If I make a post will there be a flamewar about turbans and motorcycles and cake eating hoes?

Ha, and somehow Google knows to call me "Some old pisshead" on here. Fantastic.

Maybe. There have been instances of resurrected 15-year old threads
recently :)

I still meet people who thought WD and Hester were real people. It was,
as we now all know, a piece of romance performance art transposed to a
non-traditional medium.

!!!

Wasn't Hester the artist also known as sushidog in LJ?

And I've met her in person, although not on LJ. So she might be real.
There is a WD in uk.comp.sys.mac that gets involved in peculiar polemics
and whose ... literary style reminds me of 'our' WD. Maybe it is a case
of the same model of Cylon, then.

Hester is both the name of the actor and the character she played.
Sushidog was always a bit too avant garde for my tastes, being based
upon the existential struggle of an inflatable dog unable to fulfil his
love of sushi. :(

The world is a strange place. Talking of avant-garde, it seems like Yoko
Ono will be performing with the POB. I would like to see that but
probably won't (web ticket buying narrow time windows, etc). Ok, OT as
not goth at all but I have a soft spot for the old lady.

If you like.

Somewhere I have a photo of Mr Sturrock wearing an enormous turban.

This is the second time ever I've been without a Spa ticket, but the
lineup was _so_ "meh" this time, I couldn't be bothered.

Not he -in all the years I went to Whitby I never managed to be able to
stay the Monday for the Maffball (sp?).

It's a word more often said than spelled, but that's how the youtube
videos spell it.

Legend has it that it takes its name from an individual yclept "Maff"
among his kin. The "ball" is actually the misnomer.

I realised that in all the years I'd been going to the Spa I'd never
actually seen a band. I just like drinking until later, and wholesale is
cheaper than retail.

Some interesting choices though I wonder if it's becoming a slightly
darker stop on the nostalgia tours.

Probably. Then phildo will pop up.

Then and there'll be some long rambling titillation terminated by "get a room".

Then something about gravy and old Volvos.

I'm wondering if you'll ever hear this.
