The Daily Not-Rothko is the line in the fallen leaves made by the wind from passing cars
My lips are sealed Am (are we talking Albert?)
A work of genius
Don't. Mention. The. Snakes.....
Yep!
Cheers
And a very handsome one it is too
Yeah, Street light + tree + fog
Yeah, or maybe a soft, distant Gregorian Chant
It is a wonderful urinal, it feels holy in there
Shite, hope you're not too broken by it Am?
Wow!
Well, top three would probably be The Who, The Small faces and, in the 80s revival, The Chords
A sometimes tetchy man but a brilliant one (and no-one is ever far right in the Mekons Caz, these people are Our People and we love them for it)
Saw Jules on Friday, on crutches but on form, still smiling, hugs all round, be another month before she's back behind the bar though
Ha! He's young Eden, he can take the pace!
Quite right
I have a Toyota, white, the only reason mine's 'convertible' is that bits are falling off (and held on with duct tape).
Brilliant, I effing love a veggie dog, slathered with fried onions, mustard and red sauce, food of the gods.
Ha! A convertible what? Flush the Orange Turd pal and we'll see what we can do!
Excellent Shib, yes, it's a fine pub, and popular and packed too, but with a v friendly vibe and some great cider too. The 80 Bob was superb, I would venture that it is by far the best Arbor beer I have ever drunk.
It would be an honour Rob, and if I ever did dip my toe Stateside (I never have), I would put SF in my top 5 to visit, along with NY, the PNW and Chicago. There is a beautiful man, a Mekon, over near you, Santa Cruz I think, I'd like to pay him a visit too. Hate to ask, but can I get a Veggie Dog?
Yeah, front right, Wee Stevie Goulding, finest drummer in the world, must be 40 years a Mekon now.
Nah, that's not AI, that's Alf (my boy)!
Yep, Green was Good, and money was all that mattered. It's never changed, not under Blair, not under Starmer. It's time for change Ralph, this shit isn't working and people are starting to cotton on, only trouble is they're still falling for the lies of the ruling class and flocking to Reform.
Ouch! I was hit for six by a car as a kid in London, 66 or 67, don't remember much about it other than pink cherry blossom, lots of blood, a park keeper picking me up and my pregnant mother screaming
In the pub so will play that later.
And no doubt to young Whitley too! I know the name, and some of the work.
Is that Steve Goulding front right?
