I'm there on Friday and Saturday if you fancied a pint.

Um...nooooooo. Where are they playing?
I worry about going to something like that - my sister was working the liquor tent at a Tears for Fears gig recently, said it was really really sad to see all these faded 80s fans in their grey ponytails and teva sandals - it would be too painful to watch some fat 50-year old merchant banker lipsynch through She Sells Sanctuary. Not that you're fat or 50

Sounds good - I'll be near Baker Street, so no distance.

In order to qualify as sad,
all of the following criteria must be fulfilled:
1. Age: 50 years
2. Girth: 40" plus
3. Profession: Merchant banker
4. Hair: grey, worn in pony tail
5. Behaviour: Lipsynching "She Sells Sanctuary"
Unless you fulfill all of these criteria, then you're not sad, so no offence should be taken

Ok, have it your way - you're a fat sad old bastard in black "relaxed fit" jeans from Burton that aren't quite relaxed enough for your gut not to spill out over the top of them. They are new enough for the rivets still to be shiny, and you've got Dr. Scholl orthopaedic inserts in your Dunlop Green Flash trainers. You're also wearing a faded grey t-shirt that bears the faintly visible logo of Jack Daniel's that you've had for the past 30 years and your missus was about to cut up for dustrags, you're bald on top with grey hair pulled into a pony tail so you look like the world's oldest hippy. At least you would except you quit smoking 10 years ago because you were worried that it would make you impotent (not that you and the wife have even thought about sex much since the kids were born), and you fantasise that one day Jennifer Rush is going to come and sit on your lap while she's wearing no panties. This fantasy has caused you to have to leave business meetings and go and seek a schoolboy's relief in the mens. The idea of getting pie-eyed on warm beer out of a plastic cup at the gig doesn't do much for you, given that you've got a 7.30am conference call with the Tokyo office and need your 8 hours of sleep. In fact, the last time you had a serious drink (an office party 3 months ago) you woke up in Rickmansworth tube depot after a small glass of Lambrusco with a homeless guy licking the backs of your knees, and you've only got a 2-Zone travel card. You think you remember The Cult, but you frequently confuse them with Fields of the Nephilim. For you, the m*****n was a film with Jeremy Irons in it. Last time someone asked you about The Sisters of Mercy you replied, "I don't have a problem with catholic charities," and you believe that Sex Gang Children was a sting operation launched by the Met against kiddie-diddlers. You think that Siouxsie and the Banshees was the indian tribe that killed Custer, and Red Lorry Yellow Lorry is the name of one of your kid's picture books that has pictures of trucks in it and is printed with chew-safe ink on cardboard pages.
Are you offended now?

Ceased to exist.
Today.

That bloke Evil bastard describes, and his mates regularly attend a "Classic rock"(exactly who's book could describe Bon Jovi and skid row as classic remains a mystery to me)in Walsall that I accidently went to a couple of weeks ago.
I also noticed they all were wearing short sleeved shirts that appeared to be made of the same material that my granny's tablecloths were.
Most of these Gents did a strange kind of dance that looked like they were being bummed by that ghost out of "The Entity".
