Another simliarity between the two bands is that Geordie Mick used to run the Newcastle branch of the New York Dolls fan club and 'do' his hair a bit like Johnny Thunders, the little scamp!

To be fair, only about 7 answers on this thread are actually answering the question, the rest is supposedly 'hilarious' made up stuff about Linda's watchmaking skills etc, so I think The Smiths still win.

I would have liked Prolapse to have played my meltdown thing, I always wanted to meet Scottish Mick (sigh)

how to meet scottish mick part 476
1. put on your best flowery dress and anorak (for extra marks wear a celtic badge)
2. go to a pub and order fizzy ribena
3. start singing 'fandabbidozie' by the krankies
4. look out for a grizzled old man with action man hair and slits for eyes but no pet monkey

The one on the left looks a bit like Lol Tolhurst.

I have it on good authority that Geordie Mick is writing his autobiography, to be called Irritable bowel syndrome : My life in Prolapse and other stories. Sounds like a good read.

Exciting news! Scottish Mick is now the treasurer of the norwegian branch of the Crystal Palace Independent Supporters Association, based in Oslo. Here he is celebrating the Eagles wonderful promotion with the secretary of the Association, Kasper Kamp.

I have it on good authority that the sales from Scottish Mick's ceramic monkey shop have gone from strength to strength. He is making ceramic monkeys everyday, using a shakermaker he bought off ebay, and sometimes sells up two dozen of his individually painted monkeys everyday.

He is also thinking of branching out and opening another ceramic monkey shop in Whitchurch in Shropshire, employing Geordie Mick as a manager there, the white cider factory idea being shelved indefinitely for reasons best not discussed.

Hi Ulrich! Nice to see you taking time out from your busy schedule.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 3 August 2004 15:11 (nineteen years ago) link

Anytime Ned!

I was thinking that instead of ripping off bits from the Cocteau Twins and Slowdive to try sampling stuff of that new Cure album.

The only trouble is that its not that good really, so i don't think I'll bother.

― Ulrich Schnauss, Tuesday, 3 August 2004 15:21 (nineteen years ago) link

Amazing!

Geordie Mick is possibly selling off all his records to clear his debt from when the white cider factory purchase went balls up. Currently selling all his old prolapse vinyl(as well as other stuff) on ebay. Have a looksie:-

This band is very difficult to find on certain online p2p engines.

Two months ago hHe became the manager of a female cricket team in Italy. Sadly, he was sacked a few days later.

I hear on the grapevine that Pat's brother's band, Cherry Red angular punksters, 'The Tights', are reforming and doing a cover of Prolapse's semi legenderary classic, 'Tina, this is Matthhew Stone', and they have miracuously persuaded none other than William Shatner to do the Scottish Mick part! fagging ell!

Oh, and Iain's Scary Eyebrows, the royalty cheques have come in very handy thankyouverymuch, I may buy back Palace's ground back for them from Uncle Ron. The Ken Bates rumours concern me greatly...

― Ulrich Schnauss, Tuesday, 7 September 2004 12:12 (nineteen years ago) link

The other noos have to tell you is that Pat still hates ginger cake as much as he ever did.

― ulrich likes the field mice, Tuesday, 7 September 2004 12:15 (nineteen years ago) link

Although he still loves weasels, stoats and to a lesser extent, polecats. In fact anything with a long body, piercing eyes and sharp teeth.

He misses Bamboozle as you can't get ceefax in Denmark.

Poor Pat,

I know how he feels...

The Ligament Blub Brothers? The Haggis Collectors? Has Scottish Mick been involved in anyway with either of these bands. Big Shoe Boy is a classic

Geordie Mick is back! He his mulling over his options Having offered a directorship at scottish non league football team Huntly FC, whose income is derived from profits accrued by the successful Huntly and Palmer biscuit company, which the club formed in partnership with the former Emmerson Lake and Palmer drummer, Carl Palmer, in the mid 1970's. Geordie has been personally chosen by Mr Palmer becuase his bass lines on the Italian Flag sounded 'well proggy' according to a reliable source. Huraaahhh!

― a reliable source, Thursday, 21 October 2004 14:34 (nineteen years ago) link

You can see him in full effect here, overwhelmed by fans who asks for both winning the FA cup & a copy of the "pull thru barker" 7"!!

Cooking Vinyl are apparently on the way to releasing a prolapse 'best of' to be made available some time next year. Working titles for the album (which will feature some previously unreleased live tracks) have been narrowed down to, uncannily, "Prolapse: Classic or Dud?", "It would appear that Geordie Mick has consumed all the milk" or "Mitral Valve".

Personally I can't wait!

― Jimmy Greaves, Monday, 22 November 2004 14:08 (nineteen years ago) link

I heard that Scottish Mick may be working with Fugazi again (still on bagpipes).

― everything, Monday, 22 November 2004 22:04 (nineteen years ago) link

Scottish Mick has been offered the part as the voice of Groundskeeper Willie in the next series of the Simpsons. The money is good, but it will mean leaving his current job and new obssession, namely the making and painting of his ceramic monkeys. He has built the Oslo based ceramic monkey selling shop (called King of the Swingers), into a thriving business and is at pains to leave it now, when world domination of the ceramic monkey selling world seems inevitable.

As Willie himself would say, "Bonjourrrrrrrr, ye silk-wearin' croquet-playin' buttercup"!

i'd like to quash these baseless rumours NOW regarding Scottish Micks new band.
1. they are not a Gentle Despite tribute band called Genital Deformity, with the record sleeve being a big hairy chookie.
2. there are no bowlie girls blowing suggestively on bagpipes in the band.
3. no dancing monkeys in funny suits either, ok RSPCA?
4. Pat 'The Dentist' Marsden is not joining the band unless its called La! Esbjerg
5. there IS some truth however to the story about a mysterious bearded throat singer being involved, i met him last week but he didn't say much, just kept muttering "bamboo...bamboo" under his breath.

― anna rack, Tuesday, 23 November 2004 14:26 (nineteen years ago) link

I for one would be pleased as punch with Prolapse: Classic or Dud? as an album title.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 23 November 2004 15:11 (nineteen years ago) link

Your wish is my command, Mr Raggett!

Linda has been getting into watchmaking in a big way, and has been asked to write a feature for the magazine "Horology Today". She apparently likes horology because "you can get a lot of satisfaction for little effort and very little outlay."

Linda is now one of the world specialists in making and mending the beautiful Oris Pendulette, an interesting combination of pocket watch and desk clock.

The much delayed Haggis Collectors single is out next Monday on Pickled Egg. An outsiders bet at 1,000,0000-1 for the Christmas number one?

Scottish Mick (who is twiddling the knobs behind the mixing desk) is the new Phil Spector and I claim my five pounds!

Geordie Mick has reformed "How many Means Bake Five" for a new year's eve special at the Landsdowne Bar on london Road in leicester. The 'white-cider glockenspeil' obsessed fez wearer wants the band to to do loungecore versions of old prolapse songs in an attempt to get his royalty cheques to amount to more than 1p a quarter, the little scamp!

Merry Xmas to you all.

― Kitten on the keys, Friday, 24 December 2004 14:01 (nineteen years ago) link

I spoke to Geordie Mick after the How many beans make five gig and he said he was forming a new band for 2005, which will be a fusion of reggae,goth,salsa,glam,techno,loungecore,post punk,punk,new romantic, post goth, and prog. But he's not sure of a name for the band so he wants suggestions. He reads this thread and is glad that he's not been forgotten. He was going to post here himself and ask for suggestions for names for his new band but is wary of cyber stalkers. So post your suggestions for a new band name. He is offering a prize for the best suggestion- a CDR of unreleased Conveyor Belt recordings so get those band names coming in now !
