Alex - you're right, it is too funny not to share. Stote, the only picture I have from the Derry gig is of you with Wilke and Alex - unfortunately the batteries went flat and the pictures of you with the band didn't come out.

Showing the film before the King Tuts gig is a great idea, would increase publicity for the gig as well. King Tuts is a small venue so the demand should be high anyway. really enjoyed the Glasgow Apollo site Alex. My 1st gig was at the Apollo - Mud around 1974. AC DC and Status Quo both recorded live material there so it says a lot about how high bands rated it as well as fans.

Are we allowed to talk football yet?? If not, anybody know how to get deodorant stains off a black crepe blouse? (Now that really IS girly talk!)

You've got my number.... french PS...

well, was quite busy for some weeks so now catching up on positngs; great to see a scottish gig being announce, now let's wait for a dutch gig, talking about scotland and Holland(and now even I am going to talk footie!) , we really have a pre-match build up here, our paper even reported today that the scottish have lack of sex because they have to work too hard: can you comment on this one Donald, Alex and Lewis?

BTW that's no good for our footballers as they might lose their concentration because of all these hungry scottish women...

I even learned today that there is a 3rd stadium in Glasgow where besides Queens park the sottisch national play; we did not know that

Dick Advocaat just told on TV here that Holland stands a good chance because the scottish cant defend and leave space; well personally I think that a scottish team who are eager might win from our team as the dutch are not in good shape

Next week I go and see the Thermals, great U.S. band and ofcourse a Riplets gig too

Happy birthday Jackie, very belated I'm so sorry, I just catched up, but still under 40 you wont mind, I presume. Age still doesnt count under 40

Appreciate the time and effort CMoS, Liam and Vinny put into their websites. I seem to spend more time keeping my website up to date than I do running. Quite like the look of french YGMN. Pity I haven't got enough funny money to pay for the record AND the postage. Any idea why the Grosvenor is not recommended as a hotel in Sheffield. It is literally opposite the Casbah.

vinny - poster arrived today. Now need to find a 'small' place next to my signed first lp cover - thanks

Hampden Park is the national stadium Julius, and is also the home ground of Queens Park. Are you asking me if I ever had sex with Donald or Lewis? Well that was a very special evening and I don't kiss and tell.

I think Advocaat is an obnoxious little man. It's partly his fault Rangers are in their current predicament. Ah well every cloud etc.

George- I e'd Casbah Mark re Grosvenor and he was adamant but no reason. Recommended The Bristol or Holiday Inn but too pricey (at the moment). The Cutlers looks pretty good.

Ibis in Sheffield is £43 a night. About 10 minute walk from the Casbah. link below. Don't know if Mark approves of it.
