Best Performance By A Guy With A Delay Pedal
- David Pajo opening for Labradford at TBMC

Best Cover Version
- Pajo again, doing an acoustic version of "The Last Caress" at The Shelter. He transformed it from a cheap teen shocker into a sombre, erotic paean to death. Gave me nausea for days.

Best Club

Best Film
- Songs From the Second Floor

Best Race
- The human

I'd just like to thank all you guys and gals for existing. <SNIFF> Christ, I'm turning into Gwyneth Paltrow. (Can only be an improvement, I know, I know.)

my top stuff of this year:

top fall of 2001:
the one on city quay where the spike heel of my right boot got caught in the turn up on my left trouser leg resulting in my legs being bound together and me sliding a good 6 ft along the wet ground on my face. a special mention must go to the fact that i continued a mobile phone conversation throughout all this.

Top Vom of 2001:
the one in playa del ingles (!) where i was ralphing *continously* and brought my pillow into the bathroom where i rested my head on the side of the bath and puked / slept to my hearts content.

Top Axl Rose impression of 2001:
whelans. lock in. hands down.

Top general knacker behaviour of 2001:
the one, where after breaking *two* corkscrews attempting to open a bottle of wine, i smashed the top of the bottle off a wall, sieved the contents into a jug through a tea towel (dirty) and drank it.
mmmm....ruptured intestines.....

 

[Dan]

I smashed the top of a bottle of wine off a gate once and drank it there and then from the bottle. Now that was dumb..Huh? I was waiting to shit glass for days!!

Anyhue, back to the tops of everything..

5. The Second Coming.

6. Osama Bin Laden getting number one in the American Billboard chart.

Look what path said on ie-indie:

"Thanks for being positive with the replies. Thumped.com is a nasty
place"

If I was Pete I'd be outraged!

nd invisible suits eh? A friend wanted to by some buttons or something so we were in a habidashery shop and they had a rack of zips. Now apparently there are these zips that have pieces of fabric sewn on them to hide the zip from view and they call them invisible zips. The shop had none left so there was a row of (seemingly) empty hooks with a sign that said "invisible zips. And I was quite amused

I gave up being internet-outraged. it's pretty pointless.

Anyway my reply on ie-indie was moderated out.
