DECEMBER
December 7th: Dear Diary I have just interviewed the US BOMBS at Dudley JB's and found 'em alright, even though I was warned by Chrissie Yiannou (their press agent) that they were loonies!...Hey Chrissie glad they've joined the club!!! They maybe Americans but who cares coz I don't, and we seemed to get on sound. It was a great help having the use of a microcassette recorder to capture the banter coz it enabled me to just sit back and relax swigging a can of Red Stripe while Kerry their guitarist told me porkies (if Dick Vein is to be believed). I dunno how I managed all this time with postal interviews, when a one to one confrontation gives a lot better results. Well you read it for yourself on the US Bombs page somewhere else on this site. I ain't even done that page yet! Oh yeah and AGNOSTIC FRONT were a sound bunch of geezers as well!
Mid December: Thank fuck for that!!!....FOR WHAT? Your probably wondering. Well I finally get the hang of transferring images to this website. It's fucking easy when you know how!!! Cheers to Paul Marko of 'Nasty Nasty' website for some good tips. I'm scanning in images like a man possessed at the moment. Ain't had much mail in over Christmas, but I've just posted out about 25 copies of my Spunk! newsletter which should get some amusing responces. Had a 5-day debate with those Fracture eejits on what punk is all about! Must admit they didn't surprise me at all in their replies. I now know they are a pale imitation so I'll move onto to the real business and wipe my hands of em.
Late December: Millenium fever is kicking in hard now. What a fucking con it is!!! And I've just recovered from a heavy bout of food poisoning, although the Christmas session in Wolverhampton on Christmas Eve certainly had nothing to do with it!!! I'm now well and truly skint, unless I raid my internet phone stash [ha ha ha]. Just heard off Rebecca of Punk And Oi! In The UK website that I'm one of the lucky winners of their Satellite book competition. Fackin' great stuff!!!! First thing I've won since I got a tenner on a football card a decade ago!!!
