Heartland

Okay, I know there's likely to have been plenty of them, but which is the weirdest of all?

Does masturbation count as "weird" and "twisted", or is it something everybody on this forum does?
What about suicidal attempts? Painting that just can't go right without those sounds? Lonely walks at night in the middle of nowhere? Are these things weird? I don't think so.

I once walked home with Floodland playing on my MP3 player.

and I once did a 15 metre cliff jump with Kiss the Carpet going through my mind.

I taught my kids, 12+8, to sing and dance along with the chorus to This Corrosion. Oh the shame.

And installed a new light-fitting in the bathroom with the chorus of Body Electric racing through my head.

f..k in my car with f..k and marry my young on the radio

Watch Man Utd on telly. Urrghh.

No, they're pretty f***ing GAWF though!

Stood on the top deck of the Hull to Zeebrugge ferry with my friend with This Corrosion on the walkman, singing at the top of our voices. I was only 15, you'll forgive me.

Sat at 3 in the morning on my bed beside an open window, holding an incense stick (didn't want to set the smoke alarm off). Guess it kind of defeats the purpose if all the smoke goes out the window, but I'm really dense. That was only a few weeks ago...

I remember was eatting some scones the first time I listened to Floodland.

It's been down hill from then on

got totally mindless on lager and queued for my flight to Corfu with The Wake version of Knocking On Heaven's Door blasting out from a rather large Panasonic Brixton Briefcase much to my then g/f's chagrin and embarrassement, especially when I went into a trance at the guitar solo.
I was younger then

Dance like crazy to SSV.

Once plied a pair of headphones to the gigantic belly of a pregnant young woman and played the unborn child some Floodland.

The kid is fine, mind you.

Had a "life imitates art" moment at Guildford railway station with Nine while Nine on my Walkman. Train was late, slush was melting all over the place and it was "so damn cold it's just not true". First of two slightly bizarre incidents at the same station. We won't go into the other one.

Found myself waiting for someone in Liverpool St station during a Friday rush-hour to the accompaniment of Some Girls. A strange sense of power standing on the upper concourse overlooking the scurrying commuter ants down below. See them shimmy, see them go ...

The next day I was a member of My heartland

S*agging in the back of car on a motorway (someone was driving obviously) with Ribbons playing rather loud.

That was 4 years ago... enjoyment hasn't been surpassed since!

i was a passenger in a car that was playing floodland very loud while a fellow passenger car surfed as we went at 60+ down the motorway

car surfing involved opening the sunroof while a taller member of the party climbs up the back of the vehicle and gets a good grip on the open roof. the driver then sets off....



twas coming back from seeing the neph in bradford circa 91. the same journey also saw the driver and the front seat passenger repeatedly trying to simulate the effect of "air breaks" by kicking open their doors at the same time as slamming on the breaks and applying the handbreak... i seem to recall the airbreaks were applied in time to the mish's "wing and a prayer".

indeed.

how i made it back home alive i'll never know

you kerrrazy kids!
