Colin's now in Mancland. My head hurts. Last night was great (I think), but I have no idea when Col got that photie with Hooky. He was waving a great one of me at me on his phone at one point, giving the Hookster me Vikings badge. Like the fukcing Cistine Chapel ceiling it was....

Flag is safe & sound....though thre was at least one Aberdeen would-be casual giving me plenty of stick last night...."WIM" must've riled him up....

Probably a bit narked as Scotland haven't reached the World Cup finals (again) 
Glad that the flag is back.

Two hours? That's sounds like bliss to me at the moment, with this fookin' backache.
Wish that I could have been there....

Funny, I wish I hadn't bothered. Brixton Academy sounds like it was much better last night.

Oh dear. Doesn't sound good....
It was a top night, which fell to peices a bit at the end. No biggy though, it was time to go home anyway. A couple of bad apples who were friendly enough earlier but got jittery after their WIMming. Life's about new experiences though, and I have never had the experience of being threatened with a New Order/Stoke flag being shoved up my, erm, erse before!
Chemical Brothers with Bernard Sumner at the Academy would have been a better bet though. Hope to see the Chems again on this tour. Worth it for the lights alone, although the music is spot on too.
@ Hooky
"Hmmmm, I wonder what will happen if i play our England world cup song to a room full of footballingly challenged Scots"
Evil bastard. Love 'im

Honestly???!! 
That flag has a lot to answer for... (I suppose Hooky made it ten times worse playing WIM) Like rubbing salt into the wounds...

He knew EXACLTY what would happen.
He didn't seem to stick around much after his set, funnily enough.
As I said, 90% of the room were really friendly. Lots of cameras taking pictures of Hooky and one another. One girl came and asked me if she could take my pic - was going to ask her why later on but events took over and I never got the chance. There was a bloke their who looked the IMAGE of Shug (well he did to me and Clayhead after god knows how many ales). The Shug-a-like was delighted to hear that we had a mate who was as handsome as him and more than happy to pose for some pictures (which will be posted here soon). The flag went down a storm; loads of people came over and asked about it, congratulating CH for coming all that way for Hooky. Even after WIM, most of the crowd took it in good spirit, which was why the sudden animosity was so surprising. I suppose it only took one or two people to misunderstand where we were coming from and we were suddenly the auld enemy personified. With hindsight, a few people were busy taking offence at WIM and we march across the dancefloor waving a red and white flag? Well, Auld Enemy or not, we were on their manor and we were taking the piss to the tune of their much-hated England football song.
It didn't spoil the night though - it was a good laugh, Hooky's the man, Clayhead is too.

No, YOU de man!! (He says sitting in Colin's house drinking his booze - which I'll replace, honest!).
Did anyone think I wasn't gonna come all this way and NOT take the piss??!!????
Are you remembering more of last night, or is it still a blur?
You on your own? Get your fucking feet off my chair!
Col, I was just saying to Steve (Campbell) in an email that the flag has done more miles than me and has a better social life probably! :D It's probably going to have it's own website soon.
I agree, Fradders is a top bloke. Mad, as well for travelling all the way up there (Did he drive up to Aberdeen?)
Well travelled? It nearly went somewhere that NOTHING else has ever been last night!
:moon:
I have no idea how MF got to Aberdeen. He just arrived on my doorstep, as if he'd been delivered by some weird milkman of fun.
I'll leave a note out in future...
NO CLAYHEAD TODAY, THANKS.

:D It's the look of realisation that, yet again, "we"'ve stalked the fucker down purely to adore him :)
Been thinking BTW...remember what Bernard said at hyde park (?) "we love the words, but can you not come up with a better tune"
Maybe we should?

Oh no, not on my own. Get yer feet off the chair, Pam!!
(One of these days I'll tell you how grateful I am for this, Colin. I'll probably cry.....)

I have that image well and truly stuck in my head now. Thanks Martin 
Just got a mailing from Lo Down...
"What a weekend at Lo Down! First up on Friday night was the infamous Peter Hook from New Order, followed by Hacienda legend, Jon Dasilva. Two tips Hooky: (1) Learn to use the equipment before calling yourself a DJ & (2) Don't warm-up for Dasilva with non-stop New Order anthems!"
Wonder if they'll offer him a residency?
