Pity its not Thomas im due to see , never managed that , did try to see him in London (think it was the year of Aliens release ) - but employers wouldnt let me have the time off -- Boo we all cry. I was thinking the other day - if Thomas is working on new material ?? id love it if he got together with his old chums like Kevin Armstrong, Matthew Seligman, Bruce Woolley & Lene Lovich for old times sake - & if they did any gigs it would be great as I love them all - so 5 heroes all in one go - oh to dream. Finally , went to watch a football match last weekend - Fleetwood Town FC versus Ramsbottom United - (think i remember someone commenting on alloy re ramsbottom in the past ) - well the afternoon was made more interesting via the visit of a friends relative from Milwauke (sorry dont know how its spelt)in the US - who was determined to call it Soccer - (not a popular thing to do in the UK), he new nothing of the game , so we had a great afternoon trying to explain the rules - - but he seemed to enjoy himself, we even introduced him to the delights of pints of beer , & pies with gravy - . I did let him know that he wasnt to worry about not understanding the rules - when they tried to start an American Football league over here - I went to see a couple of games by the Fylde Falcons -- well myself & approx 500 other people just watched in amazement wondering what on earth was going on - for a start both teams seemed to consist of approx 50 players which kept alternating.Sorry but im sticking to soccer - oops Football. Ps my favourite song of this month - Only Babies Can Fly by Bruce Woolley (featuring Thomas). Paul (Blackpool). ------------------------------ End of alloy-digest V8 #194 ***************************
