School Trip
Right you lot.

Saturday 27th November, Brixton Academy - Motorhead 35th Anniversary show. We're all going.

I'll need letters of permission from your parents, and NO FUCKING EXCUSES WILL BE TOLERATED. Bollocks like honeymoons, major surgery etc. will not be deemed valid get-outs.

The only person excused is AA, because he'll be blubbing at home to the sounds of Keane that night.

Motorwho?

(PsychoChomp, Fri 19 Mar 2010, 11:54, Reply)

You wouldn't know them
because they aren't from the past fortnight.

I'm very "of the now"
when do tickets go on sale and how much are they?
(PsychoChomp, Fri 19 Mar 2010, 11:56, Reply)

they went on sale at 9am today and are £37.75 which is a bit fucking steep
but having been to the 25th and 30th Anniversary gigs I can assure you it's worth the expense.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 19 Mar 2010, 12:01, Reply)

hmm I won't be able to get them this month, I'll keep an eye out for resale though.

(PsychoChomp, Fri 19 Mar 2010, 12:02, Reply)

Have you bought yours yet?

( thealternativefact, Fri 19 Mar 2010, 12:07, Reply)

lunchtime is the plan

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 19 Mar 2010, 12:07, Reply)

Hmmm...
I'm sorely tempted.

I wouldn't say it's THE plan.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Fri 19 Mar 2010, 12:08, Reply)

You need better lunches.

( thealternativefact, Fri 19 Mar 2010, 12:10, Reply)

touche
I can't decide where to go for lunch today. I'm not in the city centre office so my friday treat of jacket potato isn't viable.

There's a Morrisons down the block but it's pretty far. And it doesn't have Morrisons' only redeeming feature: The Amazing Salad Bar of Awesomeness. And Cheese.

Go to their deli section and buy a pile of filth.

but for now, I'm keen, not Keane

ok

( Peej, Fri 19 Mar 2010, 11:56, Reply)

I don't think I could afford it anyway.
That's about the time of Damnation Festival, so that takes most of my money.

Although I'm a bit gutted, I quite like Motorhead. Favourite track is "The Road Crew"
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Fri 19 Mar 2010, 11:58, Reply)

Sounds Good to me
Will they do 1916?

it's not a regular live choice
but you never know....
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 19 Mar 2010, 12:02, Reply)

how likely is it that they will do Orgasmatron?

(Tugnut Ex of this parish, Fri 19 Mar 2010, 12:05, Reply)

I've seen them do it at least once.
In all truth at full blast on the night, they could play 'Space Oddity' and it'd be fucking brilliant.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 19 Mar 2010, 12:06, Reply)

*"Lemmy - will you do 1916?"*
Lemmy says no.
(Tugnut Ex of this parish, Fri 19 Mar 2010, 12:03, Reply)

Maybe I should ask for anything but 1916
A bit of reverse psycology.

I don't really care. I'm going.
( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Fri 19 Mar 2010, 12:06, Reply)

Have a banner.
'Play anything but 1916!'
That'll do it.
(Tugnut Ex of this parish, Fri 19 Mar 2010, 12:12, Reply)

Only if you hold the other end

( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Fri 19 Mar 2010, 12:19, Reply)

Ooooh.

(Tugnut Ex of this parish, Fri 19 Mar 2010, 12:22, Reply)

Motorhead. Alright.

(Tugnut Ex of this parish, Fri 19 Mar 2010, 12:04, Reply)

Motorhead always reminds me
of this guy that used to come into the bar I worked in. He always used to wear a Motorhead patched leather waistcoat. He had Ozzie tattooed down one arm and Sabbath tattooed down the other.

Only Sabbath was spelled Sabbaht. Which made me laugh every time I saw him and I'd have to hide behind the Warsteiner pump so he wouldn't see me snickering.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Fri 19 Mar 2010, 12:06, Reply)

no Iron Maiden?
what a disgrace
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Fri 19 Mar 2010, 12:11, Reply)

He may well have had
Iorn Mayden tattooed on his back, but it would have been hidden by his Motorhead waistcoat. He looked like Tom Savini.

Too close to call.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 19 Mar 2010, 12:15, Reply)

I am indifferent to Motorhead.
I'm assuming that, as a non-regular /ot contributor, I'm exempt.

Phew.
( Enzyme is powered by sunlight, Fri 19 Mar 2010, 12:11, Reply)

NO EXCUSES.

One should never assume, Enzyme.
I think I shall take you as my +1.

Can't I stay behind and listen to Keane too?
Gawd, I hate this class. Ugh!

NO.
Look if this attitude doesn't change we are going to have serious words, young lady. Pull your socks up and knuckle down.

That's my favourire, but I prefer the Mark Ronson cover with Sting

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Fri 19 Mar 2010, 12:19, Reply)

I think Keane did a cover
as did Bowie.

Nah, Monty doesnt take the bait anymore
even though he likes a "one-trick-pony" band like Motorhead
( Colonel Dracula Two manky hookers and a racist dwarf, Fri 19 Mar 2010, 12:24, Reply)

If the trick is a good one, then that's fine by me.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 19 Mar 2010, 12:25, Reply)

I liked it when they were on "The Young Ones"
I believe they sang a song, what was it..."Five of Clubs"?..."Jack of Diamonds"?...
( Colonel Dracula Two manky hookers and a racist dwarf, Fri 19 Mar 2010, 12:26, Reply)

The Ramones Syndrome.

(Tugnut Ex of this parish, Fri 19 Mar 2010, 12:27, Reply)

I must admit to having a soft spot for The Ramones

( Colonel Dracula Two manky hookers and a racist dwarf, Fri 19 Mar 2010, 12:30, Reply)

I LOVE them.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 19 Mar 2010, 12:33, Reply)

I take it that you've seen them do "Rock and roll high school" on The Old Grey Whistle test?
they did a song for the film "Pet Semetary", and "Blitzkrieg Bop" features heavily in the book.

I certainly have
The finest footage I've ever seen is the New Year's Eve London show from (I think) '78 - the gig immortalised in the unimpeachable 'It's Alive' LP. It's incredible.

Hopefully I'll be having sex by then so will be too busy to attend.

Two birds - one stone. Win/win etc...

Lemmy is a smooth operator.
Having been turned down by an 18-year-old friend of mine, he followed up with the classic - "Are you sure? I'm LEMMY."
