Sixtyseconds

Top venue that. An amp of stand. Brilliant to now. And some may never get that. Bristol Sport won't. Not that good back in the day alone .. Good clobber mind. No choice but move. Rubble was behind the goal. Tiny v the Eastend. No amp. Then the Atyeo that was never a draw v the Eastend for the right sorts. Christ. The progress that proper chaps wanted to avoid. An embarrassment to lad culture.

Bit woke. Culturally misappropriating working class culture. Too much stood outside a highrise trying to act like a gangsta Still quite like them.

Try rolling post run Tom. It works. May not solve it But rolling does ease aches.

Fanzines .. Dunno about a Vice Squad fanzine. Their ex drummer use to be involved in Everlong a Bristol (?) fanzine. Some are on line.

Paradise garage. Ran by Richard. No health and safety there. Dick liked stacking things. Heavy boxes of shoes stacked really high. Heavy shoes with gurt soles on them. Turn round with your arms not tucked into your sides it caused an avalanche of creepers.

Anybody see the Skids at the Locarno? Strange incident with the support band. Called the Edge. Can't remember what they played or what it was. But remember that gobbing was a sport. And the Edge were the target. Couple of songs in off stormed the lead guitarist after a series of direct hits. Then the bassist. The singer and drummer were made of stronger stuff and using one of the symbols as a gob shield the singer completed their set of only drums and vocals behind the shoulders of the drummer. Saw Killing Joke in Baff Pavilion supported by Aztec Camera .. The crowd were about as warm to Aztec Camera as somebody taking a dump on yer carpet ..

Saw the Damned at the Locarno. On tour with the Ruts. And the Vice Squad. Cost £1.75 to get in. My young self didn't know it but I could have stopped there. As gigs went that was as good as it ever got.

When you are young you want to see how far you can push things. How extreme and mad can we be. Things went too far that day. Know a few now regret it. Had a mate who got eighteen months in the big house for the Reading game. Wasn't a bad lad and it made a mess of his life.

Don't know if the Baff half is big. But ran that. Few years back though. Aimed for sub 1.30. Could have done it. Started close to the Runners world sub 1.30 pacemakers. And at the start .. Well the pacemakers disappeared and I was surrounded by a close knit shuffle. The shuffle lasted a mile. Then it was a jog. Didn't even pant or sweat for three miles. And then I could start running. Finished in 1.34.

A proper serious runner has their nipples removed surgically. Please tell us how you get on. You will find they toughen up after lots of running … Seriously. Try breathable tops and avoid cotton. Glide works …

I once set the running machine at 21km just to see how fast it went.

Sorry but Beki Bondage sounds like Courtney Love inhaling helium now.

Clash were real punks. So bored with the USA they buggered off to America during the Miners strike and only did one benefit gig near its end. Compare that to Crass.

Yes chief. Was a teen and saw the Clash and the post City Gas dust up … That in 2019 would be front page it was full scale. And the Damned and the post City Gas dust up. Crass new Trinity was the gig. Yes there was a dust up but pre gig v the British movement. That small gig changed Punk in Bristol and its politics. For some anyway. Do you remember gangs of Punk Rockers congregating outside the Virgin Records shop? Yes twas also the eighties. Thrash and anarcho of the eighties could be Bristols punk heyday Chaos UK, Disorder, Lunatic Fringe, Amebix in squats around St Pauls and the Vice Squad but the not the Vice Squad of now. We had kicks todays kids can never know … Can smoke, cant squat, drink is expensive, can't protest like the eighties and can't dive off the stage if I could muster enough energy to climb on one. Is there still a Punk Scene in Bristol? Yes. Check the exchange. Check St Nicks covered market. Easton Pubs. Its not as big, numerous and spiky and has a lot less hair but is still there.

A young team. Too young to be hanging around looking at the Veteran Crew who had made the trip up.

PNE's Mob had some ridiculous numbers 13, 14, 15 ..

BS3 kids football team were flag waving in front of the Atyeo. Six and seven year olds YOU BCFC have let down.

Deserve what? Birching? Branding? Ducking stools? Some of them? All of them? As retrospective LIFE bans are being handed out to the wrong sorts for virtually sweet fa how about CRB checking all the fans, employees and players to check they are made of the right stuff to enter this virtuous paragon FC's gaff on Saturdays??

People get banned without conviction from Ashton Gate. People get banned without thuggi thuggery happening. With respect all the escalators are not reaching all your floors.

Madam, sir, baby, child, whatever. Peoples family and mates are getting life bans for NOT being violent.

Police must think this is all a right touch. They get to put on their best panto Darth Vader kit for the cameras and the public pay for it. Might as well hold up signs saying Hello Mum.

So why choose bog roll on the arms?
