Cuana D: Peter Saville soundtrack and DIGI MIKES Brixton cds? - if so, drop me your address in an email.
KLF: A link to some graphics site? whatever it was, drop me a question in your email.
Mike: Thanks for the Brixton CD, its fab. A great way to relive the whole thing.
For the life of me, I can't remember what the hell it was. I'll think about it some more - I'm sure it'll come to me.
Just recalled chatting with TIM and thinking how very polite and articulate he is.Then i have found out he wasn't PISSED.Very nive to talk with him again though.I only WISH i could remember some of YOU others i spoke to but due to me having this AWFUL disease-WORK-then i sometimes have a MEMORY loss.

Roll on the calendar idea...
Indeed

He dedicated Ceremony (or was it Love Vig?) in memory of Phil Grubb, who passed away from cancer in the summer, and said everyone was thinking of him, especially his brother Darren, who was with us. Nice touch from Hooky, what a diamond.
If you see the Vikings badge in my avatar the Blue Monday colour codes round the side stand for P.G. - Phil's initials.
Of course, in true New Order stylee they did initially put RIP PHIL CHUBB across the speakers, but that got changed before the band came on!
The conversation I had with you now makes complete sense!:)
Great night all round apart from 5.00 am the next day when my car was robbed off the drive outside the house.
The car has now been recovered relatively unscathed apart from all its contents which have of course disappeared including at least 8 NO cds which I had been playing continuously for the last 2 weeks prior to the gig.
The scrotes had however left one cd behind and guess what it was? BSP's Open Season. I wonder why!

Shite, sorry to hear this Chris. If they were live CDs I'll happily do you new copies, just let me know which ones.
Craking Gig took my 13 year old son along and he said it was Ace, I'm pleased to say.
What is the Internet feed like, any good?

Thanks Al. I noticed it said Chubb but didnt realise it changed later.
Could you make out what it said above 'Chubb/Grubb'? I couldnt from where i was.
A roadie spray painted the alteration before the first song - I have pictures of both versions.

Thanks for the offer, Tim. The Hemel Hempstead 85 that you let me have a year or two back wasnt amongst them. You live and learn.

In the middle of my own bogus adventure (the telling of which I'm still trying to work myself up to), I bumped into him, out by the side, looking like something between a shellshock patient and a fresh-ish corpse, eyes not on the band, but sweeping the crowd like a man possessed.
Yeah, I was cunted.

Yes, got kicked in the face by him, thankfully only lightly. I would have stuck it out though even with a broken nose!

Twice I got the start of that 'arm around Barney' story. Don't remember hearing the end of it tho
Maybe it was just too horrible to face and you erased it, where was Mrs S at this point? she looked rightly fucked when I glimpsed her as I was zombie-ing my way around after the gig.
:D
And finally......just what were you doing Vincent? Greg'll stiffen ye

HAHAHA! Priceless picture of Vinny, that surely rates up there with Garys Barney pic at Brittany
Steve looks like he's finally achieved nirvanah (no jokes involving cunt deadguy or his corpse feeding whore wife please)
that last one BTW should be a caption competition surely?
Ness:"I seriously hope that IS a gun in your pocket mate"

Poor Vinny - he should have known where a comment like that would lead

The guy who nearly decapitated you was "our kid" his brother gary mac came over the top at the other side of us 5 minutes later. The only good point of this was the poor guy in front of me decided he had had enough and buggered off, leaving me his place in the front. I am eternally grateful.
