Half man half biscuit

I was at the gig as well. Agreed, not their best but since I've been attending their Scottish gigs (plus 2 in Manchester) since Nigel had hair I've got a lot to compare it with.

Neil was having a lot of bother basically changing all his set up from scratch at the start of the gig and the sound didn't get any better.

Much prefer them up at the Lemon Tree in Aberdeen.

Bought another "Avoiding real work since 1985" T shirt simply because it's the 30th anniversary of them starting the band and me starting my apprenticeship.

They've done better avoiding real work than I have.

No Scotland gigs then :(

I actually emailed Geoff a few years back re: Scottish gigs but he dinghied me :(

New album out on the 21st Oct.

And some fell on stony ground. Compilation album of 'rarities'.

One for the completist because I've got all the tracks already.

Disappointed to see that Mr Cave's a Window Cleaner now isn't included on it. Or Mars Ultras, You'll Never Make the Station.

I'd love to hear Referees Alphabet over the tanoy at our ground, if only to annoy those who constantly shout at the officials demanding imaginary fouls. I'd also love to turn up at the all night garage a bloke I know from the ice hockey works at and ask for 2 scotch eggs and a jar of marmite.

Wish they'd tour more often.

I've been 'singing' Joy Division Oven Gloves all day. Shame I only know 4 words.

Not sure this is right because it's just what the guy thinks is being sung.

Well they say she’s too hot
Yeah but guess what
I’ve got Joy Division oven gloves
If it’s her desire
I’ll put my fingers in the fire
‘Cos I’ve got Joy Division oven gloves
I’ve got Joy Division oven gloves

Ooh ooh tropical diseases
Ooh ooh chemical alarm
Ooh ooh I’m a little blase
In me Joy Division oven gloves
In me Joy Division oven gloves

Oh I’ve been here and I’ve been there
In me Joy Division oven gloves
I’ve been to a post-punk postcard fair
In me Joy Division oven gloves
Ooh ooh Nagasaki towpath
Ooh ooh tickling the Laird
Ooh ooh checking out the Quantocks
In me Joy Division oven gloves
In me Joy Division oven gloves

On a sinking ship a sailor yearns
For his Joy Division oven gloves
Nero fiddles while Gordon burns
In his Joy Division oven gloves
Talk to the hands, talk to the hands
In my Joy Division oven gloves
Dance dance dance dance
In your Joy Division oven gloves

Ooh ooh piccalilli shinpads
Ooh ooh polishing the knave
I keep wicket for the Quakers
In me Joy Division oven gloves
In me Joy Division oven gloves
In me Joy Division oven gloves
In me Joy Division oven gloves
In me Joy Division oven gloves
In me Joy Division oven gloves
In me Joy Division oven gloves
In me Joy Division oven gloves
In me Joy Division oven gloves
In me Joy Division oven gloves
In me Joy Division oven gloves
In me Joy Division oven gloves

My grandfather’s clock was too tall for the shelf
So I sold it and opened up a stall
Selling Joy Division oven gloves
We got Joy Division oven gloves
Get your Joy Division oven gloves
Hallelujah

Appears to be the three EPs - that website btw is already now saying it will be November instead.

Clearly this is to thwart the illicit eBay trade in overpriced copies of Saucy Haulage Ballads...

It's weird that you posted that this week as someone just bought me Joy Division Oven Gloves for my birthday.

Happy Birthday. I thought some bright spark would bring out Joy Division oven gloves. If the wife sees them online I know what I'm getting for Xmas. And it's not a dukla Prague away kit.
