Wasted... tipping it down a Bloke from Leeds and tipping it down the drain is the same thing for many southerners, to be fair, although i’ve always had a very warm welcome in the South!

If you could make the venue close to a tube stop and within a safe time window for getting back to Liverpool St. station then I'd be up for popping down for the evening. I'm sure a few of the other Norwich forumengers would be up for it too!

I’ll study the maps and see about a venue - alternatively I could do a little gig in Norwich if you can rustle up a small audience! A tour, perhaps!

A classic, "wanking his knackers flat" has had me giggling all day.

Manchester gig plz Luci. Ride over in the pissing rain for it too if poss ;)

Would go.

Manchester would be interesting - not sure how many would turn up though. Is there a decent forum presence in Manchester? It’d be easy enough to get to for me. Norwich less so, but it’s doable!

Norwich - in

Didn’t someone ride miles across the moors in the rain and fog to the gig I went too up in the frozen wasteland?

I thought you would be... :)

In like Flynn!

Yep - something mad like 30 miles in wind & rain in pitch black with the intention of rough camping in the beer garden! Very humbling!

Morning!

Got a new one for you.

A bit of a walk down memory lane.

LIDS, LIDS, LIDS

Cheers!

Well, that's a cheery one.
Did lol at "...no. Oh no."

Cheers to you good man.

Yeah, not particularly light hearted.
It was meant to be, then I remembered more and more and it stopped being quite so funny.
Hey ho, it's how it goes...

This just in. Looking forward to much entertainment!

Oh, well done!! I really hope you like it!

Bleak! But good. As a newcomer (only 8 years now) I recognise the Leeds you’re talking about, although it seems like it might be a bit less grim nowadays. Do you think? I have to hope so, I’m trying to raise kids here.

Only just got around to reading this, and while not one of your giggle or guffaw reads, I love the atmosphere you capture in your writing.

That was fucking excellent Luci. Too real but excellent all the same.

@radar Leeds is totally unrecognisable these days. It was a bleak, horrible hole back then & very stabby. It’s a pretty good place now, a good place to raise a family!

@mi7rennie @JonD thank you lads - it is a dark one, but those were dark days! As soon as I started writing it I was transported back there. The memories of that particular spot are ingrained like muck on a miner’s neck. You can’t shift it, you just have to live with it.

Feel like I was there with you.

I thought as much. I like it here, although it’s taken me a while to feel settled. Your writing is the kind of thing that helps me relate to the place a bit better.
