Not at all, just wouldn't have thought it was possible. Why spoons? Why not all cutlery? What's so bad about spoons?

no...actually it is all cutlery... i have seen ben get quite aggressive because someone was moving their knives and forks around too much...it's the clanging noise that does it i think... he gets in a sweat

Hahaha!! Aww! How strange!

indeed... i would encourage evryone to bring spoons to the next rash gig... see what occurs

wowaweewa!!!! 'twas a rashing night indeed... everyone was bloody fantastic... personal fave was shychlo and the boys...can't big them up enough really...they were like, well tight and that...if the crowd had picked up from the offset they would have walked it for sure.... impressed by the thumb's new guitarist julien... rather funky and french and actually a nice bloke.... some nifty dancing there from the boys too.... The most marked improvement goes to what the hell!!! they have certainly picked their game up since i last saw them...so well done lads..... Loud howlers were pretty darned cool too.... their guitarist gave me his last marlboro light...so nuff respect to him... i don't actually smoke...but loved it either way...so they were all lovely guys.... the dude out of whiskey mystics was also rather cool and energetic..... caught him washing the gallons of sweat off in the gents afterwards....... Matt from The Sketch was lovely with his lovely spikey hair... jo from the forum was lovely with her lovely ginger hair...Ben wasa aaaaaarrrrrrrggghhhhhhhhing everyone...so it was great...... And the star of the show was of course our lovely manager Sue...who looked decidedly merry throughout oh..and the t-shirts are immense

Morning all!

Thank you to everyone that came last night, hope you all feel as totally knackered as I do we all had a wicked time and hope you did too!!
The evening was a resounding success!
