Cliff, I'm not winding you up! I have her measurements if you don't believe me! and her name's Aude. She did actually come back over from Paris for the gig - she cut her Christmas holiday short over there. Ernie, email me and I'll copy the Ulster Hall gig for you.

Gutted to find i'm out of the top 6 in the posting tally for the first time ever & heading for mid-table oblivion. Ah well, see yous soon.

by the way, belatedly: Cider Army 3, Gas 0! YOOOOO REDS! (Just trying to reach 300)

This should do it.

Yep, that cracked it. Best regards to all my chums I haven't spoken to for ages, sorry I couldn't join you in Ireland (I hear Dublin was ace again), maybe try & get to the Hackney gig in March if it's on. Cheers.

CR - having peaked at number 6, I've now dropped out of the top 10 posting tally to number 11. I doubt I'll regain my former position now as the ladies love to chat and have both overtaken me.

Closing in on the 350 posting mark myself but notice the relative newcomers Jackie and Vinny roaring up behind. Great pics by the way from the gigs. A good time was had by 1 and all by the looks of it.

Wouldn't it be nice if posting 11594 from Moondog - see you in Hackney - were from Gerry or someone else close to the band dropping hints that indeed the 2 bands were due to play whenever the gig takes place. Anyone know who Moondog was ?

How do you check your TALLY??

There may sadly be no gig tonight but here’s a (very) rare posting from me to make up for it! I was just watching an advert for Nescafe (terrible company, decent coffee) on the TV. I can’t really remember what happens in the ad, except that it ends up with a Ford Cortina with an Afro (or something like that) hairstyle. Anyway, the ad features a bit of (dance/rap I think) music which is from a song that was released several years ago and (I’m finally getting to the point here) the first two seconds of the song sound like they are a sample of the two drum beats at the beginning of Teenage Kicks! Does anyone know if this really is a sample or is it just a coincidence? If it is a sample, would the song count as an Undertones song?? It’s just a thought...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the greatest guitar hero who ever lived (!)

Vinny- don't bother checking your tally mate- you're behind me!Rick- you're such a charmer!

Thanks Jackie - I do try. By the way you forgot to add the description 'and one of the sexiest' to your birthday wishes for the greatest guitar hero who ever lived.

can anyone tell me who the band is that have brough out love will tear us apart ernie will have that moondogs cd next week ok

Does anyone know a bloke who was a roadie/close friend of The Moondogs from 1980 who was quite tall, wore glasses and always danced in Madness style at their gigs - I THINK he was called Chick (may be wrong) but he also featured in the Disco Roadshow UTV clip when they played Two Timed.

wilke, a million thanks mate!

Yes Rick, and if anyone needs proof check this link!!

Teenage Kicks - The Undertones will be shown on the Rotterdam filmfestival(yes, the worldfamous rotterdam filmfestival) on the following dates: DO 24/1 12.15 uur VR 25/1 19.45 uur WO 30/1 20.00 uur

Vinny a 'relative newcomer'?? he's like a piece of the furniture.Vinny, go to HOME, THENETTING HUMDINGERS CLUB, then POSTING TALLY.
