It's worse for carrots
Soundtrack: Soon by My Bloody ValentineI was out last night with my old pal Copenhagen Paul and his friend The Lovely Monique. Don't be fooled, reader, Paul isn't Danish - he's from the Wirral. We met in said capital city of Denmark, and so that is how he has become known to me. [There are lots of Pauls about, and as such, there's always a need to differentiate between them.]
We hadn't been out for an evening in over a year and a half, which is fairly poor, but no matter - we snapped back into conversation as smoothly as if we'd seen each other last week.
Some of the topics that were covered, in no particular order:
Novelty records of the 1970s (incl. Captain Beaky and The Floral Dance)
Badgers - the title of this post relates to these pests, but I can't be bothered to explain
The game 'Sock', as invented by the band The Teardrop Explodes
Metal Machine Music, and the possibility of playing this out of a mobile on a bus
The Mighty Boosh - 'I've got to turn my back on you now'
A Hawk and a Hacksaw
Quadruple CDs of jazz-funk workouts
The pointlessness of Michael Stipe
Richard O'Sullivan starring in a dramatisation of Dick Turpin's life - again in the 1970s
How mediocre The Libertines were
Look-In magazine, including the photo stories
As an added bonus, pub we met in had a black cat prowling about the place, who made herself at home with us for most of the evening. Purrrfect.
