hangovers

I've now got back for good by take that stuck in my head. Um, cheers for that.

Could have been "Pray", count your blessings. Steven Wells would be well proud of you now.

My favourite Take That video was the one when they're in the boxing ring

unfortunately I was in the Salisbury, a pub of great character on Green Lanes, so I daresay dear old Swells would deride me as some kind of joyless Baudelaire-loving faux-Arsenal fan snob for not swigging alchopops in the Hogshead.

I dunno, Nick Cave's "Sad Waters" does it for me, ironic as The Birthday Party+ drinking heavily= skullfucking mornings after for me. The other weird thing about hangovers is I get songs in my head I usually wouldn't listen to, like one day I was suffering at work and the only thing that kept me sane was my brain playing "Intuition" by Linx, repeatedly, for hours. I would have paid serious money to hear it for real that day, I looked it up on Amazon but the album's never been re-released on CD and I couldn't be bothered to hunt for that track on some 80s compilation full of shit bands. I also quite enjoy getting George Michael and Take That ballads in my head when I'm hungover sick.

I'd really like to read something on hangovers and music, you're exactly right on what weirdness the brain drags up. I think it's brain cells dying.

Embarrassing hangover moments - bursting into tears in a charity shop because I'd remembered a really happy memory.

*throw away the key is better - - if you find a copy of the album I'd like one too.

Ah, thanks for that - wicked! I never even thought of trying YouTube.

Incidentally, John Eden has a funny story about David Grant from Linx, tomfooling around in someone's garden, but I'll let him relate it.

By the way, for people who wear glasses, if you fancy someone and "Intuition" comes on, all you have to do is approach them and at the "In - tu- ition!" bit raise your index fingers to the sides of your specs and flick them towards the object of your desire, and bingo - you WILL pull

Apparently Tony Wakeford's taken out a contract on Eden AND Stewart Home, which probably explains why both have been quiet of late ('working on Woofah' my arse...)

lol. And Karl's taken out a contract on anyone who ever talked to Wakeford ever ever, so looks like 2008 is gonna be a massacre of a year.

David Grant (who isn't a nazi, btw) featured in some bonkers kids TV show that some friends of mine volunteered to take part in. He hid in their house amongst much subtefuge. He was also filmed clowning about in our garden, for reasons I still find bewildering. I wasn't there, but apparently he likes Lee Perry a lot.

My mate got gunged. I think she probably had a hangover...

It was all very very random.

Haha, this must have been 15, 16 years ago or thereabouts? Because there was that bizarre period in the early-to-mid '90s when every other show on TV involved members of the public, and occasionally celebrities, getting covered in 'gunge'...

perhaps its decline in popularity is related to its resemblance to the de facto coup de grace of most current pornography?

there are no accidents
I will, at some point in my life, open a cafe with a guy called Hoople called 'The Morning After' which will serve fried breakfasts, play country and western music and have booths in the back with beds to lie down on and have sex or pleasure oneself whilst watching porn-on-demand.

Bliss.

I think when you stop getting hangovers it means that your liver is giving out, is that true?

Bloody Marys. don't forget about them.

haven't heard the liver thing...

Shit - a gunge revival?

Heh, why does that phrase make me think of Staind and Nickelback? ;)

Who were the ones who did the Levis advert back around '95 with the ponce thrashing around in the lake? I was trying to remember their name the other day

Here they are:


How does one get a gunging these days? Do your offspring set it up?

yeah it was at the behest of the kids. Apparently they use instant mashed "potato".

I was a bit disappointed that there was no insane delivery mechanism, just a crew member round the back with a bucket. :(
