Half man Half biscuit: OPO-line

HALF PAST FOUR? HALF PAST FOUR? YOU SAID HALF PAST TEN TO US!!!

Ah, that is different!

"Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends. It goes on for two hours because we've got a new Moog."

This is so true.

Currently:
"If it's her desire, I'll put my fingers in the fire / 'Cos I've got Joy Division oven gloves"

I saw them the other month and Nigel preceded Vatican Broadside with a rather lovely version of Laughing Len Cohen's Hallelujah. There was also a bit of The Mercy Seat in the middle of 24 Hour Garage People.

the best HMHB lyric is whichever one you're listening to at the moment

Possibly the most OTM thing in the history of ILM.

If you're going going to quote from the Book of Revelation/ Don't go calling it the "Book of Revelations"/ There's no "s", it's the Book of Revelation/ As revealed to St John the Divine

Is your child hyperactive or is he just at twat?

I don't know what to do/ I've only got three bullets and there's four of Motley Crue

NICK FUCKING KNOWLES!

... and a pulled up at Bangor-On-Dee

Sometimes instead of Arthur Lee/ I'd much prefer some Arthur Lowe

We all new somebody at primary school who had a very powerful magnet

"I've died and gone to hell, and then I've fallen through a trapdoor and landed on planet progrock"

"I asked if you would like to go along to see the Rocky Horror Picture Show/ You said you'd love to, so I murdered your family, because I hate the Rocky Horror Picture Show/ Besides, I'm going browsing around hardware shops"

'you're optimism strikes me like junk mail addressed to the dead'

'with my rugby shirt signed by justin hayward, i will rule the world....playing risk'

"It fills me with joy to see moshers out jogging"

"I can put a tennis racket up against my face and pretend that I am Kendo Nagasaki"

Look, my favourite song by them remains the one that caused me to fall in love with them in the first place "Reasons To Be Miserable". That doesn't mean I have a ready handy one-line quote from them, take pity on me, I'm an American. Thanks.

This is true. I thank the people on this thread for giving me the joy of listening to all the albums again for two days straight.

I just wish they could be like the Bonzos and have some kind of random mega hit single and make LOADS AND LOADS of money. Like what they deserve.

Nigel made enough money from that BP advert. Something like 100k.

BP Advert? Do tell!

One of the BP adverts from the turn of the century (01?), the voiceover artist was Nigel Blackwell, for no real obvious reason. I think it was just someone in advertising was a massive HMHB fan and decided to get him a big payday.

ah right! Nice one, advertising person!

There's an interview during one of the Kershaw sessions where Nigel says as long an album every couple of years is enough to keep him going. I'm assuming Neil does something else, since he didn't get a BP payday.

So I borrowed 'Four Lads...' and 'Voyage To...'. 'A Country Practice' is indeed masterful.

"In the kingdom of the blind they say the one eyed man is king
In the kingdom of the bland it's 9 pm on ITV"

"The Y is for Yate, the kind of town that referees come from."

"Deck quoits with the French trance vets, come one come all"

"A woman who described herself as 'a little bit Bridget, a little bit Ally, a little bit Sex In The City' and chose to call her baby boy Fred, as a childishly rebellious attempt at a clever reaction to those who might have expected her to call him Julian, or Rupert. Bit of advice: call him Rupert. It fits, and besides it's a good name. Don't be calling him Fred, or Archie, with all its cheeky but lovable working-class scamp connotations, unless you really do have plans for him to spend his life at William Hill, waiting for them to weigh in at Newton Abbot"

Well today I knocked upon their door
And said that I was passing,
And charlie launched a scathing attack.
When I asked him what I'd done, he said
"You stupid bastard! We live in a cul-de-sac!"

No relationship to this thread at all, I'm sure:

I could have put my head in a bucket full of porridge and moaned about the hospital parking scheme.
I would have saved £14 that I just splashed out on your second album.

Dudes need a new album out asap

I've actually decided that my favourite thing about "The Referee's Alphabet" is the wistful harmony of "Wouldn't it be fun...if they gave the ref a gun", over the outro.

New album "early 2008", including the track "Bad Losers At Yahoo Chess"

anyone heard their recent Marc Riley session? or sharing it on slsk?

didn't know about that, but I'm hunting for it now.

Very much looking forward to new album, it's about bloody time.

Also, gig in striking distance of London please
