I seem to be on a Half Man Half Biscuit jag

[David B]

I had a tape of them years ago, lent it to someone who lost it, but have just acquired some on cd.

So bizarre and so wonderful!

Sample lyric (IIRC)

'In debt I owe someone a fiver
Maybe I should try my hand at drag
James Dean was just a careless driver
And Marilyn Monroe was just a slag

99% of gargoyles look like Bob Todd'

David B (listening now)

Wonderful stuff. I saw them twice way back when.

"Time flies by,
When you're a pilot of a plane,
Touching down in Heathrow,
With a cargo of cocaine."

[Oolon Colluphid]

When I'm pining for a cigarette
I think of all the free ones that I'd get
If I killed myself and came back as a beagle

[umop apisdn w,I]

I Hate Nerys Hughes!

[Oolon Colluphid]

She threw an apple in my eye, cor blimey
Alex Haley was adopted, that's what's called a disappointment

[Oolon Colluphid]

Woke up this morning, found myself in bed
My knowledge of the blues is somewhat nil




Frank was going through a state of depression in his bedroom
When he reached out for the jar
He swallowed every last pill and he lay back on his duvet
But a Haliborange overdose is perhaps not the right way
to kill yourself

And what ever happened to Dukla Prague?

[Matty]

Well I heard a lovely rumor,
That Bette Midler had a tumor,
So gleefully I went to tell my friends.
But they said it was a lie,
That she wasn't going to die,
"And by the way, have we got news for you!"
