He could see that there was a light shining from under the hall door,but no one has used that room since Jabby was involved in the motorway explosion,and the sock fiasco.Robyn couln't bring himself to go in there,and just seeing the tiny dust balls might be too much for him.but as he stared at the hall door,damning those mock chicken protein wafers,to himself,he heard a faint,woolly whistle...."Tweeeeet"..twee..twe..
"Oh Jabby!!",Robyn shouted,"You've come home!!".And,It was at that very moment, through the sweat and tears,that Robyn realised something was.. dreadfully..wrong.....with Jabby.....

Flaming balls of molten iron traveling at super sonic speeds would unfortunately cut straight through even the finest umbrella No. it took a quick wit and nimble feet to avoid this extraterrestrial shower. And what of the evil viruses that lurked inside the craters ? "Just keep your handkerchief over your mouth and nose", Little Gerald's mum had told them, and so they did, breathing quickly through the now soggy cotton that protected them from severe deformation and internal bleeding. They were almost home now. They could see the thatched roofs of the village, burning in the chaos. And deep down the cellar, Mum would be waiting with warm cider and a bed time story to lull the little ones into happy dream land.

CW- its a self-ti.tled cd on sequel records. Its got 10 tracks, 9 previously released (from 8 different disks) and "statue with a walkman" the only bonus. well worth it though, "statue" is a great song.

Good morning, everyone! Yes, I was at Sat--day's show, and, guess what, someone there told me he DID play there last Friday the 8th, and also Friday the 14th. But anyhoo, although you'd expect nothing but a biased review at this site, YES, he was simply fantastic - he played very well, was obviously having a really good time. Grant Lee Phillips was there, a few others as well, (including a tabla player) to help him out. In terms of stage chat, he was in fine form. He played for about an hour and 1/2 - I know Grant Lee came back to play later, and I'm sure Robyn came back, but we didn't stay - were totally wiped out from the busy week and weekend. One gal I spoke to who was at all the shows told me they were really wild last Friday - Kinks covers, Xmas carols, everything 'till 2:30 a.m.! My hubby saw him for this first time and was WELL impressed. . . . Sorry, I'm not really much of a 'reviewer' (yes, where is Voltaic, and was he there). . . . Sleepy, you're in for something wonderful this week, I'm sure!

Hello. I found a computer centre near the shops (no cafe though). What luck, eh? I'm not keen on "Wafflehead" myself, I must say. I've got a 'French' (ie Robyn singing in silly French accent, as opposed to actually singing in French) version of 'Wafflehead', but I still find it mildly irritating. It's funny to watch him perform it though. Re: Uncle Bobby. It's from the Portland Arms tape. Robyn says: "Say 'No Uncle Bobby we won't'" - crowd does as he says! I have called him Uncle Bobby, though I cringe to remember it now. He didn't seem to mind. Is there a chat tomorrow? I can't make it. Boo. Anyway, I've got to get some coffee. Speak to you on Monday.

See there, you've gone and frustrated me (confession 1). When you have finished copying all the elements of that post and rearranged them in some sad effort to contribute, print it out and send it to your mother so see can read it while I shave her hairy back. And no, you can't suck my dog. I wouldn't let you suck my worst enemy's dog. Not until you actually offer something original. Yes, this is confession number 2: you have bored me so much that I won't fight with you anymore. Drive me off the board? Never. Make me hate you? You haven't even begun to be that important to me. Hate is too much work; it has to be potentially profitable for me to hate. With you, I might as well hate the strand of snot I wiped on your mother's a-- last night.
