Nah, K has turned into one of those 'one message posters' who then just fucks off.
What was your favourite ice-cream/lolly as a child Captain.

I want to know.

strawberry
I really fancy some icecream now, but if I get some sometime, it's going to be something posh like Ben and Jerry's fishfood

It was all about the FAB or a Funny Foot when I were a nipper.

Had one of those at the International Garden Festival in 1984

That is quite a precise recollection Roota.
Where were you when you last had a Cornetto?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 2 Jan 2012, 0:06, Reply)

Ooooh, cinema I think. About 7 years ago.

( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Mon 2 Jan 2012, 0:09, Reply)

I just remembered how much I love cornettoes
I wonder if anywhere round here sells them at 1/4 to midnight and which wouldn't mind the fact I'm in pj bottoms

PICTURE 16
I lived up that road, opposite the bit where the flyover meets the ground. That is right behind the Walker Art Gallery.

Looks like a nice spot.
Did the ice-cream van come around on the weekend?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 2 Jan 2012, 0:07, Reply)

Tony the eye-tie came round every night and called me Blue Eyes

( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Mon 2 Jan 2012, 0:12, Reply)

Fucking Tony rocked!
I'll drop you a line in the new year with details various. See. I haven't forgotten.

I hope he offered to put dragons blood on your cornett.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 2 Jan 2012, 0:16, Reply)

Ta mate,
and yes. He was also very good at getting Pushups to push up
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Mon 2 Jan 2012, 0:17, Reply)

Did he also sell smack?
Most ice-cream men branched out into class a drugs in the 70s and 80s.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 2 Jan 2012, 0:20, Reply)

I don't think so, cos he was different from the others.
That Mr Whippy cunt probs did
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Mon 2 Jan 2012, 0:25, Reply)

You were probably too young to get smack from Tone anyway.
I'm guessing it was a 'special' 99 or something.

really?!
Well, it's famous (amongst photographers)

I must show my family and see if they know who the kid is.

( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Mon 2 Jan 2012, 0:03, Reply)

I don't actually know which project that picture is from

Nooo way.
I recognise New Brighton in the other pics.
I'd love to see the others. Oh the deprivation. I can tell you that the kid was 100% on her way to Jim's shop. That's the only reason we went down that hill.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Mon 2 Jan 2012, 0:10, Reply)

The New Brighton project (The Last Resort)
is the really famous one.

He's got a website, there are a few pictures on it if you go to the Books section. www.martinparr.com
