    Just found this.

    It was a great gig. Mosh pit on the go, if you were standing by you were dragged in anyway. Charlie Harper chatting away in the bar after the gig. He was 61 then and seemed little different from when I saw the band as a student in the early 80s.  Brilliant stuff.

    Nice one Earle. Apart from this one, I think I missed out on the Trafalgar.

    I remember that being on, the fella who managed Twisted Angels brought them over. Didnt have a very good turn out as he was on the Manxbands website berating all and sundry for not showing up. Came across as a bit of a cock to be honest.

    As far as the Manx music scene goes there is one man whose enthusiasm and hard work for many Manx bands over the years stands out. His hand-built PA systems were like him, legendary. Hence his nickname, The Legend.

    Sorely missed.

    Mr Phil Maddrell. (RIP)

    A lovely lovely human being as well as a great soundman. 

    A sad loss. RIP fella.

    Poor you. There is a perfectly serviceable Travelodge in Morecambe which I doubt is ever full and one in Lancaster if it is (plus Premier Inn and Holiday Inn). 15 quid in a taxi at worst.

     

    As for airports, have you ever been stuck at Gatwick overnight? Last time Easyjet cancelled the last flight back, the nearest hotel they could find us was in Brighton. I'd rather be in Heysham than Gatwick. And being stuck air side is worse. Nothing open and no fresh air.

     

     

    Yeah its in fucking Morecambe though. Abandon hope all ye who enter there. Its like the village of the damned.

  4. I wondered why the punks and skins and Rastas were gathering around and holding their hands in sorrow.

     

    And all the grown ups are saying "but why are the kids crying?" And the kids will say "We are the kids, do you know nothing? Rik is dead. The peoples poet is dead."

  5. Watched two tonight :-

     

    Death Race - Below par even for the mindless fun I assumed it would be. Its been a while since i saw the original, but I'm sure it was better. Avoid.

     

    In Bruges - Fantastic, loved the dialogue between Farrell and Gleeson. The only weak point was Ralph Fiennes who seemed to be doing a bad impression of Ben Kingsley in "Sexy Beast" throughout. Aside from that, a good watch, recommended.

  6. LSD tests on British troops

     

    One hour and ten minutes after taking the drug, with one man climbing a tree to feed the birds, the troop commander gave up, admitting that he could no longer control himself or his men. He himself then relapsed into laughter

     

    Cant get into the site from here, but Ive seen this one before. Excellent stuff.

     

    The other good one to search for in a similar vein is the journalist Christopher Mayhew, who took mescaline and had the experience filmed for a proposed documentary. Suprisingly enough it was deemed unsuitable for broadcast at the time (1955). Interesting watching.

     

    Wish I could post a link, but I'm unfortunately shackled by Websense. Cheers.

     

    Edited to add : This thread could run and run, so would it be worth pinning? Thanks mods.

  8. Its a real crap picture, hopefully anybody that is honest and has seen me will say, it dont look anything like me at all.
