Blackpool.. the verdict?

I had a great time as usual except for missing the first two songs then arriving just as Ceremony was coming on. Problem was we were at the back of the hall and at the wrong side!!

It was the first time Boaty had heard it live and we had to fight our way to the front of Hooky!!

Bernard seemed to really enjoy himself, pirouetting like a ballerina! That bouncy dance floor was better than the pleasurebeach too!

Aftershow was a good laugh too although we were all wet through when we left. I will desist from telling about later events for legal reasons.

The girl from Bolton? She say yay!

Thanks for not noticing my smelling pistake.

Glad you're back safe.

(And not a little surprised!)

Barsturd!

Actually, i still want to know anyway - Jem couldn't kill me from there, could she?

Yeah it's was a great set.GUILT was excellent live,as was THESE DAYS.Hadn't noticed ANYTHING wrong Barney's voice,till he mentioned saying he needed to take something for hid throat,to which I shouted PERNOD! Pre-show was a blast,great to see everyone again plus some new faces.MAYA! BOATY! Oh and Clint and his good lady from Oldham.Never got to meet MINXIE,didn't know you were a red-head!

Aftershow at the Rock Club was excellent.Plenty of NO, to the DJ for playing LADYTRON's "17". After dancing all night till 2.30 nursing a bad head (roly-poleys?) went for a suspiciously un-chickeny chicken kebab.

to the Queensgate Hotel after-aftershow party

Monty

Great night last night! :)

Still recovering tho (too many drinks, I even stole Jemmy's wine at one point)... will post some photies from the pub later

It sounds as though we might be a few down for Glasgow, depending on how the Police respond to the allegations.

(I found out today I'm actually a really good liar)

I surfaced after 11 bells,probably did'nt leave until midday(did anyone make it for Brekkie?Last one to go apparently...The Landlady was a bit offish with me and never said call again.In my haze I could'nt work out why,so I just said toodle pip and off I went..But you've brought it all back now I think..Did we semi-trash the gaff?

Anyway,marvelous time,good gig and meet up and bonus disco even had me boogieing to some top tunes.

Great to meet so many people from here,seemed like hundreds(too many to list) who all helped to make it a top night Special thanks to Al,for putting me at ease from the minute I got to the pre gig introducing me to all the friendly people,and generally making sure I had a good night,which I did and more

Though I draw the line at tippex missy

i was looking out for you lot

i saw ness she was right in front of my dad

but i think that was it?

hmm actually if al was there i think i saw him too

Yeah, obviously saw you Jack, didn't wave though 'cos didn't know if you could see me. You were sensible not to come out front, it was the typical Northern-gig lung squashing experience!!

Think I may have a pic of you and your dad, haven't reviewed them yet. Thought it was sweet of him to give you a kiss at the end - awwh!

Great to see everyone in the pub before, new and old faces.

Fantastic atmosphere, beautiful venue. Very happy to hear Guilt. Bernard's dancing seems to have to progressed into sticking his tongue out, flapping his arms and spinning around!

Came away proud owner of my second of Hooky's drumsticks, unfortunately not a matching pair, but can't complain!

Good to meet and have a 'dancing' partner with ORBie at the front.

The land lady legal problems sounds a bit serious, hope it isn't really! Glad we made the decision to go back after the first aftershow do or else would be feeling even worse now :dead:

excellent day and night.theresa had a great time too.was nice to talk to a fair few people.the after show was really ace.staggered back to hotel gayboy at 2 a.m. security threatened to throw me out of the gig just for wearing an harmless bin laden mask

DENY DENY DENY

I'm knackered - Great gig though

:D

Another quality pre-gig piss up. Stand up Adam for picking a decent boozer. Thought it was very Slaughterhouse like. Nice fella too. Excellent pins from Mr.Jarvis too. Thanks to Al,Jemma and whoever else kept the missus company on my frequent visits to the bar!!

Always nice to see the usual faces and some I haven't met before. BRF, Maya, Welshcake, Nick and Em and finally got to gab to John Sludden. All great people. Monty as ever on form! The missus did say Royser's accent was er "lovely"!!

Left around 8.30 and just as well as NO took to the stage 9.05 prompt. We were stood by the mixing desk on the right hand side. Andy Rob was at the desk swigging his Becks. I've heard worse gigs soundwise, Barney kept tailing off on songs due to his sore throat. Highlights were YSF, Temptation, Who's Joe, Guilt and the TPK/BM segue. Turn was performed better than the other times in the past I thought. I really didn't expect a difference in songs to be honest or something not played for a while. Hopefully the Glasgow double header will throw a spanner in the works.

Couldn't believe the rain outside afterwards and the queue to get out which was a joke. Why the fuck didn't they open some more doors?

Ended the night with a curry just by the Blue Room. All in all a good night. Thank fuck I didn't pester Mr Fradley though, phew!!

HIYA DUDE!

Just remembered summat else. What was the beef with that arsehole who smacked Alex and bent his glasses.Alex was ready to knock the b-Jesas out of him,but the security got hold of this lad.
