage. I think Big Sam, if he's given the time and the serious financial backing that he needs to rebuild will prove to be successful in the long run at Newcastle but will the Board of Directors and the new Chairman have the patience to see it through? Only time will tell.

Keef, you're such a headbanger. I agree with you about open air or stadium gigs though. Much rather be in a hot sweaty little club, but a thousand??! 300 - 600 is more like it. I remember seeing U2 at the Marquee club in Wardour Street when they were first starting out and that was fabulous little place to see up and coming bands.

I take it Snorky, you're not happy with the way things are going on Tyneside with a certain Mr Allardyce?

I really can't remember Atila, it's such a long time ago but it wouldn't surprise me. I remember going to see the Stones in '76 at Knebworth and a couple of friends of mine made a fortune that day by selling beer to the filthy, unwashed and thirsty (me included).

If we've got to have an English manager then I suppose 'Arry Boy's gotta be in with a shout.

I agree with Floating Onion. I was completely hammered and that's not a pretty sight.

Hmm..I thought we were all over West Ham in the first 20 minutes until that dodgy penalty decision against Keane. It was only when the hapless Younis Kaboul made that dreadful error that led to the first goal that West Ham gained a bit of confidence. I thought about watching it in the EDT but settled for the CPT instead. Only one Hammers supporter in there yesterday but he made enough noise all the same, especially once Defoe came on.

Disappointed Spurs didn't come away with all three points at Upton Park yesterday and I bet Hammers supporters (step forward Mr Mockney Piers) were laughing like drains when Jermaine Defoe missed the penalty in the last minute. Right! The England manager? Gotta be Fabio Capello hasn't it?

I was at that Who gig at Charlton in '76 Atila and you've described it perfectly the way the steam was coming off of everyone during The Sensational Alex Harvey Band's set. Also there that day was Little Feat, Windowlicker, The Outlaws and someone else that slips my mind but porobably shouldn't. I was at the one in '74 too which was one of my first gigs. The bill included The Who (obviously) Lou Reed, Humble Pie, Bad Company (only their eighth gig) Maggie Bell, Lindisfarne and Montrose. But the first ones I can remember going to were Stackridge at Oliver Goldsmith's College in '73, Hawkwind, the Pink Fairies and few others who slip my mind (due to too many drugs)at Windsor Free Festival around the same time and Nils Lofgren at Croydon Greyhound in '74. Then came the Who.

It's on my list to see as well. Not sure if Brick Lane is too girly for us boys though, (we're not all macho beefcake blockheads insensitive to women's feelings). I was a little disappointed in the book but I'd quite like to see the film. Last time out at the Ritzy I saw Closer which was an excellent black & white portrayal of the doomed Ian Curtis.

And more beer and whiskey chasers and a few Sambucas too. It's Friday FFS Who needs food? Time to get hammered.

Can't believe this is 16 years old, where'd the time go? Future Sound Of London - Papua New Guinea

When Apollo Mission Astronaut Neil Armstrong first walked on the moon, he not only gave his famous "one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" statement but followed it by several remarks, usual comments between him, the other astronauts and Mission Control. Just before he re-entered the lander, however, he made the enigmatic remark "Good luck Mr. Gorsky." Many people at NASA thought it was a casual remark concerning some rival Soviet Cosmonaut. However, upon checking, there was no Gorsky in either the Russian or American space programs. Over the years many people questioned Armstrong as to what the "Good luck Mr. Gorsky" statement meant, but Armstrong always just smiled. On July 5, 1995 (in Tampa Bay FL) while answering questions following a speech, a reporter brought up the 26 year old question to Armstrong. This time he finally responded. Mr. Gorsky had finally died and so Neil Armstrong felt he could answer the question. When he was a kid, he was playing baseball with a friend in the backyard. His friend hit a fly ball which landed in the front of his neighbor's bedroom windows. His neighbors were Mr. & Mrs. Gorsky. As he leaned down to pick up the ball, young Armstrong heard Mrs. Gorsky shouting at Mr. Gorsky, "Oral sex! You want oral sex?! You'll get oral sex when the kid next door walks on the moon!"

Seeing as this seems to be the only way I can put these up I've had to put 'em as attachments.

That's right, they'd all been getting pissed up in local bars. Even attacking a driver in a Mercedes Benz because it was a German car. Blockheads!
