âWell Alrightâ this is not alright
Would the residents of Shore St prefer this to be in the Park like a cunt thread ?
Expert napping on the go.
And ours when we lived in Richmond. We turned down a job as a management couple there but liked the Guvnor and his wife.
I used to get the overground from kilburn and meet my pal who lived just over the bridge in Rosslyn road. Great pub.
I remember a couple of huge salmon being washed up on the jetty thing at low tide which weirdly sticks in my mind
I remember one Summers evening in 1992ish, collecting glasses at 2am to help the staff who were obliged to clear up the entire area every night.
I also remember being exceptionally drunk
Pick one.
Even at my most drunk, I may have blank moments, but I still remember stuff. Often guilt laden, but a memory none the less.
Practice makes perfect
Practice isnât an issâŚâŚ. You do know who youâre talking to, right ?
Rodriguez (Sugarman) in London
I travelled to see him at the Deaf Institute in Manchester with a long gone ex late 2000s after being introduced to him by a South African friend in the 90s. Back then I remember having to get Tower Records to import the CD at stupid additional costs as he was unknown in the UK. I then had to import again as my mate refused to give me the cd back I loaned him as he said it was too good. I had been a massive fan of the sugar man so spent ÂŁ300 on the trip to go to a ÂŁ12 a ticket gig with around 200 people at best, he was still pretty unknown at this point. The Deaf Institute had a really cool speaker wall behind the bar. Unfortunately, the gig was a shambles, he was nervous, drunk as a skunk, incoherent and asking the gig goers for more wine, which some duly obliged. I left really disappointed then, hero status ruined. A number of years later the movie came out and he became a big deal. I donât hold a grudge against him, just wish Iâd seen him in top form.
David Holmes put him on at the Barbican - did anyone go?
Searching for Sugar Man, a one and a half hour film on youtube. If your a fan or not, worth a viewing. Strange, yet talented fella.
