Would you like me yo explain? Christ, I thought you'd never ask.
The shouting bit. The Smurphs were pretending they weren't gonna to do an encore. Some sad old drunk who has never been made to feel so welcome before shouted
Do we have to shout?
At which point they got the point and came back on.

No clarification required, I imagine.

Joan is now qualified to drive a taxi in Leeds. The Warehouse? The Phono? Your choice. Pick up from 7 Village Place? No problem. We won’t be needing one home cos we’ll have spent all our money on weak lager. The Lights will lead us back.
Joan is an in joke between me and John. In the odd PM, he spelt my name the girly way. Not that it's been the bane of my life or anything.
Re the taxis, John probably knows Leeds city centre better now than some of the taxi drivers we used over the weekend. I really did walk him all round it. I even managed to find the Warehouse which I could rarely do 20 years ago cos its down a back alley.

I hope they’re not going to pump this much smoke out all night. Fortunately not.
I've never seen the Smurphs with smoke before. You couldn't actually see them at the start. It was only temporary though and along with the music (Burn?) was very apt.

They finally played Body Electric and I finally got to make a fool of myself in public to Lucretia.

Mrs T: Who’s the guy in the frilly shirt?
Moi: You mean Richey?
Yes. You had to be there. I don't think it was Richey. Good job I didn't think that at the time. Or I really would be having to apologise to a complete stranger.

Voices off: This one’s for the fashion victims.
Mrs T: You like this one don’t you?
Moi: I don’t know. I haven’t figured out what it is yet. Oh no. It’s the wrong version. They should be slamdancing. They’re waving their arms in the air and smiling for chrissakes.
Eithet Paddy or The Mockeldritch were "the voices off" announcing Temple Of Love. Mrs T recognised it immediately. Asked if I wanted her to hold my coat while I danced. The 92 version always confuses me and ever since the "is it Phantom or Floorshow?" episode, I'm always a bit slow to start dancing to a Sisters song. By the time I'd figured it out the far more attractive and agile members of the Goth night we had gatecrashed flattened me in the rush and I decided watching would be much more fun than dancing.

Original Miserable Bastard: Bugger off. That’s practically an armful.
After the Smurphs the Goth night returned and played some world class music, of which the 3 named above got me back on the dancefloor doing my GRANDAD dance. I think I asked Lars to dance! He wisely declined. He used to have what's his name as his avatar.

Mrs T: You know I don’t like The Sisters Of Mercy.
Moi: Why do you insist on coming then?
Mrs T: Cos they’re all such lovely people.
She doesn't like the Sisters of Mercy but she thinks that everyone she's met at the Smurphs gigs is really nice. Yes. She's a townie and thinks Goths are all a bit wierdy wierdy. I have to keep it in most of the time. That's why I'm always on here when she's not looking. I think she's beginning to realise that it's all about tolerance, like putting up with an alcoholic husband.

Moi: Aye. You don’t feel threatened when you go to the toilets ,do you.
I judge a pub/ club by whether or not I feel wary of going to the gents in case I come across alcohol fuelled violence. I always felt very comfortable going for a p!ss in the Phono. As I did last night at the Bassment.

I've already explained that one. But I know you would have got it anyway. I just don't know how many other people on here know their Bowie as well as ANYONE who calls themselves a fan of popular music should do.
I really had a tremendous time. I have been high as a kite on alcohol, nicotine, worry and expectancy since Friday. I get really depressed, guilt ridden after effects when I slowly sober up and think "Why do I keep doing this?"
This explaining mallarky wears you out. Thankyou and goodnight.
@Mr Fiend: What was that song I thought was Siouxsie but you told me was the Chameleons?
Go to sleep now, Francis.
