Booze, news and views from a drunken opinionated fool who can't spell very well, may well repeat himself, and can't blame it on dislexia

rolling stones - welcome to new york update
I still think these are crazy prices, but some mad bastards seem to be buying them. I'm pretty mad, but not this crazy.

differing hotel views - newcastle's hampton by hilton
The view from the front of our hotel at the weekend (Newcastle's Hampton by Hilton) was pretty good.
However, not so good at the back when coming down for breakfast. Would still recommend it though and would stay there again.

the exploding pope (and william the conqueror)
I'm full of useless information. As Michael Caine would say, not a lot of people know that a recent Pope exploded. Due to not being properly fixed (a technical term - look it up) by the papal physician Riccardo Galeazzi-Lisi, Pope Pius XII, who died in 1958, had a four day viewing ceremony, meanwhile, his internal gases built up until his chest exploded, and his nose and fingers fell off, while also of course, creating an ungodly stench, which caused his guards to faint.
The same kind of fate happened in 1087 to William the Conqueror as he was lowered into his grave. He exploded, and the flying body parts and stench caused the crowds to scatter.
What a way to go.

you can't even enjoy fanta anymore
I like Fanta a lot, even the zero sugar one. Then l discovered it was created by Nazis!! Is nothing sacred these days??
the rolling stones' welcome to new york is still at ridiculous prices
I'm still on the lookout for this album in it's various vinyl forms (I already have it on CD) but certainly not at these sort of prices. I suppose l could also just get a life and stop being a sad bastard, but let's face it, that's not going to happen.

eric clapton's bag of cocaine
This of course has nothing to do with last night's madness at the Primal Scream show, from which my mate is still recovering (and had to leave the show early), but when rock stars buy drugs, they do it on an industrial scale. Check out Eric Clapton's bag of coke when he was recording the Derek and The Dominos lp. That is serious partying.

primal scream - newcastle city hall tonight
I've seen Primal Scream on every tour for many years, and this years one is no exception. A mate and myself are going tonight, as it's Newcastle City Hall, and the last date of the tour. I expect it will get a bit messy, so it's a good job we're staying in a hotel and getting the train there and back. Bring it on.
