Saw them at secc when they were supporting Status Quo, decent guys who were obviously still enjoying what they were doing.
Remember playing darts against a team in Aberdeen (possibly the Frigate) and they played Chas & Dave songs on the juke box all night ****ing long. **** that was annoying. (We beat them) :)
It could have been worse. It could have been the Stone RosesQuote:

Maybe Cockney but I saw them twice at The Lemon Tree (circa 2004) and Drummonds a couple of years later. The Lemon Tree night was enjoyable, Drummonds less so...Quote:

If possible, listen without prejudice.
Aye, but bass is the easy one to play :P
Seriously, it would be unfair to judge him on Snooker Loopy alone. Still never got round to watching Telstar which is remiss of me.
