The last time I went to Glastonbury in '83 or '84, can't remember which, I woke up on a pool table in Mr Eavis's house.

That's a shame Snorky, I'd love to hear it. But I'm sure Mr Admin lives in constant fear of the libel laws.

Excellent idea. As long as I can be Viv, I'm in on that one. "Five years ago I was a four stone apology, today I am two seperate gorillas".

Oh blimey! Fear, I'm a huge Bonzo Dog fan, got all their stuff. They used to play the Bird In Hand in Forest Hill. Vivian Stanshall's a big hero of mine. Saw him once at a Screamin' Jay Hawkins gig many moons ago, dressed in a white suit, beard tied in a knot, in state of enormous intoxication, dancing like a lunatic with some young blonde who certainly wasn't his wife. He seemed to be having a very good time indeed. They don't make 'em like that anymore.

Eh? You've lost me there Fear 'n Boozin. You been at the sauce today?

Oh no you didn't. I did, so there! Actually it's a line from the Vivian Stanshall film Sir Henry At Rawlinson End.

If I had all the money I've spent on drink...I'd spend it on drink!

Work is the curse of the drinking classes.

I hope they enjoy their retirement and you get your clothes back. Anyone looking for another place to take their laundry look no further than His Lordship's on the Lane opposite Moxons. I've been using them for years and the service and quality of their work is always excellent and the staff very friendly.(tu)

Surely you're having a laugh here aren't you Macroban?

I guess that makes him human.

Thanks Sean, but I could probably find it on their website. Actually, I quite like the new Berliner style Observer. But two quality papers is a little too much me when I'm hungover on a Sunday.

No, me neither Sean and I didn't get my copy of the Review as I wanted to read the piece on Pete Townsend. I may have to transfer my allegiences to the Observer. Perish the thought.

I usually tip my barber a couple of quid. The same goes for taxi drivers. Restaurant staff, if the service is good, ten-per-cent of whatever the bill is.

Well said James. Unfortunately there are still certain loathsome people like the aforementioned Richard Littlejohn (Smallprick?) in the Sun who are still living in the 70s and then you have newspapers like the Daily Mail and the Express who are still living in the 1950s FFS, spreading their vile prejudices.

Spot on Keef, well said.(tu)

I've watched it in the past and got terribly addicted but having weaned myself off it this time round I think I'd rather be flayed with a cat o'nine tails than watch the current bunch of morons on BB. Mind you having said that....some people would pay a lot of money for that sort of thing.:(

As their schooldays weren't spent

Who wanted to eat Al Fresco

Friday afternoon friends' birthday drinks down at the Dog, followed by snifter or two in Inside 72, then ate an excellent red snapper down at the Drum, back to '72 for beer and Jack Daniels, cocktails in Black Cherry, then back to the Drum, poured myself into a cab at 2.20am. More of the same on Saturday Sunday: Superglued myself to the sofa with a copy of the Sindy.

Any Americanism or murdering of the English language annoys me and offends my ears. Even when people say "Hi" or "Hiya" instead of "Hello". Also, people constantly saying "know what I mean" or putting "innit" on the end of every sentence, assuming they can string one together in the first place. Ignorant people with little vocabulary or erudition. Blockheads!

Fortunately, I missed them completely but there are a few bombs going off in my head this morning.:)-D
