Don't need to turn this intae a massive thread, just put a 
if yer coming.
This means you don't have to post on this thread JAK.
Couple of decent hotels in the area....

Those who are coming brace yerselves for a culture shock.
It'll be a culture shock for some! I lived in Corby for 26 years and it still shocks me when I go back for a visit. I hear the old Welfare got burned down. Was it an "accident"... :D
Hope ya have a good night! 
If I can get a lift there and back, then yes. Otherwise no, as much as I would like to be there.
Would like to make this my first, because i think it may actually be the last get together that might happen now the other things happened.
Alas, i'll be out the country that weekend. Im off for 2 weeks after that though, you dont wanna postpone a week do you?
Would like to and will be driving up the M1 that day anyway, so hopefully yes.
I take it its still a pay on the night affair?
My birthday so i'll be on my holidays, so i'd have to say no, although i would've loved to check Corby out, there are some interesting adverts on the tube station in London advertisng corby as 'the place to live from £185,000'

why?
its a scottish outpost. the jocko overflow went there, and now they are largely forgotten.
MONTY DOES CORBY!
Incidentally I'll be coming down M6/M6 TOLL,Kettering etc. If anyone wants a lift down and lift back in morning,PM me.
I shall be having top I-pod toons in car.

I'll be there. No idea how I'll get there, but I'll manage. I've arranged for three ex-SAS lads to accompany me, do you think that will be enough?
I'm thinking about hot-footing it back up to Aberdeen the following day as Hooky is DJing at Drummonds. Probly not though, will just hang around darn sarf.

Someone should start a thread where people can post to say that they're coming so that other people can see who's coming.
But what are the chances of that, eh?

Reg has bottled it. He's a no-show. His legs have gone and he's shat it.
He's heard Corby's 10x worse than downtown Baghdad so is doing the the-a-tre instead. The highfaluting hoity-toity ponce.
You know what my memory is like!
You coulda said he was an pilot and I'd've believed you......well, maybe not a pilot

Good stuff.
I think JG's scared to venture out of London these days.
I don't think Re-Order are playing at all.
I think this is Shug and Co trying to get us all there under false pretences. I think he will lay on special buses at Kettering station and we will get rail roaded - literally - into rebuilding Corby station.
But there will be Security on hand, so don't worry too much.
(But don't take anything worth nicking - rumour is, JAK will be there!)

don't forget to paint white arrows on the dirt tracks that lead up to your sub-ranch. just so people don't get lost as the track turns from road to sand. you should also hand out lanterns as dusk approaches.
I'll just crash on a grass verge somewhere , no worries
Actually come to think of it , i have a tent.Any campsites ?
Right, so defo's are - Al, Dave L, Mike G, Monty, Jemma, Colin, Snorri, Burt, Edd and Kath. Possible's - Chris, Tim, Johnny, Alan, Jay, Rocket Mick and Jeff!

'ckin LIGHTweight...
OK... just realised that i fucked up on the dates thinking it was the Saturday rather than the Friday. However, I'll still be there, just a bit later than anticipated.
Seems the problem of getting any fucking hotel in Northamptonshire on a Saturday night has now gone away, and there's loads available.
I'll be there sometime; just hope i dont miss 'Pig Champion', as i was my local pub's pig pulling champion, three years running.
I'm not going to be able to make this one I'm affraid as I can't get the time off work, totally skint at the moment and would have to drive meaning I'd be stone cold sober
I'll definately make the St Albans gig though and hope you all have a good time Cheers!
Some vague idea of somewhere to meet might be good - not sure what time I'll be arriving yet - all depends if Johnny still wants a lift or not... Now, I should probably look into getting some travel insurance for the trip... :D See yous Friday!

Me and John are picking Jarvo and that Leggy fella up from sheepshagland at 3.30.
I'd love to say I know a nice wee local, but it's a fookin dive, though not as bad as Rocket's local "The Blob Shop", on second thoughts
Looking forward to seeing you mad burgers again and gutted that a few of my favourite other Viking bampots cannae make it.....but dinnae fear Jem, I will make sure I have enough fags to keep you going
I'm a definite no, sorry Shug. I'm at least a week away from going anywhere unfortunately. Hopefully there will be some kind of Viking imbibing going on in London in the next month.
No worries amigo, I am already saving for a London Order get together, maybe I'll have enough in time fer Christmas

Better to go to the Spread Eagle,just around the corner.and a better atmos by far
I'm deffo going .Snorri very kindly is giving me a lift.Got to sort a hotel out yet but had a thought today that i may as well just pay for a taxi back to Rugby at the end of the night.Would cost maybe £40 but that's still cheaper than a hotel and i wouldn't have to negotiate buses and trains home with a hangover on Saturday.Think me and the Snorri will be there around 6pm

I just got a quote from a cab firm and you are talking nearer £80 after 23.00 Johnny.
We can always organize a bit of a whip round to help towards the fare though mate.
Alternatively, and i don't wish to be cheeky here, but maybe Monty and Jemma could drop you on their way back home oop north on the Saturday as Shug says there's a couch going at his.
Thanks John, um , just tried some cheap B&B'S .£15 but she had no rooms , one in Stephensons Way , not too far from Viking way.Fcuk it i'll just see what happens tomorrow night - if there's a roof to sleep under available or whatever cheers!! I'll hopefully be pissed out me head and will crasj anywhere - under a tree , a bush or a kitchen floor.Cheers!
@Shug: Don't forget to remind Monty to unplug the TV! Could it be possible to see this next week on YouTube?

Just so you all know what yer getting into
Corby A depressing series of roundabouts links an A road. Surrounding the road is a dismal mid 1970s shopping centre from the fuck you school of architecture. The only saving race of this windowless concrete block is that that is melts into the slate grey skies that Corby always seems to have and almost disappears. Along the A road is a sprawl of Eastern European looking housing estates.
Corby still makes steel but not as much as it used to. A few years back British Steel conned a lot Scots from Ravenscraig to come down and make steel as their own works were to be closed. This was another false dawn and with their resulting redundancy money many set up taxicab firms presumably specialising on finding ways out of Corby. Thus you see no buses. And you are constantly being cut up by other drivers.

As an Ex-Corby resident (26 fookin years- born and raised) I concur.
But Steel making- No. Tubeworks might barely still be alive but there's been no steel made in Corby since 1979.
A brilliant night. Well done to Shug and John for organising it.
The band were superb overcoming all the etchnical problems, including a blown bass amp, to produce the goods again.
Good to catch up with all the regulars again - you will no doubt get all the war stories from the frontline as soon as they have sobered up.
Interesting venue. I half expected to see Peter Kay appear in a wheelchair at any moment. Still, at least the car was still there when I got back to it - with the correct number of wheels!
Superb gig , Cheers Shug, John.and Re:Order 
Can't remember what they played right now but it'll come back to me eventually.Cheers for the offer of the duvet to crash , Shug but i couldn't sleep so i wandered into town and caughta bus to Kettering then the train home.Thanks for all the hospitality and countless cigs!! Great turn out from Noolers and the friendly Corby locals .Fantastic gig Re:Order
Hang on , i recall AOC , Sunrise , TPK , BLT, True Faith , Hurt ... oh and right all storm with everyone all joined up for Temptation at the end.Too many great songs to mention
Absolute qualidee night, as ever.
Just a shame I can't remember any of it past 'Crystal'.
Cheers to Shug and John for arranging it.
Nice to be back home for a bit of kip now!!!

Thanks for John and Shug for a brilliant night out.Thanks to RE-ORDER again for another blinding set. It was great seeing all the NOOLERS again,we should do this again soon! Talking Jemmie about it on the way down,we should organise a NORTH gig.
I think I did a Peter Kay and skided across the dancefloor on my knees,ripping a hole in my jeans and taking the skin off my knee.
Thanks to Shug for inviting us all back to his gaff for drinks and hot pot (love).
And a big to Jemmie for brill day and night.Four hours in traffic doing a New Order karaoke.
Can't believe I roped myself into working this afternoon for four hours....with the Eartha's.:(
Top night! Got back to Gloucestershire about half three, 6 hours driving in total and 7 hours sober in an otherwise very merry environment, but worth it and then some... Great set from Re: Order, in spite of amp trouble! Never thought I'd say this, but Sub-Culture was probably a highlight for me! Cheers to Shug and John for organising the whole thing and to all the Corby Order for being so hospitable and friendly...

Exceeded all expectations in my eyes, hats off to all The Vikings that made the considerable effort to attend, you were great company as ever.
A big thank you to Re:Order for agreeing to come and play here, what an absolutely fantastic set list and performance.
Another cracking set from Pig Champion aswell.
Top night indeed!
Hats off to the Corby Order
It felt like 1986 again, for about five minutes during Subculture. All a bit hazy after that.
Still amazed i didnt hit anything driving home this afternoon.
Yep, great night, great people. Band were'nt bad either.
I didn't feel too bad until now, then Burt reminded me what time we got back to the hotel. Oops, Sorry Shug x
What a night, i think i can we enjoyed ourselves. Great crowd,great venue. John,Shugs it was a pleasure.. before i forget, what's with all the fecking roundabouts in corby!?
Still can't believe me brand new Ashdown bass amp broke down on me,it's first gig as well, the dirty bastard!!

Couldnae have wished for a better night, I will do some kinda story when I recover (probably the end of next week) so many wonderful (but hazy) memories!
Both bands were unbelieveable. Cannae thank you all enough.

Very very good - really enjoyed myself (as anyone watching me might have guessed.
Run was good as well.

I remember trying to start a fight with someone (anyone) about whether it's 'town like nothing' or 'tan like nothing' but no one was in the least bit interested.
In fact, nobody seemed interested in most of the bollox I was coming out with all night.

Was Digi there? He could have been, let's face it, we were all a wee bit drunk
That set-list couldnae have been better........wait a minute, did they not sneak WIFM in at the end 
Johnny - was it you who videoed the acoustic LWTUA interlude? Or was it the encore with Pig Champion on backing vocals? Not sure RE: Order would like that one to see the light of day though... Cracking set-list, no complaints there... Still waiting for Shug's full review of the night, or has that been put back till he can remember anything leaving the Hazel Tree beforehand?

I will do a blog once everyone tells me what happened
I was hoping Al was gonna do one after reading his story of the Barcelona trip.....but he couldnae even remember the set-list, which must be a first
Hee hee - that reminds me that I tried to break Liam's record by stealing the setlist before the gig even began.
But Will made me put it back again

I do remember the look of incredulity on his face when someone mentioned that they'd played As It Is... I suppose as the only sober person in the place/Corby*, I should probably be able to supply a bit of info on what went on...

Edit: * Just remember Lunatic Fridge was also on the J2Os, so he might be able to remember something as well...

He can't even remember falling over in the beer garden 
Actually, I think he said he can't even remember being in the beer garden
I think it needs to be noted that this was the most debauched Re**:**Order gig yet.
Well done to everyone involved in making that happen
Personally I'd like to apologise to the band for invading the stage with my camera and annoying them throughout the whole set. Photo's coming soon.

A tie between this and Monty on the slide for the non-Re: Order related moment of the night, I think... It wasn't just a little stumble - he proper stacked it... :\oops:

It's gonna be the opposite of the Sex Pistols at the Free Trade Hall.
I will certianly be denying that I was anywhere near the place!

Vague recollections of Lunatic falling over in the garden

Easy LF!!!

And it was Al who fell over in the garden, not LF - mind you by that stage I reckon everyone looked the same to you...

I've got a feeling(see what i did there) the crimbo gig is going to steal the 'most debauched' crown.
No apologies needed Dave, unless of course the photos you took of me are shite...

'Hooky's eye view'
Who's the girl in that last one?
She thought I was your roadie and was asking me to turn up Will's vocals

But none of your arse which I remember you were worried I was taking
You got any normal pics Dave? Preferrably with me minus the red eyes! Snorri, yer gonna have to mail me your recollections.....as is the Lunatic fella if he's looking in.
Did I mention just how good that setlist was? Cheers lads, hopefully we can do it again next year
Entertainment is normally a bit lacking in Northamptonshire
Thankfully, there's The Viking Club
Thanks Dave, for getting the worst possible pic of me! I love you too! x
However, thanks (lol) for getting Myfanwy on film - that will really piss her husband off now! ...........
So, then I invade the back of the stage and the Bass amp blows up!
I didn't touch anything, I promise
That's yer lot, folks

It's not that i was worried, it's just that there are a lot of jealous people out there. Imagine old saggy arse Jim rielly Jim rielly coping a look at my pert,toned buns... He'd be green with envy:D

It looks as though everyone enjoyed themselves, except Ian as per usual. Bloody miserable.
Its one thing having pert buns of course, but what are pert buns without balls, eh? :p
How is that new bass amp of yours by the way........?

Using Jim Reilly's amp, I take it?
Top photies Dave.It's a credit to a photographer that he can make me look sober.Did you have to airbrush the beer stains?
Another hair grip! Will was covered in them. I saw at least two, and now this one.
What's going on?
I blame Hicks, but then I ALWAYS blame her.
BTW...is it just Leggy's camera, or has lost her orange glow?
On other subjects.....
Did you get the bass amp fixed? Hope it wasn't something like a speaker fuse you could have fixed on the night. Ahhhh the good old Failure Curve....never gig anything less than 6 months old ;)
PS: only just remembered, I never did get to try a riff or two on your Marathon at NOOLday :(
PPS:Where will the Chrimbo gig be and will you be playing before then? I'm pretty much out of commission til mid Oct cos of meds, after that I will have a pretty serious lust for some drunken debauchery (assuming I'm wrong in my assumption that I have permenantly broken my drinking bone).

I would never lower myself and use Jim's Laney amp... Lucky i've plenty to choose from.

I've had to write this twice now.... my little girl just turned the laptop off!!!
It's going back this morning Steve, it's still under warranty so i've not touched or modded it yet...
You'd be luky if you did have a go on it,that marathon is 17 years old and i've only let two other people have a go on it in all that time... but i could be bribed..

I think I avoid owning a bass amp for a good reason
What a Judas!
Been offered a Mesa 50 though. Thankfully it's been round the block a bit so it's unlikely to do what yours did.
To be honest I'd have settled for 2 bars of We All Stand ;)
Cheers for dates, I suspect I may be darkening your door at one of those. Need a bass tech?

Anyone wishing to test the pertness of Jim's buns - or, indeed, his balls - can find him near Boro' Market ce soir where the Laahndan Orduh will be in session once again.
Venue: The George, Boro' High St, 6pm 'til late!

Leggy's pics have helped flesh things out a bit - shame the batteries died on his camera and we don't have the same photographic evidence of sitting in the beer garden post-gig... Or not... I've jotted a few things down - hopefully get a chance to add a bit more today or tomorrow and I'll email it to you...
And it was an AWESOME setlist... Whoever chose it must have impeccable taste...

I know what you mean, but of all the amps i've owned only 2 have let me down, so i've been lucky. I'd defo go for the Mesa 50 good amp, like you say it's been around the block so in theory anything that could go wrong with it has gone wrong and been fixed. Sorted.
I can just see the boys ripping the piss out of me sqirming like an over protective dad whilst you have a go on the Marathon...
Memories are starting to return of the night.Near the end of the set Will " This is the last song and it's dedicated to Shug........ It's called World In Motion...."
Cue gasps of horror and dropped pint pots from the Corby Order as those words hung in the air for what seemed like an eternity and quite possibly echoed across the Northamptonshire countryide and all the way up to Glasgow and back...... before the bouncy melodic sequencer line we all know and love kicked in for the start of Temptation and all was well again in the Viking club wheh hey!!

Sorry Shug. If I'd known I was going to be tested on it I would've paid more attention.
I did catch Jarvo taking a sneaky peek at the setlist towards the end. Mind you, he was as surprised as everybody about 5 minutes later when Sunrise started!
