Saw them at the Bay I think, Tony McPhee main man, although they also went on tour with John Lee Hooker and it might have been then, I bought the album at the time, the one with the WWI artwork on it, great sleeve, still have it somewhere, I will dig it out and have a listen. Never went to any gigs at Dunelm, but I knew a few lads from Houghton who mentioned going, transport was the problem for me at that time. <ok>

If memory serves me well I think the album is called " Thank Christ for the Bomb "
I've got it in the garage somewhere along with all the other treasures from my younger days.
Loved the Groundhogs, managed to pick up " Best of the Groundhogs 1969-72 " from Melton Mowbray market about 6 years ago for £3.00.

That's the one. Love the blues, Best local band up here, after the Animals, were the Junco Partners and early days were ahead on points, but never quite made the big time, they did tour later on with Howlin Wolf which cant be bad, first saw them at the Blue Note in Roker Avenue, about 2/6d to get in, and I thought I had seen the best band in the world, happy days. <ok>
 
Any bands playing? Im off mon and tues if you get any time.

Our lass will be at the lakes with her mates this weekend, so I'm looking to see who is on. The rabble rousers are playing The Mallard at Seaham on saturday night, but I will probably be giving that one a miss and looking for something nearer the town.
I could be up for a few beers on monday as well..Just let me know..

Both very difficult decisions but
One goal given offside when it was a goal
The other team given a goal when it was offside
Tight margins
 
It’s Father’s Day today, so here’s a big list of jokes to make your dad laugh:

5. I tried to catch some fog today but I mist.
6. I bought a dog from my local blacksmith. When I got it home it made a bolt for the door.
7. Last night I went to a comedy and philosophy convention. Laughed more than I thought.
8. Just watched a wildlife documentary on beavers. Best dam programme I've seen in a long time.
9. Jokes about German sausage are the Wurst.
10. I was trying to explain puns to my kleptomaniac friend today, but she kept taking things literally.

12. A woman told me she recognised me from the vegetarian club, but I'd never met herbivore
13. I told my friend she drew her eyebrows too high. She seemed surprised.
14. What does a clock do when it's hungry? It goes back four seconds.

18. My wife's working in a bowling alley.
Ten pin?
No, permanent.

21. Jokes about opticians just get cornea and cornea.
22. A steak pun is a rare medium well done.

26. Dad: I’ve just been diagnosed with Tom Jones syndrome.
Mum: Is it common?
Dad: It's Not Unusual
