That looks a good tour to be on Kim, well done.
If you're doing the Hastings date and you get the time I can recommend a look around the Old Town. Fascinating place. The net-drying huts on the beach are unique.
Still got that Hartke cab?

Yea, the old racist mysoginist was always a favourite of mine in my youth ;) No, seriously. I giggled every time that recent add came on with the 'little boxes' song sung in horrible indie melancholy. Just reminded me of Mr Vasey every time. I also chuckle every time someone mentions the word hospice :)

Well done getting the gig, and good luck with it.

But chubby Brown is about as funny as a baby sucking a razor blade.

That looks suspiciously like Pete Cox on guitar.... and Denise! Known Pete since the late 70s, and Denise from when she was in the Love Bombs. Small world.

N, seriously, good luck. I wouldnt turn it down btw.

But spent some winter time in Tenerrife, All the bars were full of chavs watching chubby brown videos while their kids sat watching and looking bored. Crude jokes and bad language just dont make me laugh. Prhaps thats what put me off.
