Smurphs support Half Man Half Biscuit! Sept 21st!

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Perhaps Paddy can ask Nigel to do vocals on FALAA :innocent: :lol: and sort it with HMHB to finish on a Joy Division track which the Smurphs could join in.... (if you don't ask you don't get!!)

Definitely going to attend 8)

Edit: Can I be really cheeky and request (pretty please with a cherry on top and all that ;)) Some Kind of Stranger on behalf of my little brother? He needs convincing that The Smurphs and not HMHB are in fact the main attraction and that's the most straight forward way I can think of :lol:

I couldn't imagine a better line-up!!!
I grew up listening to Trumpton Riots & All I Want For Xmas Is A Dukla Prague Away Kit by the Biscuits.

I'll be there.

You might also be interested to learn that we have a gig this Saturday at the 1-in-12 club.

I'm a touch surprised that Paddy's not mentioned this as well!
Very little of what you believe to be true is actually the case.

Sorry.

Oh, and needless to say I am gutted that I'm not going to be there for this one.

Bloody midweek gigs... :cry:

Yup.

Rumour has it they've improved their PA and actually got a sound guy this time.

We can only hope! Last time I ended up practically deaf from feedback. Worse than the Mixing Tin even!

Mark my words Sidney, you've got to nip this rank incompetence and general slovenliness in the bud.

There is a time for considered dialogue and a time for spite induced violence, on this occation it’s the later.

Wait till you're onstage on Saturday then, during the guitar break in Anaconda, kick him squarely in the nuts.

You've ruined the surprise now!

I'll have to plan something more devious :evil:

I'm sure it'd hurt Paddy *much* more if I did something to his amp instead ;)

Try turning it down from 11 to 10. :innocent:

But it wouldn't sell as many tickets!

People will queue round the block if they think they're going to see the Red One going two down after a double conversion straight between the posts.

An idea for the future would be to hunt down the surving family members of the snakes used to make Paddy's amp, and smuggle them into your next gig in a crate set to release them when the solo count goes above 10?

I was thinking of something highly ingenious e.g. suspend amp from ceiling. Tie other end of cable to Paddy's family jewels. Rig cable to remove knackers if Paddy dives to save amp. Endanger amp somehow.

Then it would be a straight choice between castration and a dead amp. Somehow I think I can guess what his choice would be ;)

I agree that the widdling should come into the equation somewhere though! Perhaps some factor that weights the extremity of the solos in with their number as well...
