Hey sme,You didn't watch Vic & Bobs Catterick last night? Quality TV so very funny i fell off my chair (nearly).
Wot no Sex Pistols?
Your taste in albums says a lot about you and this says that you have listened to too much music and not been out often enough!
Shame on you for depriving you lungs of fresh air,you feet have not been pounding the countryside like they should,instead you have turned pale and malnurished(?) like a geeky Star Wars fan still trying to get over the fact that Darth Vader is Luke's dad.May the Force stay outta my goddamn way!!!

Didn't see Vic & Bob last night - too busy watching Corrie on the video.

No Pistols cos in 1977, long term, for me, Bowie's "Low" is a better album.

"Bollocks" would be in my top 5 for the year though.

Think i have about nine of these albums. Who are "Spock' Beard"? And "UK", unusual names for bands.

Love & War sounds like "i ain't ever satisfied" by Steve Earl.
What you and Anne doin' next Tuesday night? I have the studio again but not the same part as last time ( the other side,which has a White paper background) we could have some fun again no?
