Does anyone not like Pringles?
Certainly not Nick Faldo.
Walkers?
I’ll watch most football but I’d draw the line at going to Leicester, Notts or Derby. I couldn’t give my money to or be surrounded by fans of any club whose fans hate us.
Notts I've been to many times, more than my notts supporting family have been to forest. Leicester I've been to a few times, but only to watch forest play them...the last time was our first time in their crispy bowl. The upper tier of the stand bounced. Not for me. Never again. I had never paid to go to, or been to, any game at derby...until a football friend played there for forest ladies...for which I broke my duck. Never again.
I totally get the point. You pay your money, and invest in the opportunity to be in the crowd, for the 'excitement' of being in 'that crowd'. I'm just not sure that I want to invest in the forest crowd, any more than the other crowds, right now.
The then Mademoiselle Seán and I once accidentally blagged our way into Shame Park shortly after they'd played Leed after a timing faux pas getting to the arena for a Bluetones / Happy Mondays gig. Mademoiselle Seán employed her considerable Gallic wiles to gain entry to use the ladies facilities as matter of some urgency.
I'm not sure how any of this happened but we then somehow found ourselves inexplicably rubbing shoulders with Schteve McClaren and Johnny Russell et al in the players lounge before you could say 'shaggers'.
True story.
I really like Bluetones. Around 2001 a friend and I managed to get into the after gig drinks in the Sheffield Uni union and she had a a snog with one of them in the toilets. I made awkward conversation in the bar. We promised we'd come to the Manc gig the following night and they put us on the guest list, but we never did.
I've seen them and Mark Morriss more times than I can remember. I believe Jüânfrân is / was something of a fan. And Noodle (I think it was he who went by the moniker Fountainhead after a song of thiers, in days of yore, but I might be wrong).
Anyway all those allegations of domestic violence and all round narcissistic unpleasantness really rather put paid to that.
Bizarrely I was looking at Mark Morriss’s live dates earlier today. He’s playing Sheffield next month. Tempted to splash out £20.
Yes, was a fan from the start. Only saw them the once, I think.. had tickets for them playing all of the first album but the gig got Covid-fucked and by the time it was rearranged Morris had had his ‘Me Too’ moment so I decided to get my money back.
I keep reading Mark Morriss and getting Return of the Mack in my head.
Yes you do, yes you do do do
He's a wrong un an'all. Allegedly. And from Lei***ter. Double whammy.
I forget who it was, but I believe it was someone from this board who had a fun story from school/college that involved a piece of graffiti about Mr. Morrison’s biggest hit.
I'm sure he'll get over it though.
