Mine is a character from my favourite Bruce Springsteen song"Incident on 57th Street", In the past i've been, West Melton Red, Wathman and something I cant remember in the very early days.......My real name is Tony.
We should probably meet up pre match some time I bore people to death about beer as well, as my Twitter account will prove. Be a challenge to see who gets bored first!
Mine is from the book....The wondering Taoist.. Spider..in full. A spider is a perfect creature of Tao. Its body is an elegant expression of its mind. It spins beautiful threads. and its legs are exactly suited to create and walk its web. From its centre, a spider radiates its world out with a spare economy. A spiders posture in regards to Tao is to set up a pattern. Its mind determines this pattern. It realises the flow of Tao and does nothing to interfere with it. It simply creates its pattern and waits for Tao to bring it sustenance. That which comes to it, it excepts. That which does not come to it is not its concern. Once its web is established, a spider does not think of expanding unnaturally. It does not make war upon its neighbors, it does not go for adventures in other country's, it does not try to fly to the moon, it does not build factories, it does not try to enslave others, it does not try to be intellectual. It is simply who it is and is content with that...
Dunno how I came to be Barnsley Chopin, in that I'm not from Tarn and I don't particularly have a taste for Chopin. I guess I was listening to this at the time.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrRPQqvwjFE and spelt it wrong.
I was Johnny Coachman but changed it to Manlito after being stalked, and some nasty accusations made by muppets who will get a slap if I ever come across them again. Manlito is the first 3 letters of my surname and is supposed to be whan I would be called if I was a Brazilian footballer. It roughly translates to Little Man.
I haven't broken the bank for him - if wilko has the decency to put on shows for £12 (at sheffield) then I'm not gonna line the pocket of a tout - even if their advert on ebay or wherever says a donation will be made to a cancer charity - i've never paid over the odds for any ticket music football or whatever. I saw wilko & his band at a sparsely attended gig at birdwell not so long ago - mesmerised me with his technique - the guy is up there with clapton & richards imo Read the Dr Feelgood book years ago - it struck a chord with me (pardon the pun) that the canvey islanders attitude was us against the world - much like the red & the rest of the footballing fraternity.
Nice to see there's a least one other person in tarn who likes Dinosaur Jr. Although from knowing a bit about mr.c's tastes there might be 3...
And another mate, i absolutely love em. Was meant to be going to the Leeds gig the other day but had to work last minute. Was gutted.
Blummin uvver - never knew there were so many Rnb fans on here........ wilko has been so eloquent recently and his spirit in the face of adversity is so........well refreshing does not do him justice..... And I haven't got a ticket for any of his shows.....spitting feathers ...cos saw him in birdwell not so long ago - not sold out by a long way...... But on the bright side...........................YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU REDSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Oh yes! Had the massive pleasure of sharing a bill with them in Germany, many years ago. I have just been catching up on their more recent stuff. Farm is a great record, and monsterously produced.
When i registered i couldn't think of a name, and i was listening to Punk band 'The Offspring' at the time so just went with that. Crap really, want to change it but can't decide on a new name.
You're the bugger above me in the BBS fantasy league!! Been trying to catch you for months but the gap only gets bigger!!
After Ernest Gimson and his two mates Ernest and Sidney - people I've a huge amount of respect for. I used to be Ali Millars Beautician on the old BBS in deference to Brian Mahoneys Waist.
