I comend you for calling your cat "smokey bee on the MIC". It's a catchy name. Cats liking smokey bacon crisps is usually the result of sexual trauma suffered in early life. It is not "statistcally significant". | ||

Message: | 'Owen will be so pleased to know that he's the less attractive one.' Well not really, the obvious subtext of this post is that the 'Good looking one' (so called ) is really a talentless clothes horse whos superficial gloss is a mere veneer under which lies a sad and shallow life filled with a burning envy of those able to impress the general populace and in particular girls by playing the banjo and harmonica at the same time, even while rippling their arms honed to an acme of tatooed atractivness by years of honest sweat and toil, unlike the pale effete arms sported by such academic psudo-intelectual personages, who will in any case, be shot on sight after the revolution of the proletariat has established a workers state which will not tolerate these parasitic barnicles who at present cling to the sinking ship of state. No I won't be pleased to know that I am the less atractive one because that is not what this poster meant at all I will have you know Mr. (so called) Cheesey bits. Badgers DIE IN VAIN to enshure that cows packed into hideously unhygenic barns never the less don't get tuberculosis so DON'T TALK TO ME ABOUT CHEESE! | |
I beg to differ. I think that when Mr Knight said, "Pity the good-looking one doesn't have tattoos as well", he was by implication suggesting that Mr Lee the "one with the tattoos" was in some way less attractive than "the one without the tattoos". Further more he takes this stance despite obviously being a fan of the tattooorisers art (I think that's the proper term). He does not, after all, say, "Pity the one that looks like a monkey has got all those tattoos", does he? By the way, did you know that Stilton cheese was actually made in Melton Mowbray some 31 miles north-west of Stilton? | ||

Message: | Both you, Mr. Bits and, you, Some Impartial Observer, have missed the point. Revenge of the Lawn agree with you wholeheartedly that "drugs ... will be the death of society." And, as part of our two week long Worldwide Anti-Drugs Campaign(WAC), we hatched a cunning plan - to provide so small a poke to Drugs Barons, such as your good self, that only very very small tiny amounts of powder could be sold, thus gradually weaning people off drugs, as it just wouldn't be any fun taking drugs any more cos the hit would be so small so people would get pissed off with drugs and Drugs Barons, so they would turn away from harmful drugs and indulge in positive recreations and then they would be able to cure the common cold and cancer and eradicate famine and then there would be World Peace and everyone would be happy. But if you don't want Peace, Jollity and Contentment, then please feel free NOT to print out our solution to the world's ills. The WAC was set up with a European Union grant, which has also been used to finance the WAC Festival being held at High Park Tavern, Ryde on Friday 2nd October. There will be a meat raffle, music, juggling, magic, impressions, an erotic dancer, dancing boys and more. | |
Yeah... It's still a crap poster though. | ||

| Subject : ROTL's Last Gig Was The Dog's | ||
Message: | Can I just say that making a poster that transforms into a poke is not smart and not clever. Drugs, and therefore drug references, are never smart or clever. In fact drugs, and therefore drug references, will be the death of society. Further more I printed out your poster at the size you had it on your website and when I turned it into a poke it was so small it would have been impossible to get anything in it. So I clicked on "fit to page" and printed it out again. This time the poke was so big that it would quite happily hold several grammes of powder, which for most people renders it totally impractical. Fortunately I am an internationally renowned drugs baron so I filled it up with the finest crack cocaine and put it in my back pocket. Imagine my consternation when I went to peddle my evil powder outside a local primary school and found that the ink from the printing process had dyed my pixie dust a sick bile-green colour. The first-graders were outraged and threw their shoes at me. This is the gravest insult amongst my people, and I hold you and your band responsible. Watch out Revenge of the Lawn. Your days are numbered. Miss Pedro Garcia Smyth-Jenkins-Jones | |
I could not agree with you more over the offending poster. It incensed me so much that I was forced to make an alternative ( click here). I think you will agree that nobody could possibly be offended by the idea of a Zombie Duncan Goodhew raising himself up from the grave so that he can attend one of Revenge of the Lawn's excellent gigs! | ||

According to Rob's official biography "Been There, Done That, Ate the T-Shirt" it was Jimmy Sommerville he backed not Jimmy Saville. I mean, what would Jimmy Saville want with a young boy with a saw gripped between his thighs? | ||

Message: | I'm listening to that waltons radio interview. It's really depressing, it makes me think of problems we had in Mista Mushroom with not having a fucking van, and trying to do any bloody gigs without having to loose 250 quid. Living on the Isle of Wight is obviously always going to be shit for making any money from any creative venture unless you have obscenely rich parents. Wightlink should be publicly executed. They must be stopped. You should fill in the survey. They must be stopped. I may be about to get all 'Carrie' on their asses. Pass me the pig's blood. What I wouldn't do for a sniper rifle... | |
What Wight Link or Red Funnel should actually be doing is sponsoring island bands by giving them free travel to and from mainland gigs. If you think about it most of the time bands would be leaving in the middle of the day and returning after midnight so it would cost them bugger all. Is there anybody out there who can speak the language of Suit and would be able to present this as useful publicity? Think of the kudos they could earn if one of the bands they supported made it big? | ||

Owen Dread and I are now in Revenge of the Lawn and we've just started gigging again on the Island. The last time I saw Pete he was recording music and doing stop-frame animation when his health allowed. Sean has left the island after pissing off the entire population. Tony was DJing for a long time after the Waltons and then became the the subject of a vote on this site to decide what he should do next. Disappointingly the most voted for option was "The Mystery Option" so we never got to find out what he was going to do. The last few times I have met him he has been doing voluntry work with people with mental problems [which you could say is what he was doing in The Waltons any way]. | ||

Message: | This may be the wrong place to complain, but nobody else would even know what I am talking about so here goes. Why has The Waltons Annika video been removed from the internet? I watched Annika 1st time round and The Waltons sound stuck in my mind. But it was never repeated and I was thinking I imagined the whole thing. Then last year I found The Waltons on Youtube. Then from one link to another got hold of a copy of Annika from some bloke in Devon. So here I am banging on about how great The Waltons are to a mate whose band are doing their thing on the North Kent coast. I am trying to put into words how the rawness of what he is doing is so like the brilliance that was The Waltons. But the video has gone - why???? I know you music people can get funny about people praising your work, but when a scene from a TV series shown only once 25 years ago still has people talking about it, maybe you created something special. That video is a time capsul , a gem, true brilliance. Put it on the internet. Please. | |
Shtop! Shtop! You're embarrassing me. You are right though - this is the wrong place to complain. Like most of the material on You Tube that clip was nicked by someone from some one else and some one else probably got nasty about it. You could try emailing some one to see if he was told to remove it by the copyright Nazis but I suspect he has had a coplaint from some one. The problem is that we never owned any part of the film so have no say about it at all. | ||

Message: | That's my guitar you're holding I'm looking at it now. Yeah, this must be Looney Tunes (one of very very many gigs that I have absolutely no recollection of) and it's definitely at the Pavilion 'cos I recognise the ceiling. Strange that I should remember the ceiling but not the gig... or maybe it's not. | |
When I came down to the island in '82ish I got a lift off Jon Roath and some nipper in a big van full of wood. We naturally started talking about music and he asked me who I liked on the island. When I said Loony Tunes he said he thought that they were shit and then preceded to tell me the bands he liked all of which were covers bands. The argument then went along the normal lines of cover bands don't count etc. I had no idea he played in one. To his credit he didn't throw me out of the van (at least I have no memory of him doing that). The next time I saw him I was in Loony Tunes and he was supporting us! Ha Ha! Who's that bloke with the green hair I recognise him? | ||

Yeah I played with Looney Tunes. I think I only did two gigs though - one at Warners and one at the Pavilion - mind you for years I thought I'd only done one gig until Rob found that photo. | ||

You sent the wrong link you pill. Later - I give up! I can't find a picture of Looney Tunes anywhere. Even Later - Ah found it I think. Do you mean this one? If so I can't see drummers/bass player either but that doesn't mean they aren't there. You see it's possible that other things can exist outside of the frame of the photograph. | ||

I doubt if they are the same person, Marcus from (Midnight and the Lemon Boys) was just a kid when he started with Kemptown Rockers {I think that was the first band of the three} and the Vandells were born out of the Depressions weren't they, I thought they were much older. I'm not sure I ever saw the Vandells. But anyway Chris should know, he played with Marcus lots. The chinky comment was either: 1. A typo 2. A wind-up because he had a squint or something 3. He was genuinely part Chinese But ask Chris he was a really nice guy and I doubt if he has actually turned into a racist bastard in the intervening years - well no more than anyone else from Rotherham anyway. | ||

Yup. That's me. I remember you well, mostly for not living at Blatchington Rd but also in your role as general trouble maker at the college and yet strangly I have no recollection of ever seeing any of your art.

Blow me down too. Only the other day I was reading about you saving historic buildings in a dentists waiting room (no the historic building wasn't in the dentist's waiting room). Coincidentally it was you that took me to that Depressions/Flesh gig (see below) where I met Roundhill. And Max Dyson that was the guy that put on all the gigs at the college wasn't it, I'd forgotten all about him. You were my son's favourite author (until about the age of five) we've still got your tractor book somewhere.

Hey great to hear from you. I always wondered what happened to you. I'm shocked to hear you were going to offer your services as a manager - I would have been up for that (you couldn't possibly have been any worse than Dougie) - you shouldn't have been put off by a little friendly rioting. Strangely I was just talking about you the other day to some one. I don't suppose you remember turning up early one morning at Ravens Rd with lots of bizarre ingredients and proceeding to make us this great new drink you'd discovered, which turned out to be a Pina Colada? I remember meeting you for the first time at a Depressions/Flesh gig at the Vault. Was it you that sold me the DPs/Flesh Fanzine? Anyway, well done for being alive, and can I finally confess that I really fancied your girlfriend (unless of course she is now your wife in which case nothing could be further from the truth).

Message: | Dear Sir, Concerning your e-mail posting dated Thursday 01 Jan 2009, you should know by now that it's unlike me to allow any minor, unimportant, petty mistake to pass unhindered onto your pages without the most abject whinging from my person. Gross, crucial grammatical errors, I'm content to let sail by. And therefore, while we're on this subject, and in time-honoured tradition, I feel compelled to rise predictably and yet reluctantly to your bait and complain in the most vociferous terms about your most outrageous and deliberately infuriating misuse of the Great English Language's most venerable punctuational son, the apostrophe. In fact, I'm so furious ... angr ... grrr... ca''nt take's i't any ... quaf'f'f ... jibba ... bloff - bloff ... wheres' that k'nif ... I mean, I ask you, a fuckin' apostrophe after a turding, buggering s ?!!!!!! | |
When I said, "Please feel free to write in and complain about the incorrect use of the possessive apostrophe," what I actually meant was, "Please don't bother writing in and complaining about the incorrect use of the possessive apostrophe". (Please feel free to write in and complain about the lack of the infinitive after the use of the negative imperative). | ||

We were OK, weren't we? Give my licks to the old Cats when you see them. (I live in York now and have lost touch with them all - would love to hear from them, if the intervening 20+ years, kids, dogs, rabbits and failed marriages haven't deleted them). Jane (ex Cat) | |
Yes you were "OK" some would say "brilliant" (not me obviously). It's a crying shame that you were never recorded well. You always sounded best to me in Sarah's living room in Newport St. (the more intimate the better). The only Cat I see on a regular basis is Hills; I saw Barker Barker at the Bestival two years ago (with Dotti). I bump into Penny occasionally (and Claire) but haven't seen Jacquie since she was living in Brighton. Astonishingly I've just found the remains of another recording session on my 4-track. It's only 2 or 3 songs but includes a song that I'd completely forgotten about. Can you guess what it is (yet)? One day you're going to stop calling me David. | ||

Message: | Well you could have at least told me you'd done a bloody jingle. Instead I have my bi-annual nosey about "The House of Cheese" to find it buried in amongst the downloads from 6 months ago. I'll send it on to IOW Radio for use in our summer 2009 advertising campaign but I think they might have some issues with the orgasmic grunts at the beginning. As for the "rumour that the owner swings" lyric, all I can say is that the article published in the Ryde Beacon is wholely inaccurate and may be subject to litigation (and besides I think it was more likely that you were being lazy and couldn't think of a decent rhyme for "strings" or "precious things") . Anyway fair enough, if you'd like some more "free shit" I think I may have some outboardy studio crap I'd like to unload so you'll have to get your arse over to Ryde to collect (I think there is a jack patch bay and mmaybe a keyboard sound module). Bring some dodgy badges with you. Tata | |
To tell the truth I thought your lack of response was due to you being grossly offended by our inadequate ramblings - "The rumour is the owner swings" is of course a reference to your being an "alleged" bass player (I've never seen you play) - Rob told me that you knew about the jingle.
