To follow on from Doctor Clayheads "SHORTS" thread, is anyone interested in getting into the party spirit for the Apollo gig?

Me and my mates used to watch New Order in Bermuda Shorts and Hawaiian Shirts.

I for one am keen to recreate those ace days - anyone up for it?

I will give out free BRIXTON CD's 10th NOV 2005, for all who wear the afore mentioned atire.

Come on let's make theis a GOOD UN !!!

Don reckoned Barney was in Lacoste on Thursday?! I've got plenty of Lacoste!

Even have an Old Skool Bundeswehr tracky top. But, fcuk me, I ain't the type to be seen dead in a tracky top.

Shorts could be a goer though.

Hmmmm hawaian shirts are noticable by their absence in my wardrobe. But shorts, a ceremony T-shirt and a pervert coat, adorned wtih some viking badges, should do the trick. I suppose I should put me shorts on under me trousers, so I can do a presto-chango in JB's. Sorry folks, but I absolutely draw the fookin line at wearing them the whole way over the irish sea, besides, I'm the kinda guy who feels totally naked without at least a Tom Baker's worth of pockets.

You mean 10th Oct 2001 ??

Would wearing Aussie Board shorts and flip flops to Joshua Brookes be good enough ?? I'm fucked if I'm going into the moshpit without getting changed! :\ohwell:

Or just a swap for one or both of the other Brixton 2001 nights ??

JB's staff are gonna think they've got the masons or the monster ravin looney party in.

By the time we leave they may wish they had.

if I keep me shorts on, I have to keep me coat on, for stuff like fags and money and phone and camera, all of which would last only minutes in shorts pockets in normal use, and seconds in a NO gig.

I'm trying to picture myself.... big ass Boots (or maybe trainers I aint decided) bare legs perv coat open to reveal ceremony shirt and dark glasses (unless anyone knows any good ways to make sure my good ones don't get moshed if I were them into the gig)

I'm just sorry I don't have a really silly hat to set the whole ensemble off. Perhaps a standard issue wooley lid worn in the stoopid upright style would do.

hard to say if i'll look more like a python character or just an escaped mentalist.

EDIT: Good man that Monkey, glad to see someone bring a little glory to the table of the Sarfern order.

I dunno, but remind me I owes you a drink for a gig you sent me :)

Actually I do know, Birthday suit is not good, some of us will want to eat in/after jb's (dependent upon availability and quality of pub grub)

I have a MINTY MINT pair of TEN HOLED DOCS that i am thinking of wearing too! :hat:

that makes me want to wear my workboots:) However, given that operations in the shoe area are medically difficult for me [1] so I fear my flmisy slip ons or at most trainers will be the order of the day.

That's sort of annoying, cos boots would be perfection with my outfit, but what's a guy to do (/me simpers demuirly and minces off)

I can always rememeber school....no shoes in the asembly hall., I'd be takig a note (or often my own sorry in-trouble arse) to the office like an hour after assembly and there would still be a couple dodgy lookin blokes trying to relace 10+hole DM's

EDIT: I just remembered a drummer I used to know who for years threatenned to and eventually did, go onstage wearing nothing but a pink dressing gown and a pair of Doc's. Later he also wore a pair of skimpy shorts mate out of a pair of tartan bondage trousers, following complaints from female (and male, and none human for that matter) audience members.

[1] not for the faint of heart this bit, but,no really, try bending over with a great big abcess on your arse/leg/bollox)

All right then - the shorts are comming with me again - coupled with the bright green NOOL t-shirt - almost the same atire as at Oxegen:laugh: now, will i bring the sandals too?

that would depend on whether you fancy stale beer and piss in your toes apres gig :)

It occurs to me, you chaps will have a serious headstart on the NornOrder, Wonder when the bar opens on the HSS :)

I better not get too mouthy about boozin, there's every chance I'll have two pints and turn a hilarious colour, or that a half of shandy will rubber me for the night, or even WORSE, it could cause booze immunity. The pills that make me an axe murderer if I drink are long gone, and the best advice I could get on the painkillers was, pills, then drink, SLOWLY. Makes sense, any muppet who's ever come home pissed and rolled a huge joint will tell you it's a bad idea to do the slow intake stuff before the heavy hitter. Last time I drank with a few of em in me, I lost interest (good job I only have a UK passport, if I had an Irish one, I'd have been forced to hand it in on moral grounds), LEFT DRINK SITTING, and went and did something else.

I suppose everyone'll be keepin an eye on me then, which is a shame as they'll almost certainly mistake the way I normally am for some horendous drug interaction :)

I'm quite sure a gutfull of food and guiness will see me right, and if the guiness is revolting, I dunno, I just hope the locals have an equivalent alcohol based nutritional supliment (that isn't buckfast) to fotify me :)
