[Albion] Explain Yourself

[Gabbafella]

Ha ha. I know the feeling. Which rave is it? Who's playing?

Unfortunately Randall died a few weeks ago, not sure who is taking his place and still don't know who the special guest is.
I'm hoping it will be a cracking event.

 

[Super Steve Earle]

My favourite artist:

The first one

The big hit more are likely to know

The one from the Magners advert

A favourite deeper cut (see avatar)

 

[Brovion]

I'm from a Welsh family and Gwylan is Welsh for seagull.

Simples (as I believe the young folk say)

I knew it was Welsh for seagull, but I've always wondered how you pronounce it? Is it Gw-eye-lan? (Which is how I always say it to myself when I see it).

That's proper old skool. I saw the tributes to Randall, sad.

 

[Deportivo Seagull]

Mother is from A Coruna her family are Deportivo La Coruna fans.

 

[Tom Bombadil]

Ask one of the mods and they will fix it for you. Maybe @Tom Bombadil can explain the form of words necessary to expedite the username change.

I think i just pm'd bozza, I assume any of the mods are able to help with this.

 

[Lenny Rider]

Was Harty originally but got trolled by some idiot one night, so Bozza kindly shut that account down and I took on my pen name from the fanzine days.

 

[raymondo]

Wasn’t it “what‘s The recipe today, Jim?” But Raymondo was definitely in there as well. Quite shocked to realise I am aware of what Jimmy Young was doing in the 1970s!
Asfor me, my name is not Archibald and I don’t live anywhere near Leeds. I’m not actually in Southampton, either, but fairly close…..

Yeah, quite possibly I got it wrong ...it was a while ago

It's good that they're catering for the age group and it finishes at 11pm.
Back to the hotel for a nice Horlicks before bedtime.

 

[Cordwainer]

A nod to my Northampton heritage and the industry that the town was well known for.

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

I'd like to learn the Edna Krabapple story ....

 

[Papak]

When I was about 14 ! Actually, spent most of my match time on the big terrace (west?east?) with my school mates.

Blimey, you are old...

 

[pasty]

Contrary to the obvious, mine is nothing to do with a Cornish based food item.

It rhymes with “hasty” and was a nickname bestowed on me in the early 90’s due to my aversion to sunshine

It was originally Captain Pasty but I became known just as Pasty and many friends still call me by that nickname to this day.

 

[Roadrunner]

Was Harty originally but got trolled by some idiot one night, so Bozza kindly shut that account down and I took on my pen name from the fanzine days.

Similarly, Roadrunner was my pen name from the fanzine days. I would normally write the away-day match reports for Scars & Stripes.

That like a great line up.

Have a great night.

 

[Change at Barnham]

I've lived all my life in Bognor and going on the train anywhere we often need to Change at Barnham.
I enjoy train travel. Barnham is a station I'm fond of as it always an interesting place to sit and people watch and always seems friendly.

 

[Biscuit Barrel]

When I selected my user name I ate a lot of biscuits and I would often get caught with my hand in the biscuit barrel.

I have since given up the junk food and have gone from 18st to 12st.

Nice! I'm 42 and just getting back into raving after 10 years off bringing up kids.

Some learnings so far:
- Try to go only to events that finish before 11
- Don't go to more than 1 a month (and DEFINITELY NOT 2 in 3 days as happened to me at the weekend)
- Stick mainly to booze(!)
- Try new stuff, there's some amazing new producers out there recreating the 90s vibe

Ps hope you have fun and decide it's not your last!

 

[Binney on acid]

Vintage Albion fans will fondly remember that Fred Binney wasn’t exactly the Lionel Messi of his day.

He was a striker with the turning circle of an oil tanker, A man that would struggle to bring the ball under control in less than 90 minutes, and who appeared to be incapable of getting his considerable girth to rise above the ground.

He was completely and utterly lethal from 18 inches, brave, sturdy as a bull, and struck me as being almost as intelligent.

My user name is a small tribute to an Albion legend.

 

[Sea Cider]

I hate my username. I don't live by the sea any more, and don't like cider.
