Hi Guys, saw you in the Croissant Neuf stage at Glasto and you were awesome, great and quite emotional performance. One of the best we saw. Paul O' the Delta
I know I'm like a deranged psychiatric ward escapee ranting away here- sorry! Not even handcuffs would halt these rant-a-holic fingers from hitting these keys! :-o
You know a portaloo is v.bad when you see the people open the door&then close it quicker than a horny George Michael looking for a public men's toilet. The look on their faces is a sight 2 behold.
I hope u have a ball in GLASTONBURY!! Think of all the people you'll meet&all the cool little stalls! No matter where you fellas play, people love ya! U bring a lot of optimism&joy into people's lives. Not that I'm generally a gloomy, miserable rain cloud of a person but, as those geniuses of Tesco tell us, "Every Little Helps"! I'm still bopping along 2 your latest album here @ home. It's as if you're right here, the energy is so immediate and accessible.
UP THE F*CKING PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF NIZLOPI!!!!!! NO to the Lisbon Treaty, but YES TO THE NIZLOPI TREATY!! :-o
