Part 11: Dryin' Up



The Dryer What's the difference between an egg and a wank?
You can beat an egg..

On board our super duper fabola new bus, ably driven by the lovely Ewan, on the way to Brighton, but that's for another day.
After Croydon it was home for some, and Cambridge for others for a day off. Quite odd having a Saturday off, good job I didn't go to see TWFMBFC at Wycombe, as they got pasted.

Quite simply, 'erbeindthedoors wouldn't let me:
"Honey, mind if I go to football this afternoon?"
"Yes"
Guys, do you know what I mean? Women have a great way of saying one word that means "if you think I'm going to stand for you doing that you've got another think coming, now do the gardening and pamper me, or else...

Cambridge. Corn Exchange.. Great sweatinrockintypeothingmate, I should imagine a good (and loud!) place to see us. Only trouble was that Rick's guitar for some reason sounded like a hacksaw, really killed the ears, most notably those belonging to HRH God of Purley, didn't bother me, as I'm deaf as a poast (geordie for post), courtesy of Jeff Rich, the hi-hats did for my right ear, still, can't complain, he swears it was me that gave him tinnitus, which one definitely will not be putting on ones' Xmas list. Warming Up

Talking of Xmas, what have you got me? Same as last I expect, you tight bastids... More mistakes on Gerdundula, we are getting well past it, I tell ya. In fact, I am a firm believer in the hereafter, as in what was I here after? Made myself laugh then, as I don't remember if I wrote that before! (wrote what?)

Crawley... I'm not saying I'm unprofessional, but left home for Crawley, driving myself, arrived at Crawley, and realised a) I'd left my itinerary and mobile at home, and b) didn't have a clue where we were playing... One hour later arrived at Crawley leisure centre, after Crawley leisure park (twice), Crawley Council offices, and 2 Crawley type gas stations, what a scenic place Crawley is.

Now a sauna's a sauna. But this is mad, one of the smaller gigs, with one of the quietest audiences I can remember. Matt is now 2 shirts Letley, he wears a vest under his gig shirt, but this was mad. He looked like he was raining, but he can take it. His arms are like bloody tree trunks, again, a right cross from the Letley is an item definitely not on ones' Xmas list. Again, the luvly Letleys were present, along with some topola totty in billy near to moi. I read on the message board something about lack of totty. Well, that's 'cos they're all in front of me!! Gommor still got bad ears, which is making him the GOGORR (grumpy old git of rock and roll) , can't be much fun though... also received a courtesy visit from Lord Bob of Youngshire. Filming Quo

Sarfend. Rake on the stage, at least I think there was, unless the drugs kicked in, the TV crew were filming fans (they're back on the tour) for the docu, if you will rockumentary we're doing for the telly next year (see pic), I enjoyed it a lot less than the others, mainly because my ankle was caning, and when I moved forward at anything more than 1 mile per hour I wasn't sure if I would stop or go straight off the front.

Still, it rocked, and another day off, yippee!! I is tired, marther farkars, we're driving towards Brighton, and are about 3 miles from the country seat, love to slope off for a few hours, but hey enough of my yakkin'...

I was told yesterday that R****'* R****** is available in Tower Records Jerusalem… unless it's been blown up.
Now grow up,
Monsieur Ed X
