three weeks pass...

Is anyone going to see Ping at Pong on sunday ? I'm coming down from Manchester and could do with a bed for the night. I'm bringing some potatoes with me which were signed by Prolapse in 1996 which I've kept in a freezer ever since. I'm going to give them to Geordie Mick to sell on ebay to fund his next release. I wish he'd do some more Ears go Fff! recordings.

I saw Ping at Pong today and they were fantastic ! Nice to see them introducing the odd Sea Urchins cover into the set. Wasn't sure about their "ironic" cover of Britney's "Toxic" though. During their version of The Field Mice's "I can see myself alone forever" Geordie Mick destroyed his white cider bottle glockenspiel, Keith Moon style. Brilliant.

Geordie Micks new shoes are so slidy that he can sometime bearly keep upright. He sometimes slides down bannisters standing up looking like a bit like the Silver Surfer from the Fanatsic Four...

Great Noos!

Scottish Mick has formed a tightly knit Norwegian agit pop band called Derrick and the Diggers. They sound a bit like Gang of Four mixed with Sonic Youth mixed with The Fall. How about that?

Press photos below. (See how they are digging a hole to 'play' on their name. Arf!)

The 3 piece band's first single is a critique of the foolish monarchy in Norway. It's ironically called " I'd packed the The Travel Scrabble for when we were travelling, and the ordinary Scrabble for when we'd arrived" backed with the spoken word ditty "I hope I don't bite myself"

I believe!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 17 May 2004 15:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Ooooooooh, I do like his orange trousers.

― Lady tron, Friday, 21 May 2004 10:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Oooooooooohhh, He's got hair like an action man.

― Brenda Fury, Friday, 28 May 2004 12:53 (twenty-two years ago)

I bet he uses regaine.

― Jealous eddy, Friday, 28 May 2004 12:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Hey, just noticed that The Smiths C/D thread has had 145 replies, and the Prolapse one 144, but in seven months less. Therefore Prolapse are officially more popular/influential than The Smiths. So why has Q never done a special edition featuring the inside story of Prolapse ?

― Nancy Vodka, Friday, 28 May 2004 16:15 (twenty-two years ago)

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!

― Herbet Gin, Friday, 28 May 2004 16:20 (twenty-two years ago)

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)

― Morrissey, Friday, 28 May 2004 16:25 (twenty-two years ago)

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

― andrew symingtons haircut, Friday, 28 May 2004 17:13 (twenty-two years ago)

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.

― Ulrich Schnuass, Tuesday, 3 August 2004 15:08 (twenty-one years ago)

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

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 3 August 2004 15:11 (twenty-one years ago)

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 (twenty-one years ago)

Amazing!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 3 August 2004 15:22 (twenty-one years ago)

latest sightings of scottish mike suggests that he is doing velvet underground & zappa & uriah heep covers in a tango fashion

Don't give up Gordon...

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.

That is all.

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 (twenty-one years ago)

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 (twenty-one years ago)

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.

― ulrichfuggingschnauss, Tuesday, 7 September 2004 12:39 (twenty-one years ago)

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 (twenty-one years ago)

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 (twenty-one years ago)

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

― everything, Monday, 22 November 2004 22:04 (twenty-one years ago)

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"!

― lonely as an ayrshire, Tuesday, 23 November 2004 13:15 (twenty-one years ago)

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 (twenty-one years ago)

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 (twenty-one years ago)

Your wish is my command, Mr Raggett!

Wowzer!

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.
