Given that the week started with the news that Humphrey the Downing Street Cat had snuffed it (can we have a moment of silence, please?), I'm going to have to go with the former. Of course, it could be a clever ruse to deflect attention from the way the regime change is going...but I don't want to get all in hereZuma wrote:It does make me wonder what has kick started the media at this pont though?
Maybe just a slow news week, or the same person has sold them all the same article

Unfortunately, for me, that statement is terrifyingly true. I'm honest enough to say that Wayne and his Blue Nun made quite an impact on me, and created a habit that was only broken when Salvation released "Thunderbird" and got me on the evil Red Label stuff.... impressionable, moi???eastmidswhizzkid wrote: "Speed is a goth drug because the ideal is to be skinny," says Unsworth.

Look, stop it. The only reason I had Carl Mccoy ski-goggles... or Hussey-esque riding boots... or a cowboy hat, were for practical, not fashion purposes.Badlander wrote:Weren't you a bit of an imitator ?Muppet wrote: Unfortunately, for me, that statement is terrifyingly true.

And going back to the Thunderbird business, can anyone confirm something... might just be an urban myth, how many types were there? I know of the Blue Label (pish), and the legendary Red Label - (now there was a MANS drink!! ) - but was there ever a Black Lable one??? And if so, did anyone ever survive drinking it????

Sounds like meself !
I too have a Stetson cowboy hat, which I bought years after I stopped considering meself a goth. And I also have another, non cowboy, regular city hat.

Never heard of T'Bird black label, alas, although a large portion of my life seems to have been spent ordering Donnington Brainstorms in disreputable bars up and down the country. A mixture of T'bird and vodka, since you ask - about half and half. Best results achieved when you use Morrison's own brand vodka (you don't want to throw up anything too expensive!).
Whatever happened to MadDog 20/20? Not sure what the 20/20 stood for, but it sure as f*ck wasn't your eyesight after a couple of bottles. I liked the pink grapefruit variety myself...

Wasn't 20/20 a reference to the allegation that if you drank it, you stood a 20% chance of getting laid, and a 20% chance of getting in a fight?
