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.

Heard it? I've got it mate. To continue in the same vain. You must remember this one. A Guy Called Gerald - Voodoo Ray

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!

Snorky has raised a few good points about the England v Scotland games and I remember the regular invasions from north of the border very well. Literally London would be awash with pissed up Scots for four days at a time but '67 and '77 in particular stand out in the memory. '67 because they'd beaten what was then the world champions and a certain Jim Baxter had the game of his life taking the piss out of Alan Ball, and playing keepy uppy and obviously you could understand their euphoria after such a result and performance. In '77 they invaded the pitch at the end and took home bits of the wembley turf as sourvenirs and smashed the goalposts. Hooliganism was at it's worse around this time and thankfully we have moved on from those times. I'd only like to see us play Scotland in competitive games and not go back to the Home Internationals. I was at the Euro '96 match at Wembley when we beat Scotland 2-1 when Gazza scored that brilliant goal. I was behind the goal when Seaman saved the penalty. The atmosphere was amazing but it was the Scots who made the most noise and their supporters were brilliant. They never stopped singing and supporting their team throughout and from what I could tell from the whole time they were in London they behaved themselves unlike in the 70s when the violence spilled out onto the streets for days. Not that the England fans were beacons of pacifism I hasten to add.

I don't care much for shops like Celestial, there are already too many of their kind around the Lane and North Cross Road selling what I regard as useless tat but I guess there must be a market for them otherwise they wouldn't survive, so good luck to them. I'd like to be impartial and not take sides here and I'd really like to here Celestial's side of the story but being the inveterate wino that I am I feel a natural inclination to offer my support for the fine and worthy premises that is Green & Blue even though I am only a more recent convert to their highly salubrious drinking establishment.

Some real American weirdness from '78. Are we not men? Devo - Jocko Homo

I've still got that album MP.

I've been trying to do that but it won't work for me either. Grrrr!!

A classic from '77. The Ramones - Blitzkrieg Bop

I remember you mentioning that once before Sean. This is when they were very good indeed. The first two albums are classics. Roxy Music - Do the Strand

I asked my girlfriend to tell me something that would make me happy and sad at the same time. She said I've got a bigger dick than my dad. (From: Popbitch website)

One of my favourite songs from one of my favourite bands ever. The Velvet Underground - Waiting For The Man

Touched a nerve there haven't we Snorky. I forgot you won the InterToto Cup last year, you must have been over the moon about that. First bit of silverware since ooooh...let me think now...ummm...oh yes the Fairs Cup in 1969, oh! sorry didn't you win the Texaco Cup somewhere in between too? For your information I've been a long suffering Spurs supporter since the early 60s. True, we haven't won much of late and I didn't stop supporting them when they were relegated in '77. I have and will always support them through thick and thin and you're to be applauded for doing the same with Newcastle United.
