CLUB SUSSED II

Is there a cheap plane at our disposal?

DJ Constant Spray. Just to let you know. It'll be PHAT!

Who's coming, then? Any requests?

I won't be there, but I'd like to request "Sour Girl" by Stone Temple Pilots. (Note that I would not be requesting this song if I was actually going to be in attendance.)

What I always want to hear. The Shangri-Las.

There will never be a club sussed where I do not bring a record by the Shangri Las.

I fear I may not be along on Thursday as I have to go into work on Friday this time.

But I'll see you on Friday in the KoC. (Early doors beer in Rupert ST Blue Posts?)

Ditto. Why don't you have a club in London or somewhere proper?

what emma said. a london club would rule

Everyone back to ours!

This is not the proper arena for discussion of pre-karaoke drinks, surely.

Success of club in Oxford may - who knows - lead to a club in London? Failing that there's always Triggerfest in August.

Tell me more of this London thing called Triggerfest.

Despite promises to the contrary I won't be able to make it tomorrow either. I've already turned up to work in a less than wonderful state once this week and twice might be pushing it a little.

You dogs - nobody is going to come, oh God, etc.

Triggerfest - huge festival of fun and laughter which I don't actually think anyone's done anything about setting up. 1st weekend in August, basically.

I am going whether anyone likes it or not! Is ANYONE going to go and Ride The Red Bus with me, or am I going to sit by myself and fantasise about Radiohead?

DG - you still planning on coming?

I have it on good authority that the playing of a LLOYD COLE RECORD is planned by one of the DJs (not me). Maybe the Pinefox could be encouraged from his den...?

I am too weak and sickly to attend. I will be karaokising tomorrow though.

I was interested in the Triggerfest until I found out it had nothing to do with Roy Rogers.

Who sez? "Huge festival of fun and laughter" doesn't rule out Roy Rogers, not after all the Thom Yorke of the cowboy world.

I am interested in Triggerfest, now that I know there may be a Roy Rogers element to the festivities.

will there be an only fool and horses element though?

sorry I can't come tonight either, tomorrow is pay-day, consequently I have much less than no money at the moment.

Hmm...I might be there, although it's extremely unlikely. It's not that I don't want to, it's the journey - I'll have to do it on my own and then negotiate London and the night buses *AGAIN*. Not sure. Anyone up for coming with me?

DG, Paul & I are meeting outside Victoria Station where the OxTube leaves from around 5.30 - anyone wanting company there & back is welcome to join us. I'm wearing my new Spacemen3 t-shirt in case anyone hasn't met me yet and needs to recognise us. Hooray!

Paul got the time off? Yay!

Good god, you all, I am SO SORRY for my drunken shennanigans last night. Club Sussed was GRATE. Getting thrown off the Oxford Tube in Hillingdon for being drunk and disorderly was not so grate. Managed not to get arrested through sheer charm. On Paul's part. SOOOO sorry, DG!

What the fuck happened???

Post the full story, and NOW!

are you banned from the Oxford Tube? Will DG ever speak to you again? I bet you're glad you're going out with a solicitor!

GOODGRIEF.

I would've liked to have been there but couldn't be, for much the same reason as why I couldn't be at the last one and why I haven't been to any gigs or record fairs or indie clubs or anything else fun or interesting since ATP. (Wah, withdrawal symptoms.) Perhaps next time...

I should really learn to drive, I guess, since right now the 20 miles to Oxford / 12 miles to the nearest record shop might as well be 20 light years for all the possibility there is of getting there outside bus times. Still, at least I can bus to the shops and back on a Saturday; better than a lot of places round here. (Do not be fooled by the cover of XTC's "An English Settlement" into thinking that living in the SW corner of Oxon might be cool. It's resolutely dud, with absolutely nothing at all of interest apart from said weirdly- shaped chalk horse which might not even be a horse, and feels even more dud for the fact that I should have escaped by now and nearly did but not quite.)

So. What happened? What did I miss? Was there an erection section? What happened on the Oxford Tube? Did you see the elusive A&G cat? Etc.

Of course I'll speak to Kate again, it's not like I had to get up for work this morning and was delayed etc. Mind you I'd speak to Kate again anyway if that had happened. I won't post what did happen because that's Kate's decision to spill the beans, not mine.

Errrrmmmmm... best not to get into it. The toilets weren't working. I got into a bit of air rage with the driver. We shan't discuss it further. It was a bit too rock'n'roll, even for me.

However, I think I have been banned from Riding The Red Bus. In the future I will have to use the blue bus, which doesn't even pretend to have toilets in the first place. This terribly state of affairs has resulted in the fact that to get to Radiohead tomorrow, I am going to have to ride down on the EMI coach with the liggers and the record company a***holes.

Oh, did I mention? Someone gave us tickets for Radiohead tomorrow. Regrets to Sarah and the Brixton picnic, but you know... Thom Yorke is excessively good looking and all.

Thom Yorke is excessively good looking and all.

Ever since it was mentioned that Radiohead will be on South Park, all I can imagine is Thom Yorke sitting down somewhere, able only to utter the word: "Thommy!".

Wah! That exact episode of South Park is airing for the first time on UK TV as I type.

Apparently Club Lat are letting us have a third (THE FOOLS) - I'll leave DJ Carsmile to provide details cos I don't have any. I will try and get less drunk next time and play more sensible tunes. It will of course be AWESOME.

Kate: Oops, that sounded very rude and nosy. Sorry. All semblance of manners and tact was abandoned in the sheer JOY of realising that it was hometime on a Friday. Plus I'm so used to people taking my five- hour "don't feel compelled to answer if you don't want to and I'm being too nosy" disclaimers as read and finding them intensely annoying that I forgot that they might still be needed with people I don't know. Sorry. And it was a stream of not entirely serious questions, i.e. I wasn't really expecting a full update on pub cat sightings.

I'd be surprised if they could manage to ban people when they don't ever seem to ask for ID or anything. Maybe it's just that they don't ever ask me for student ID because, since I'm approximately three inches tall, look about 6 years old, wear the world's sloppiest clothes, and look like I only just got up at 4pm and would generally not get up until hours later, it's fairly obvious that I'm not too old for studentdom. But I should probably stop this before I end up looking rude again, if I haven't already. Er. Yes. Sorry.

Carsmile, is it too much to ask to have the next one, say, on the 26th of this month? One can but try.
