Finsbury, fractures and apologies....

Hi guys,

Only just got access to a PC: thought the gig was fucking great, despite breaking my sodding wrist (sheepish looking photo comin' atcha soon enough), the pissing rain, and, er, barely remembering any of it. Ah, the Stella Odyssesy continues...... (anyone with a tape of the gig PLEASE email me so I can refresh my memory)

Nice to meet the crowd in the pub beforehand, albeit briefly. Apologies to the poor guy who came all the way from South America: licking your face was a sign of affection and muchos respect: hope it didn't ruin your day!! (what is it about Order fans and face licking???). Apologies to anyone I offered to fight (most of London at one point: "C'mon you cockney fuckers I'LL FUCKING HAVE YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"), the poor people I insisted on hugging, the teenage girls in the supermarket who got asked, in no uncertain terms, "Where's the fucking gig!!!????!!!", and then got bear hugs when they told me; the nice people who bandaged me up and told me not to drink anymore (and then got bear hugs and an offer of a beer: can you see the pattern here???) sorry again for discarding my sling because it impeded my dancing, sorry to my wrist for fucking it up so bad (Arse. Over. Tit. It was the mud, honest!), and basically sorry to anyone I molested. I. Was. Just. Having. Fun.

No apologies to the miserable couple who didn't like my frenzied dancing: grumpy pair of cunts. Don't remember Air, the Furries I watched only allegedly, the Bunnymen were cool, "Good Vibrations" as fantastic as ever, (where was "The Vikings"?), sorry again to the man Tarantino who was incredibly friendly in the pub but I was distracted, and thanks to the distraction who basically saved me from becoming Finsbury Man. And dying.

I'll remember more soon and apologise, I promise. A great day. Can everyone please stop falling out on here? It's getting tedious....

M.

You mean the "miserable couple" where the guy was carrying his missus on his shoulders all the time?? And the guy got very upset?? I was right next to them and was wondering what the hell was going on.Now i know , or not...:D.

Dunno mate, that sounds like some other miserable couple. The one's near me obviously didn't like their "personal space" being invaded (good idea going to a gig then, guys!), so boyfriend kept pushing me and girl just scowled. I apologised, they were having none of it, even when strangers were defending my right to have a good time. Oh well, some people are just miserable bastards, I guess....

Still fractured, but not on the floor of KFC. Keep on rockin', Mick.

Cheers MARTIN you know it makes sense to eat a LARGE meal before partying or falling. ROCKET BURGER KING FOR ME NEXT TIME MICK

Yeah, in a bit of a "cycle" and hadn't eaten for three days before Finsbury, or indeed on the day. Sometimes in life we take a tumble.......

Are you at Old Trafford, Mick? We could prop each other up.....

we gotta have rules that forbid miserable couples to attend New Order gigs!!! And the same for claustrofobics...i guess;)

Yes i have still to get my ticket but i WILL be there just to keep you lot on your toes! ROCKET MICK

Update i have just purchased ticket from PICCADILLY BOX OFFICE 0161 8321111 £36=45p...a bloody bargain. ROCKET ON HIS WAY MICK

Hmmmmmmm. Not claustrophobic, just bloody stroppy. You're right: moody couples should be ejected on sight. There is no place for them in the civilised world. Or at least no place for them amongst pissed fun-loving people at New Order gigs. I'm writing to my MP as we speak. Or Vince Power, at least.

M.

hahaha nice one. While we're at it: umbrellas!! ban em!! They took away my vieuw on Air!! If only they could have blocked out their soundscapes:D

All I remember about Air is that it rained, and I probably wished I had an umbrella. Who wants to look at two pretentious French blokes, anyhows????

By the way, I'm trying to upload a picture for my personal file of me a Finsbury with busted wrist. I'm suh a technophobe - how the fuck do you do it???????

i haven't got a clue:D Just being able to post messages is already a GIANT LEAP ahead for me. I wish i knew, cause i got some kinky pics that would just fit in;) about Air: i never heard such boring music in my life! Maybe if it would have been 30 degress celcius and one could park off on the grass and smoke some, then it would possibly be alright.

Cheers Shug - did I meet you in World's End??? I can't fucking remember.........

Remember me you great JESSIE :p ROCKET MICK--ALADDIN SANE

Hoorah!! Finally mastered this JPEG bullshit. Nearly put my fucking fist through the monitor in rage, though.....

So, there I am amidst the mud, looking like a relic from fucking Spike Island, with a dumb-ass semi-grin on me hairy face. If I look like a cunt, its 'cos I was CUNTED.

Needless to say, I don't remember this photo being taken. or indeed, much else about the day.

FUCK ME WHERE YOU IN THE BROKEN STONE ROSES. MANI MANIA

:p MARTIN IS REVEALED......hows GAIL?

HOW DID YOU MANAGE TO SEE ANYTHING WITH THAT HAT ON???

Yeah, THAT hat. Only bought it cos, a) it was raining and, b) I was pissed out of me bonce. Glad to know I met you Shug: I got introduced to about 20 people in as many seconds it it's hard to remember. Yes, I will be at Old Trafford and once we've got a pre-gig venue sorted I'll try to make sure I'm not completely twatted when we meet again. Though don't quote me on that.

How did I see anything with the hat on?? Well, seeing as I didn't feel any pain from me bust wrist until several hours after falling over, I guess I was blind drunk anyway......

M.

Rockin' Rocket - "How's Gail"????? Mate, that's an arcane reference that's gone straight over me Reni-hat wearing head.

Enlighten me, please.

Foxed Fradley.

TOP BANANA MARTIN....see you in MANCHESTER! ROCKET ALWAYS ON HIS BEST BEHAVIOUR MICK :)

CORRIE....you must av seen the WETHERFIELD WITCH and the stupid geek NURSE (MALE) MARTIN.. ROCKET SOAP MICK
