More of a statement than a question

[clattymanky]

I've been reading some of the threads and comments and also having a chuckle.

I was at the show in Toronto on Saturday night.
I left feeling like the little 12 year old girl when she got her first Specials album at Christmas (still have the photo of that).

Are they old, are they f*&k.

I'm still reeling and my heart is still racing. I was lucky to work my way up to front and centre, all my pics turned out a little fuzzy, but I got a few shots of Roddy.

Roddy, you were amazing, full of energy and I was best pleased when your shirt came off. I may just have pee'd a little with excitement, but I was so sweaty, I couldn't tell.

I had the ten kinds of sh#te knocked out of me the entire time I was at the show, but I was not giving up that spot and would do it all again tomorrow. Terry even chucked me his bottle of water.

Best show I've seen in years and would give any young band out there a run for their money.

Musically & vocally sound, energy level and performance high.

I'm thinking I need to keep an eye on Skabilly's schedule and plan a trip back to Britain to see it.

That or you get yer ar$es over to Toronto and save me the plane fare.

I think you could safely say, you lot could fill a venue once a year until you retire.

Roddy my hat is off to you. And I hope it's not the last time I see you performing.

Ive done worse than pee a little on stage but that was in another time ,n, a differant world...

[clattymanky]

okay really glad that didn't happen, would not have been pretty, and such a lovely suit, wouldn't have been good to ruin it.

I was wearing leather trousers at the time, playin with Bonediggers in Aston under Lyme @ the Witchwood - dont have take out currys in strange towns grasshopper..

[clattymanky]

Please tell me they were lined, hahahaha.
So it would seem you had Hong Kong Phoeyty troosers and a burning ring of fire to deal with afterwards.
I think most of us have one of those tails buried in the back of our minds.
I'm sure mine had to do with the giant glass of grappa consumed at the end of a wonderful Italian meal.
Note to self, wear depends when eating out of town curry

[clattymanky]

okay I'm doing a preview before posting, apparently Sh&tty equates to Kong Hong Phoeyty hahahaha
I'd love to see how a very angry swearing rant would be softened for gentle reader ears

[roddy byers]

Yes they were lined but i had to throw my shorts away afterwards..

Now I don't know if it's an Irish thing or just my particular friend, but she always has the best tales when it comes to odd topics.
She has the best shat myself story on the planet.
Poor woman, she once told me she went home to Dublin for a holiday and the neighbour came out the kitchen with two frozen sausages in his whisky, she asked what the f*&k, he said you were out of ice cubes

[roddy byers]

?

[clattymanky]

sorry I guess I lost you with that one

[Hugh]

Frozen sausages for ice cubes? You might have something there.

[clattymanky]

yeah it's called botulism.
I was peeing my pants laughing when she told me.
I guess it works in a pinch and at least it wasn't black pudding
