My wife, a nephew and niece just told me I am going to London to see Prince!
6th September...
I'm going to book a few nights in the City and take in a few old haunts for
fun!
Is Spendi still smoking then?
Wow! wow! wow!
He's very brave isn't he..
Prince who?
Charles
Edward
Andrew
It's amazing what non-smokers will do to fill up those boring hours.
Me-I just roll a stogie and relax, open Henry Fielding's great book anywhere, flip to the Third Programme, which has another name now, and spend the night grinning sheepishly at the thought of all those silly sods thrashing up and down, polluting everything they pass, stressing themselves up, clogging up the arteries of the nation and carting money from the provinces into the city centres so that the denizens therein can afford to snort cocaine and pay the council tax on their wine bars and whorehouses.
After that a short trip to the pub to find out the latest scuttlebuck and blimp a few homemade tits and then a good snuggle in my own fester-pit.
Be careful Mathos- some of the things the last occupants of a room left behind have been known to jump six feet.
Isn't Prince the pocket Barry Manilow?
Night out to me Spendi...
The wife has had this crush on him for years! She say's he's 'Got It'
Purple Rain, Big Dipper, Cream, Sign of The times, Get off, Purple Rain..I just asked her for a couple of her favourites!
Big following too, so she could be right...Zimmerman couldn't fill the size of haunts he does, that's for sure! She laughed when I asked her if Zimmerman was comparable.
PS I only stay in good hotels mate...Rooms are spotless!
Well Mathos- I would never admit that a wife of mine had a crush on another chap even if he was bigger than me.
Coronation Street has a "big following". Since when have you adopted that as a benchmark of your standard of excellence.
Mr Dylan played in front of 300,000 at Blackbushe when he was older than your new hero. And he topped the bill at Live Aid. By the side of Bob Dylan your Prince is a little lad.
And don't be too sure about the "spotless" in London. Not in those cheap hotels at least or even in the cheap sections of the dear ones. You would be better off in a nice B&B with an officious and fussy landlady. You could always say you had been in a posh one and you would be quids in.
I don't think I've ever seen or heard Prince.
I mix him up with Kid Creole and the Coconuts.
I saw those Coconuts on a video once, they were great! Like the dancers on "Living la Vida Loca".

MCT sorry about the leg old boy. Have you thought about going to an NHS walk in centre? Or as I have always refered to them, Limp - In Centre. Quite appropriate in your case.
Yeah, how come the only people you see in a health food store look so unwell?
Our local doctors work in a "Health Centre" but really it's a illness centre.
I think the crush thing started in the late 50's mate, Cliff and Elvis ! It's natural, I still have them on various women, I'd be thinking I was dead from the neck down if I didn't, you know and become celibate like you!
A wife of yours eh Spendi, how many have you had mate?
Not exactly my Prince either mate, but I've no problem going along to watch him, he is good that is common knowledge. I went with her to see The Boss once, he was good too! Oh and we have seen Zimmerman a few times, but he barely fills Wembley Arena and there were 50% of the seats unsold in the MEN Stadium, speaks for itself really!
Women are peculiar too mate, but you won't understand that! She always thought that Kojak feller was sexy!
I'll stick with the best looking man on TV, John Barrowman.
Oh I forgot - she sang Union City Blue as well.
Got some clips on my mobile, wonder if I can post them somehow.
Re Prince - you lot are hilarious, really.
Mathos, you will have the night of your life, trust me.
I always do Dorothy, wherever I go.....Trust me x
It's Gonna Be A Beautiful Night

no sorry never heard of him. Take it he's good looking? Does he pull a funny face once in a while?
mathos just because you have a new found crush on prince dont go around saying you will do dorothy.
Steve, if you've ever watched Dr Who or Torchwood, he's Captain Jack Harkness. Drop dead gorgeous.
Hey- the pub fag machine is still operating.
You won't flipping believe this but I saw, with my own eyes, this very night, not more than half-a-flipping- hour ago, although it seems a flipping sight flipping longer, a flipping bloke, put six flipping quid in a flipping fag machine in the flipping pub and when he got the flipping cellophane off the flipping packet the silly flipper had to flipping well go outflipping side to flippingwell light the flipper up. And it was pissing flipping down.
That's pretty flipping humiliating in my book and I don't give a flip what anybody else thinks.
It's like going in a flipping house of ill repute for a flip, shelling out the spondoolicks to the serious fat flipper at the big flipping desk on the basis of some pastel tinted flipping photoflippinggraphs, admirable though they flipping are, and being handed a blow up flipping doll with a silly flipping expression on its flipping mush.
You could end up buying a flipping car, a motor flipping mower, some flipping smelly flipping sticks, central flipping heating appliances, flipping Christmas flipping crackers and, due to some silly custodian of stuflippingpidity having flipped up and flipping carked it, or not having flipping felt so flipping hot and had to disturb a flipping doctor, you would find the whole flipping lot, and a flipping sight more besides, placed out of flipping use, unflipping fit for flipping purpose, like the flipping Home Office according to the last flipping Home Secretary, except to the custodians who sold you the flippers and are flipping grinning all over their flipping ugly flipping fissogs as they snort their lines of cocaine and flipping giggle at how flipping much you are prepared to be flipping humiliated in order to last a bit flipping longer in the midst of a flipping shitestorm such as flipping Darwin never even flipping thought about when he penned his great flipping tome about natural flipping selection and all that flipping arseblurt concerning the flipping survival of the flipping fittest.
What I want to flipping know is are there flipping fumes coming out of that flipping fag machine which could flip me up and cause me to be a flipping drain on the flipping NHS budget which every flipper knows should be spent on flipping carpets and flipping furniture and flipping uniforms and flipping management committee flipping rooms and conference flipwits.
And don't forget the latest flipping shoe fashion, flipping flip-flops.
So a pub fag machine is a new kind of off-licence, why is that a problem?
Some people don't like standing among people who smoke.
And I'm one of them. Stick that in your pipe and flip it.
Hooray for Gordon and his merrie men.
Not only is Gordon taking the piss out of you with his control of the smokers Spendi, he is really rubbing it in with the tax collecting machine in the pub!
Tax rises on alcohol must be imposed in order to reduce damage caused to health. Chief Medical Officer Sir Liam Donaldson suggested.
Sir Liam has told the Telegraph that in order to control the binge drinking and drinking in general, a similar approach must be made to booze as was taken to 'destroy tobacco smoking'
Tobacco is a good example of a public health problem that is in hand, but when we turn to obesity and misuse those are not yet anywhere near under control.
Watch out Spendi...your freedom of having a pint is under threat now..
