Before our our cup semi I saw the big guy from The Chase, Mark Labbett, on Wembley Way, even before we handed them their backsides he had a face like a smacked arse - miserable, fat ****er him.
(Stop) Oh yes, wait a minute Mr. Postman (Wait) Wait Mr. Postman (Please Mr. Postman look and see) Oh yeah (If there's a letter in your bag for me) Please, please, Mr. Postman
Saw him getting out of a taxi close to Wembley with his hangers-on in tow...Huge mother of a bloke. The taxi's suspension sighed as he climbed out.
I took the missus for a luxury spa weekend at Raithwaite Hall, near Whitby, a couple of years back and as we were checking out, John Cooper Clarke was checking in. The receptionist obviously had no idea who he was, he was with his manager and as he stood there is his fitted black suit, black shirt and long black hair all over the place, she said 'which one of you is Mr Clarke? Maybe it was the inspiration for this... HEALTH FANATIC Around the block – against the clock Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock Running out of breath – running out of socks Rubber on the road… flippety flop Non-skid agility… chop chop No time to hang about Work out health fanatic… work out! The crack of dawn he’s lifting weights His tell-tale heart reverberates He’s high in polyunsaturates… Low in polysaturates… The Duke of Edinburgh’s award awaits It’s a man’s life He’s a health fanatic… so was his wife A one-man war against decay Enjoys himself the hard way Allows himself a mars a day How old am I – what do I weigh Punch me there… does it hurt… no way Running on the spot don’t get too hot He’s a health fanatic, that’s why not Running through the traffic jam – taking in the lead Hyperactivity keeps him out of bed Deep down he’d like to kick it in the head They’ll regret it when they’re dead There’s more to life than fun He’s a health fanatic – he’s got to run Beans greens and tangerines And low cholestrol margarines His limbs are loose, his teeth are clean He’s a high-octane fresh-air fiend You’ve got to admit he’s keen What can you do but be impressed He’s a health fanatic… give it a rest Shadow boxing – punch the wall One-a-side football… what’s the score… one-all Could have been a copper… too small Could have been a jockey… too tall Knees up, knees up… head the ball Nervous energy makes him tick He’s a health fanatic… he makes you sick
Went to Johnny Marr on Wednesday at Welly. The guy is even better then I thought. PS has anyone got any lighter fluid because I'm going to burn my guitars in the back garden please log in to view this image
I went, was a great evening. He's the best guitarist ever imo. (I know that's sacrilege, but whatever) Hopefully he's stayed in Hull and makes a cameo at Liam's gig tomorrow
What's the Polar Bear like as a venue? I was a big Mallory Knox fan and they are about to release a new album and go on tour without the lead singer who left the band. Debating whether to go.
Went to see Sharon Van Etten in Leeds last night, another cracking evening, might've been the best gig I've been to this year so far. Absolutely ****ing shattered and hungover now, but completely worth it.
Saw Blossoms at Lincoln Engine Shed on Wednesday. They were great. Had only been to the Engine Shed for comedy upstairs previously, it's a nice little venue.
Scouting for Girls there tonight If you’re going I’d recommend seeing the early support act, King No One. They were really good at Sesh
Zebedee's Yard is a fantastic venue and you've got the weather. You're in for a great night mate, enjoy. Me, I'm off to my ear syringed
