I've just been giggling in bed for about 5 mins with mrs t casting me strange glances. It's not worth explaining.

Was this something to do with GPH? I remember him lodging at DT's and them having a comedy scuffle in the Foundry car park.

:lol: too true though ;)
Very funny Ian & Graeme but I can swear down that I never owned a gritstone dildo, honest :worms:

That was me who did that, in Glen Rd.
-
Was it Luce that managed less than a week in DTs house before moving out because he was doing his head in?
Shortest tenancy in history :lol:

I don't think Dave was ever really cut out to be a landlord tbh....but to be fair, I do have some great memories from living in that house :dance1:

No Niall, it was before your time. Maybe it was a repeat.

What! That's interesting.
-
What! That's interesting.
That it only happened to him twice??
-
That we know of.
-
Grimer you've definitely told me this story years ago, one of my faves, along with the hovering the living room ceiling if I recall correctly???
-
Correct, although it was the front bedroon ceiling. :)

I've just remembered.... it wasn't DT's house it was the queer Dwarf.....
-
That makes more sense.
-
None of this story makes sense .......
-
Who the fuck was the queer dwarf?
-
Not the same person as the bald elf.
-
for those of us not in the know and being amused at the titbits of information on this thread, could anyone tell an amusing story or two from what sounds like a very funny time?
-
:agree:

Can we start with "the tale of the dwarf and the dildo"??
:popcorn:
-
Ok I'll start....
Once upon a time there was a famous climber from Wales.
In his heyday he was strong,dark and handsome....when he arrived in Sheffield he was weak, dark and fat!
He tried in vain to join are cliche but was not strong enough, so in turn tried to gain are attention with old stories of great slate epics, which we ignored.
The main reason for our rebuff was the fact he was short, possibly a dwarf and we suspected he was a bender :w00t:
One day on visiting a friend who was lodging with said bender, we happened upon this great phallic dildo carved from the sacred gritstone.
And so the legend of the queer dwarf began..........
-
Homophobic prick, fuck off
-
No excuse for homophobia .......
No excuse for illiteracy ......
are=our
cliche=cliché= clique ......
Now fuck off ........
-
Are you a fucking teacher or what, anyway the point of the story is it was way back in the 90's, probably before you were born and when gay bashing was an okay thing to do.
These days i have many good friends who are gay, and constantly try and turn me to the dark side, ouch!! anyway what about dwarf hatred, you didn't mention that clever dick..... oh and by the way i do suffer from dyslexia.
So i anyone else wants to hear some more stories from the golden era of sheffield climbing... great if not i'll be in the broadie on thursday night....
-
I do, we're running a bit short of dwarf stories around here.
-

Carry on arguing about homophobia, but from the "Forum ban / acceptable use policy - please read." thread...
Anything Else?
Don't resort to critcising people's grammar or spelling when arguing/debating - firstly it's rather scraping the insults barrel; secondly people often type to forums quickly whilst at work, etc; and lastly some people may be dyslexic.
-

No it wasn't.
-
I can't imagine your gay friends appreciate been called benders? I am not but I don't like the term and find it offensive so please don’t use that term here.
-

Wad point if that was deliberate.
-
I thought my comment had gone over everyone's heads
-
There are a lot of tall stories going around.

interesting to see cuboard conforming to the "loud mouthed southern cunt" stereotype
I should point out that I myself am from Essex and many of my friends are cunts - some of whom are actually a bit gobby. I think this makes it clear that I have a god given right to offend and oppress people via the interweb.
-
the interweb.
I know we aren't supposed to criticise grammar etc BUT!
"t'interweb", surely?
(disclaimer, I am a teacher).
Seriously though Andy, homophobic language doesn't make you look cool.

When you're all done beating up on the dyslexic homophobic kid, can we have some more Sheffield '90s stories?
+1
It's been mildly entertaining but the facts are we have one bitty homophobic half story. Encore s'il vous plait...
-
no bendy people of different stature here
in fact no drinking or shagging either
probably not very interesting, but if it gets attention away from Coishie then it's worth saying
told to me by Shaun Hutson (may be late 80s rather than 90s) - I have not checked with the other participants for verification of the facts
Shaun (Hutson) and Andy (Cave) are at the bus stop on Eccy Road with ropes etc - waiting for the Hathersage bus.
A blond lad wearing glasses and also carrying ropes etc approaches them and says in his enthusiastic definitely-not-from-the-north voice "Hi! I'm Dave. I'm a rockstar from Devon."
Shaun and Andy look at each other not quite knowing how to react to such an introduction. Shaun manages to keep a straight face whilst replying "well, I'm a rockstar from Grimsby and he's a rockstar from Barnsley".
Thus Dave Thomas made his entrance into the Sheffield Scene
-
cuboard could always try to make the bullies laugh by giving us an account of the night he ended up in A&E painted green (not the 90s)
-
The "tale of the salty sperm and the powerful climber" is quite a good one. I think Dave Pegg was the weakling with the unsalty variety, not 100% who the other participants in the research were.
-
Two of my best friends in London, John and Dennis are gay, but don't like the term "Gay" and find Bender quite affectionate. I'm sorry i offended some straight guys out there with my language and i will refer to said people as Bendy people from now on.
Obviously gay, sorry bendy bashing in the 90's as being ok, was a joke! and i realise that making jokes about minority sections of society is unacceptable, unless your a stand up comedian.
Lagerfish.... I expected some more banter from you, i'm actually from the other side of London where the word cunts is a term of endearment and dwarf hunting is most fashionable.....
Um.... lets try again
Once upon a time there was a young stud from scotland who arrived across the border into Sheffield, he went by the name of Stuart. He fancied himself as an equal to the likes of Ben, Jerry,and Shaun and sure enough he was. Legendary feat of strength... locking the side pull (now snapped off) on Superman for thirty seconds chatting to me about god no's what.
Anyway he also fancied himself as a bit of a ladies man, or so he thought.....One night at a Sheffield house party he happened upon a lovely dark haired babe called Peggy. He fancied his chances and moved in close for some intimate conversation. Unlucky for him Danny had spied him from the other side of the room and promptly hurled a half empty bottle of beer towards Wee Stuarts head. A scuffle ensued ..... another legendary feat of strength..... Danny holding Stuart at arms length, by his neck ,in the air....
And so Stuart's introduction to Sheffield climbing scene. :strongbench:
-
Can we have the story about the night said Scotsman had a change of heart about his sexuality?
-

Yeah that was at yours, I was just coming down the alley when your wall was getting demolished :-)
-
My intro to the scene was going round to see Brooksey and Coatsey when they had just moved down and somehow where sharing a house with someone who shall remain nameless (but his number plate is JCM). 'Twas the middle of the day and the curtains were drawn, knocked on the door to hear a squeaky voice shout come in. I barged in to find the squeaky voiced one bent over the fire with a bottomless bottle in hand. "You want one?" Why not I thought.
The above tale is not mentioned in any book, anywhere.
-
Isn't there a similar tale of the same fellow and his young sidekick freaking out a French guy at font when he topped out to find them doing hot knives on top of the boulder?

Here's one for you... JCM running into bedroom with a pair of super tight red briefs on, squeaking surprise come and get it....
Unfortunately his shag wasn't to impressed by the size of his pee pee.... :clap2:

One hazy night at JPs house ( a very specific, New Year's Eve sort of night) gme and john came round pre festivities to chat to a mate of mine from Bradford who now lives in Malaga. The Foundry having opened the very month gme asked...
gme (in Geordie accent) Wa-hey like! What d'ya think of the new wall?
mate from Bradford carefully scrutinises the room, deliberates and then asks.... (in Yorkshire accent) Errm..Which one's new?
That may have been the night I convinced him Hunter's Bar was blessed with a '24 hr bakery' - and lo! as we passed at 4am the bakery was open.
The same bakery where in my naivety I repeatedly asked for a 'mint slice' because Brooksie had recommended them so highly. Except they didn't do mint slices. (Have you worked it out yet?)

This is indeed totally true.... I've heard the same from all concerned, separatley?.. No dis to DT though.. It was a mad time... And dozens of us were escaping our family " homes" and desperately trying to find a community we could b comfortable to live in.. Its what helped make the scene for the next 15 years or so... Probably to the benefit of the UK climbing scene... In my old rose spectacled eyes anyways..
-
Can we have the story about the night said Scotsman had a change of heart about his sexuality?
I thought this was the other strong Scotsman, after a rumble with a certain "southern belle"
-
No it was the Scotsman mentioned earlier & he came out to me and GME one night after he'd given up climbing for podium dancing and died his hair red. He got married about a month afterwards..
-
I saw Danny down Cheedale about three years ago. I had to lend him a harness as he'd brought his old one with him from the days when some used to cut the end off the waist loop to save weight. Needless to say it didn't fit any more. :)
-
I remeber watchinga couple of sheffields finest around 95 trying to boulder at minus ten still of there tits from an evidently very heavy night,both had forgotten most of there stuff and were just in undies, very unpleasant sight.

I heart UKB... :kiss2:
That should be on a t-shirt!

Danny revalidated his IRATA ticket with us a few months back. He was on good form.

I've still got a set of DVDs that I got from PaulyDB (http://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php/topic,12444.0.html) - must get around to watching them before leaping to any harsh desicions

A fucking gem. Thanks for reposting.

Just having a quick browse through some of PaulyDB's posts (http://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php?action=profile;area=showposts;u=3557) and I almost feel sorry for the lad but by jove, what a chuckle I've had!!

Funny I bumped in to Peggy today and we had a lauch about that party in Lucian's house. She used the word 'whirlwind' :-)
-
I was sat on the stairs with fatdoc when most people had left and he said 'well it will be hard to top that one.....'
-
Was this the party when that lad brought all that horrible home brew and Thomas was sick in the bath?
-
No, that was at clubgarden road......
-
it was the one we took the internal doors off as a prophylactic measure, a brick wall got destroyed...in arather splendid fight.. and a certain climber of the moment spent 10 mins getting his head jammed in a door frame... whilst the door was repeatedly slammed shut on his cranium... amongst other things...
the post party synopsis on the stairs was the only place left fit to sit on..
-
Mods - can we have a new thread please, with the posts about DT and party madness moved over to it.

I was at that one. Was it when Glenn and his boyfriend had a disagreement ending in a brawl to put Holyfield/Tyson to shame?

No FD that one was at Joe Picallis house (while Joe was in Thailand of course)
-
Neil road party at Joe Ps that one FD.
I remember someones coat being set on fire as well, some horse hair thing that filled the room with acrid smoke.

Paul Hydes was the coat owner. He smashed up the neighbours bird table in revenge.
I seem to remember Jasper was in the room with Glenn and his mate (Special Forces John!) when it kicked off. Jasper won't remember as he was paralytically unconscious.

The best party I went to was the one just off London Road. Got there about 1 am after the Orbit to find a house draped in camo netting and everybody absolutely OFF THEIR TITS on free acid!! Even the feds were nice when they came to politely ask for the music to be turned down a bit.
-
That would be Edgedale Rd, at the house shared by Gav, Patta, Nic etc. It was a rather good party :clap2:
-
If it's the Edgedale Road party I remember it was someone with a very large bag of mushrooms, not acid (could have been both though). I remember some large Jurasic Park cardboard dinosaurs in the living room.
-
I remember that one (so obviously can't really have been there). A neighbour turned up at about 5am demanding the return of his daughter, who was somewhere in the house.

IanV, Bubs and Fatboy at said legendary party (which I've always been gutted to have missed)
-
Well remembered Andy. It was a girl called Helen who lived with her family about 8 doors up the road, she was 16 or 17 i guess and, at the point where i was trying to calm down her irate father, was upstairs somewhere with Carl from next door.
The police where pretty cool to be fair, they came into the house at one point but realising that it was going to be a bit of an issue to stop the party asked us just to get everyone off the street, especially Steve the pro who really should have been hidden away somewhere. I can just about remember having a long conversation with them , off my tits, in the street.
Born Slippy had just been released and was played a lot that night.

And that Bubba's grown a telescopic arm as well

Wasn't it that party when the problem book got burned? Can't remember who the culprit was though.

cough cj coughcough
isnt that Nortons elbow just in view?

Ah yes, thanks for the reminder!

Nah, thats just good reacharound technique.

Her Dad stuck his head head through the door looking really angry yelling "HELEN!!! HELEN!" I knew she was upstairs with my mate so legged it up there and told her to get dressed 'cos her Dad was here. I don't know who I felt more sorry for, her poor Dad or her.
Meanwhile my girlfriend had dropped her speed on the pavement out front and was on her hands and knees with a tenner in her nostril trying to salvage what was left.
I remember playing a really hard jungle set in a packed room with barely any room to grab my records out of the bag. It was nuts.
Party of the century.
-
Party of the century.
Too right :)
The fact that people still talk about it so many years later speaks volumes; it was one of those rare events that brought a great group of people together at just the right time together with a shit load of quality music, the aforementioned mushrooms, good Ecstasy, great venue, deaf neighbours & unusually diplomatic cops...
-
The boys tried to do it again, even offered to pay for the immediate neighbours to go away for the night, unfortunately it didn't happen.
I remember Mr Sellers turning up at 6am in a taxi, he'd been out clubbing and probably had a decent night but missed out on THE awesome party.

You people make me laugh with ridiculous double standards. After all the -ve karma cuboard received for calling a gay a bender in a story. Then discussing stories to make people look ridiculous were neither party involved is a user of the forum. On top of that condoning the use of drugs and how good they were/are.
There are young people who read this forum.
-
cheer up Lee its xmas
-
Humbug anyone?
-
as usual, Dense is right
for any young people listening out there
modern drugs are rubbish and will mess you up - they are sooooo not worth it
also, there's a reason that British sport climbing standards failed to improve in the 90s - Moon climbed Hubble in 1990... then what happened?
not all of the people from that scene came out of it well
You people make me laugh
now that's some achievement!
-
On top of that condoning the use of drugs and how good they were/are.
Unfortunately thats actually the case with drugs, otherwise why would people continue to take them? :shrug:
Its certainly been my experience and the same for virtually everyone I know who has taken them.
There can be people who have problems with them but thats not the drugs fault, its the people who take them, and its often other aspects of their lives that lead them to seek solace in drugs (and they'd likely have problems with legal addictions such as alcohol, tobacco, gambling, pr0n etc. etc. )
I think Hick's hits the nail on the head (multiple times)...
I loved when Bush came out and said, "We are losing the war against drugs." You know what that implies? There's a war being fought, and the people on drugs are winning it. - Bill Hicks

“Here is my final point...About drugs, about alcohol, about pr0nography...What business is it of yours what I do, read, buy, see, or take into my body as long as I do not harm another human being on this planet?

Take that to the bank, cash it, and go fucking on a vacation out of my life - Bill Hicks

Ah settled then. So the ukb message is drugs are great take as many as you want, if they fuck you up it doesn't matter cos you were obviously fucked up to begin with, nothing to do with the drugs, but never ever call a homosexual a bender. Sounds good
-
Can I point out that I was advocating shoplifting earlier too?
-
Dense is right, cuboards posts were clearly just light-hearted slang with a nod to the attitudes of the time, really hard to mis-construe them as genuine homophobia and the responses to it would have seemed silly on UKC let alone on here.
Anyway, for FD:

Stop trolling Lee. Saying that we took some good drugs at a party nearly 20 years ago isn't a "ukb message" and it's not encouraging anyone else to take drugs either.
I also don't see any double standards. What has challenging prejudice got to do with historical drug use? Get back under your bridge.

Good paraphrasing there. That was my opinion, not the "UKB" message.
I think its wrong to just say "Drugs are bad, don't do them".
There should be education as to the pros (and yes there are plenty) and cons to taking drugs (for every high there is a low, some are addicitive) and legality should be based on the evidence of the harm that they cause (see Prof. David Nutt (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Nutt) review which was completely ignored by the government who commissioned it).
There are far worse things kids can (and no doubt do) find on the internet than people recounting here what they got upto 20+ years ago and remembering that they enjoyed it. For example on the drugs front there is Erowid which contains online copies of PiHKAL and TiHKAL which contain detailed recipes for synthesising all manner of psychoactive compounds from the research chemist Alexander Shulgin.
I don't agree with censorship myself, nor do I condone latent homophobia/piss-taking of peoples choice of sexuality.
-
Chatting about having a good time on drugs 20 years ago is probably not very harmful to this site, but (IMO) posting where you can find recipes for synthesising drugs is probably not the best idea.

One of the reasons its the only "chatroom" type thing i look at is the fact that people said what they wanted and it was all treated in a pretty light hearted manner. Bit like being in the pub, and i don't say anything on here i wouldn't happily say in the pub.
Not allowed to comment on a girl being fit now, no mention of commonly used 90s terms for homosexuals, no mention of drugs. FFS i give up. Its pretty much turning into the love child of the place everyone claims to hate.
Get a life people. Lets not turn it into some PC obsessed twaddle.

Chatting about having a good time on drugs 20 years ago is probably not very harmful to this site, but (IMO) posting where you can find recipes for synthesising drugs is probably not the best idea.
I wrote that to demonstrate a point. I did pause before writing it and purposefully didn't link to it after the base-jumping discussion the other day (despite knowing that given those key words and a search engine the curious could find it if they wanted to, but then they'd have probably have been looking for such things in the first place, I doubt reading this thread would instigate a desire to know how to synthesize DMT). I'm happy for it to be edited, but if its of any reassurance you would need significantly more than...

...as its is proper organic chemistry. Have a look yourself if you'd like further reassurance, there won't be many in the world who have the equipment or access to the raw materials that they use (which is closely monitored).

Erowid is also a great resource for drug safety.

True but most of the comments are from site users (no idea if sponsors are saying similar things in the background).

Absolutely spot on. I might have to wad you each hour for the next day.
The Black Dog and Demon Drink threads show true good morality for accepting and helping others. Kneejerk reactions to obviously lighthearted terminology, anecdotes, appreciations etc show idiocy rather than morality.

UKB has always had strong morals. What it hasn't tended to have is an over-sensitive PC brigade.

gme,
adversely if I posted something with a commonly used 50/60's term for black people that some people found offensive. What would your response be?
Times change.

If any Generation Xers (Lucien, Graeme) want to jwallow in a bit more nostalgia a few of us will be at the Rising Sun this evening
I will be there for a bit Shark - unfortunately on lock up duty at 10 though. Everyone else is off to the Works party. Me, being old now, ain't going. Well more to do with being weak willed ;)

I'll be there
We can talk about the time when Bentley had 3 and a half pints 2 years ago

Is it ok to show some mock outrage about the advocacy of alcohol consumption yet, or should I wait a bit?

No! People are constantly overstating the influence of advertisers on site content here. We have had exactly one complaint in three years and that was heavily prompted by our beloved competitor's ex-advertising manager. And that advertiser is anyway now back on board.

With the risk of sounding like a kill joy could we get back on track with tales of yore from the good old Sheffield days.

OMG - Yeah - what he said. That was a long and strange weekend. God knows what actually happened between 10pm on saturday and 4pm on Sunday. I just remember waking up (coming to) on the lawn of some climbing club hut at about 4pm on sunday.
Props to Bubs on that one for somehow getting us + a load of record boxes, all to Wales in a tiny white nissan micra that I think we'd hired. More so for getting us back safe!! :bow:
Forgot you were there too Vinnie (most of that weekend is lost tbh).

Fwiw when I've been in the pub with middleaged men who've started perving over a teenage lass, I've spoken up. Wouldn't bother on here. To spell out the obvious, I've no problem with semi-clad lasses etc, just with middle aged male 'banter' about them.
Gangsta talk tends to go on in all-white company. l'm neither sufficiently hip hop to join in, nor sufficiently black to challenge.
The drug stuff is quite funny.
No idea what I'm doing on this thread as I and my uptigHt EBs left Sheff in 1985.

Never made it to the Orbit, got within 5 ft of the door once before being told it was full (5th or 6th birthday I think).
Wouldn't have mattered that much if we hadn't popped everything a couple of minutes before. Run back to car, leg it down the motorway, leave car somewhere in Don Valley once the driver (not me) started to come up and desperately search for a club. Sheffield on a Saturday night was never going to work, all glam house etc. Luckily we found a house party with One Armed Dan DJing. Life saver.

God I remember that, those pills were dangerous - they were called "Spice Girls" and were ephedrine along with a shitload of valium and ketamine. Dunno how we made it back to that house. IanV was actually dribbling at one point :) I remember reading how loads of people who took them blacked out and woke up in random places, often after being robbed and presumably far worse for some unfortunates. Nasty business.
Do you remember we nearly totalled that Micra on the way to the party after a sheep wandered out in front of us? Bit of a nightmare weekend really coz the locals didn't even let us on the decks.
-
They made the front page of the daily mail. That was an interesting weekend.

Ha.. yes gutted. It was jeff mills too. I was in the other car .. driven by Norton. I'm sure we ended up in a club though, which was shit and half empty.

Just to rub it in a bit: The 5th Birthday set from Mills was the best one I ever heard him play infact, one of the best sets I have ever heard. He had been doing the tour for his liquid Room CD and he was super tight with his mixing when usually it was a bit sloppy. It was an amazing set and there are bits of genius I can still remember to this day. If you had bothered to get in touch you could have been on the guest list. Punters :tease: :lol: :lol: :tease:

Good gloating ;D
Off topic but the first and one of the very few club nights I went to when moving to Glasgow was Jeff Mills and Dave Clarke at The Arches, totally :dance1: , although I prefered DCs dirty american techno funk to JMs deep minimalism on the dancefloor at least. I wasn't on drugs and got in easily, HTH.

telegrams
-
We had analogue mobiles from '95..... Cost about 30p a text ( SMS) and £1.50 a minute, each way.
Local radio / illegal radio was a source... ( from my knowledge of Oxford weekend get togethers in very lae 80s)
-
...we all think the works party is a massive event but unless they've splashed out on Jurassic Park cut-outs I think I'm going to be thoroughly disappointed.
My eyes were opened to the Sheffield scene as fresher by Quent in the Earl. Here was someone from TPOC as I'd never imagined!
-
I didn't have a mobile phone til 1999.
There was only The Foundry to climb at and The Broadfield to drink in in the early 90's. Wasn't difficult for word to get around for Nether Edge/Hunters Bar house parties.
The bigger stuff was the classic get a number and random directions from the pub and then stop at a phone box (when the convoy was lost somewhere near Derby) to check you had it right. "Turn off after the third bollard after they turn white on the left man, can't miss it.".
Back in the car, "Must be this lane, sure I counted the bollards"...bit rickety and no lights but I can hear it, can't you?.. Shit that farmer's got a gun! "Turn round for fuck's sake!". Other cars coming up the lane... "NOT THIS ONE!!" Window down waving so they don't get shot.
We always found it eventually or found that it'd been relocated. Generally about a mile from where we'd originally set off from. The drive was often as good as the party.
I can't live without my phone these days but I do recall life being a little more exciting before such things existed.
When you go to a gig and half the audience are watching the whole fucking thing through their phone (or worse, tablet) it makes me glad I lived my reckless years in a time when you lived them rather than filmed them.
Oh no, I've just turned into underground and it's not even midnight.

No mobile phones until the late 90's. If you had a shared house it usually had a landline and you had to write your calls in a book and settle up every quarter. There was always someone in the house had a boyfriend or girlfriend miles away or in another country who never believed their bill and caused massive rows. It was a right pain in the arse.

Mark Leach was the first person I knew to get a mobile phone (1994)
needless to say, a couple of days into ownership it called from his pocket and ran up a massive bill - and that on top of The Saga of The Porsche put me off wanting to own a car or a mobile and convinced me to continue to blow all my money on climbing and snowboarding trips
-
The Saga of The Pink Porsche
:lol:
The first mobile I ever used was like this:

Mobile is a bit of a misnomer though as it was the size of a briefcase.

I had one like that (it was a bit smaller) that was affectionately called the Brick. So that was my first mobile in 91... At the time I was scrapping cars and flogging the parts via Loot (and other such publications) and it paid for itself numerous times over..
-
My dad had a mobile for work (and before that a pager), at was one of the first of the modern era, as in it would fit in a pocket but it still took the entire creditcard sized SIM card.

I was at that one. Was it when Glenn and his boyfriend had a disagreement ending in a brawl to put Holyfield/Tyson to shame?
is this the acceptable gay bashing that Cuboard was on about?

-

Special Forces John wasn't Glen's boyfriend, which is what caused the ruckus. Glenn's gaydar had identified John and this was strengthened when they started comparing knifes (!!!) and then tattoos - some of which were in interesting places apparently. Glen was convinced he was in but John said no.
Glen's gaydar was very good, we were working at the NIA on one of the World Cups in the early 90's. Glen pointed out one of the riggers, massive bloke :weakbench:, shaved head, beard. Known as Sinbad I seem to remember. "He will be mine" said Glen, by the end of the week he was :clap2:

Just remembered another interesting night about 20-25 years ago. Me and about 15 others went to Manchester Poly to see Tad, Nirvana and Mudhoney in the Schuch van. I was driving so played by the rules and had a pint over the whole evening - which was a fucking great gig, long before grunge became big. Others were not so restrained in their intake, Hippy Martin had a lot of shrooms with him.
Anyway driving back through Glossop we get pulled, back light out. So coppers come to the window and ask 1) have you had a drink and 2) how many in the back. Yes and about 15 so off I go to the police car to get breathalysed (I passed as only 1 pint) and get told off for having so many in the back of the van as it wasn't a passenger vehicle.
Meanwhile FBSF is in the passenger seat next to Martin. Martin is busy panicking as already explained and everyone in the back is busy working out how to stash their 'gear'. Copper asks FBSF if there is anyone in the back and gets the answer no. Copper took FBSF's word for it.
Also the van must have stank of whatever the bad boys in the back were smoking ;) Copper must have had a cold or something.
Unbelievably the coppers don't confer, I get a producer and we are on our way. The trip back across the Snake was very sedate. Obviously the Schuch van had no MOT but I got let off!
Who was in that van?
Me, FBSF, Hippy Martin, Big Al, Ade plus about 10 others, but who were they?
-
I was at that gig but didn't know all you lot back then.
-
I went to that gig but fucked my ankle trying to play in the mosh pit (I had no idea what was going on really) so spent most of it propped up against a wall. Mudhoney blew my tiny mind. No idea how I got there and back though but sounds like you played a blinder on the driving front :)
Anyone heard from Martin recently?

I met a bunch of people (including Big Al again) in Manchester for Mudhoney/Sonic Youth on the Daydream Nation tour. Must be more people from here?

Anyone heard from Martin recently?
I hear from him every now and again - he tracked me down when I was at the BMC, it was only a week or so after Meeta died. I didn't enjoy telling him Meeta was dead but I was pretty much over joyed to hear that he was still alive. Win some, lose some I guess.
Last heard from him about a year ago. He's living in France, vaguely near the Ariege, climbing a bit, got a daughter and seemed a lot more together than might have been expected. Still sounded like he was a bit away with the fairies and but still sounded like he knew how to get by.

I did the whole Mudhoney-Sonic Youth Daydream Nation tour. Hitched round the country and managed to blag onto the guest list. I think I was also at that Tad, Mudhoney gig at Manc poly. Mudhoney were crazy and I distinctly remember being in awe of Kim Gordon.
It was only a year or two later that I met a lot of the Sheffield crew - I started working at Bendcrete and met people like Big Al, Lucien etc
-
In a weird cross over of topics.. who remembers DT driving us over to Cream in liverpool, waiting in the car outside for us, then driving us back. Classic DT.
I remember very little else of the night, other than I was vaguely disappointed with Cream. Really cant remember much about it though.

I was one of the ones in the back - good times. I can't remember if it was that Mudhoney gig or another one, but I ended up at the Northern General with Dave 'The Bear' Wilkinson after one of his earrings had been ripped out in a stage diving 'incident'.

So it looks like so far we have Me, FBSF, Hippy Martin, Big Al, Ade, Bubba, LuckyJez, The Bear (yes it was that gig where he had his ear-ring ripped out). I reckon we are still missing about 4 - Patta wouldn't have been there I suspect as he was still in Leeds, although he did go to the Nirvana gig at Leeds Poly a year or so later.

Just checked my keepsake box, I've got that Mudhoney ticket as well. But also found one for Manchester Poly 24th October 1989 with Tad & Nirvana but no Mudhoney perhaps our collective memory is faulty
Also got one for 27th October 1990 for Leeds Poly Nirvana gig.
