Dan – I always read the Bohemian bit as saying that to fit in with arty types’ discussions, he would memorise names (presumably of writers) rather than go to the effort to read their books (such as On the Road).

“HB57″? Now that’s what I call a Crackerjack pencil (please could you correct that Chris? – thanks)

No – Ed

No it couldn’t.

But great wishful thinking and a very nice gesture.

I once chucked HB57 a sticker from the Bohemians Prague Ultras, which, on the background of a picture of an astronaut on a moon landing, said in Czech: “First Ultras on Mars”.

Enjoy the gig.

Could the ‘bohemian’ reference in Let’s Not actually be Bohemians as in League of Ireland football team from Dublin?

Bohemian seems to go with Kerouac etc., but given the frequent football themes would seem it might have a double meaning used here. Just a thought. Hope it makes some sense, given that as the honorary treasurer of the Dublin HMHB supporters club, we’re bringing Nigel a Bohemians’ jersey to the gig on Friday. If it makes no sense, he’ll just be confused.

I always assumed that the line it ‘Let’s Not’ was:
‘where Ram John Holder joins a local grindcore outfit’.
Ram playing the inimitable Porkpie in the much underrated Channel 4 sitcom Desmonds.

So is the missing apostrophe on the CD track list a typo or a brilliant joke about letting we’ve all missed?

I just read that Stephen Hawking is very ill in hospital. Reading on, the piece mentioned his motor neurone disease. The rest was inevitable. Before long I was thinking about Ian “Sludge” Lees. I remember once seeing the covers of a set of rubbish looking singles, it was something like football songs for a world cup sung by not very famous comedians of England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland and the England one was done by Ian “Sludge” Lees. I think he had a perm.

None of that makes much sense though. In fact, it’s a pretty dire ‘parody’, but I bow to your Norfolk (and Way) reasoning.

the lyric book(which is not 100% perfect) says:
