Well there isn’t really is there but hey super-guitar-heroes such as Ice have to try to fit in with the mundane.

The seaside tour went well, we played well, broke poor Guy’s fingers - he was healthy until we got our icy mitts on him - and then made him play again with his stumps. We met some good people, made new friends, heard a dreadful support band - indie dirge played badly by a group of slipper gazers - and managed to avoids the cunning plan to make us see the Blackpool illuminations. Quite why going to see a whole bunch of light bulbs twisted into shapes which resemble nothing funny is beyond me, I mean penis shaped vegetables, well cool, a horse and carriage crafted from light bulbs just HOW BORING IS THAT. Saw a whole bunch of kids in the M55 going home and they were all asleep, what more can you say, deadly!

Anyway gonna sign off - this is but a quickie - but we’re gonna be on TV - some details to follow when we can be bothered copying the details from the email - and the thirsty drumming monkey has gotten a video camera so pretty soon you’ll be able to enjoy watching us driving to gigs. We have had to censor some of the more trashy bits (ed: like Guy) but its a great chance to find out just how the hell we all fit, with the gear, in a small family saloon! Its also a chance to watch OMG and the Rock’n’Roll Teddy Bear acting like a right pair of publicity seeking tarts jumping in front of the camera at every opportunity and pestering our very own Jack Cardiff with a constant chorus of “have you turned it on yet?”. Sharleen Spittoon you have no idea how wrong you were :-)
