Oh my giddy aunt.
I was watching a youtube clip of Caravan on the bbc in 1971 when I noticed a link to Hatfield and the north.
I LOVED Hatfield and the north way back then so had a listen. They were fucking dire.
What did you love that is fucking dire now? Null points for YM unless it's the first answer.

Alt: Hearts eh?

LOVE
Caravan, not actual caravans.

Apparently when I was a kitten, I used to really like Paul Daniels. I can't believe that though.

Oh man Caravan are one of my all time favourites.
'In the land of grey and pink' was one of my favourite records as a teenager. Their first album and 'if I could do it all over again...' are equally great. Hatfield were shite though, you're right.

As an impressionable sixteen year old.
I really liked The Enemy, the band I mean. This was partly because a lad I knew at Fulham was their tour manager so we always got to see them for free as well get backstage passes and the like. Looking back their music was/is fucking abysmal.

Dandelion and Burdock.
Used to drink gallons of it as a kid, tried it (for some reason) a while back, only to find that it actually tastes utterly fucking dire.

Then again, when I was a kid I really didn't like beer and G&T, so maybe it's just as well ... swings and roundabouts, eh readers?

Having parties.
Man, we threw the best parties. The drink mixtures, the massive drugs, the music, the craic, the vaguely regrettable sexual encounters. People were still talking about them years later. Now I hate the noise, the hassle, the expense, and the fact that there are people in my house.

My mum had a funny turn last night and asked me to be with her as my dad was out drinking.
I'd had a bottle of wine at this point but shoved a coffee down my neck and drove to her house. By the time I got there she'd rang National Health advice line to get advice and they'd sent a bloody ambulance for her. Off I go with her to Blackburn which is another town as we don't have an A&E dept in Burnly. I was a bit drunk, looked like shit, crappy jog pants, no knickers, fleece jacket full of dog hairs etc. Got to bed about 2pm. Up early today to do errands, for my mum, sister etc and walk the dogs all the while my neck is killing me. I managed to have a nap around 3.30pm today and I've just woke up.

She's ok btw.

Have the diagnosed what was wrong with your mum, or have they just said it's one of those things?

Why not run yourself a nice hot bath and have a long soak, it might help the pain in your neck.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sat 2 Apr 2011, 19:20, Reply)

She had a tight chest, bit of difficulty breathing etc.
She's as fit as a butchers dog but I guess it's better to make sure. Docs think it's stress related.

I can't be bothered to have a bath so I'll just neck more painkillers.

A little, yes
Some cracking chants too. Every time Carroll fouled someone (and that was a lot): "Hit fucking women, you only hit fucking women"; "Sign on, sign on, with pen, in your hand, and you'll never work again"; "Shit Man United, you're just a shit Man United"; "King Kenny? You're having a laugh" and on and on.

Mostly I was pleased that we got the result our performance deserved, we were so much better than them. To be fair, they lost two defenders to injury in the first half, but we made them look bad all over the park.

I can't be arsed to cook a steak (and that's some serious not being arsed) so I've ordered pizza to be delivered instead, because I deserve it.
