Last time I was in Nottingham
Was to play at a wedding, and the city nicely decided to have a massive festival on the same night, culminating in about £10,000 of fireworks just outside the reception venue. Not a bad wedding present from the council.

Last time I was in Nottingham
was to visit my grandmother in an old people's home. Less raucous but at least I got my end away.

SORRY. That's repulsive even by my standards.

I have the very highest of standards.
The thought of you thinking so badly of me is like a shaft of ice through my wounded heart.

but that was a compliment
compared to my usual views on the male species!

So the smell of old people's homes is not cabbage as previously thought but of your gentleman's relish all over the curtains

I'd once been swimming, as a student
and had hung up my damp shorts in my room to dry. A mate came in and proclaimed that it smelt like I'd been wanking.

I was concerned by this, as it inferred his jizz smelt of chlorine.

Yes, you are correct.

I once did a gig in Edinburgh like that
which corresponded with the last Saturday of the festival, which had MASSIVE fireworks all down the castle walls.

Nearly got killed later that night by someone throwing a beer bottle off the North Bridge, but it was a good gig.

my friends live really close to Old Trafford
so they can see all the gigs for free. They had their housewarming party on the same night as the Muse gig so they didn't play music for the first couple of hours.

On the flip side, bit of a ballache when Oasis are playing.
