I've just spent a good few minutes trying to remember what the name of their song 'Deanshanger' was. I was getting it confused with 'Panshanger, a district of Welwyn Garden City where some of my friends lived around about, coincidentally, the time when 'Deanshanger' came out.

Deanshanger is a village in Northants, UK that Pat and Mick from Prolapse used to frequent when doing archeology digs. They also used to go round the charity shops there so that Mick could find yet a another ceramic monkey to stick on his "toy wall".

My nephews mates granny had a pet monkey who set fire to the curtains with a lighter.

I heard a rumour that Geordie Mick has auditioned as bassist on Simon Le Bon's new solo album. Remember, you read it here first kids!

― Boris Vian (flowersdie), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 14:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Mick and Pat are moving to Scandanvia together and are forming a band called olag the great. They have recorded a hard house tune called "viking boyz" with legendary producer Ben Keen and the girl who used to be in Tiny Too.

Linda has got into watchmaking (but only as a hobby)and drummer Tim was involved in a freak accident involving an umbrella and a pair of kitchen scales. Sorry.

Freed Unit gimp Jeremy (son of) Peel is recording an album of
Prolapse covers playing only the tambourine with his 'sock monster'.

the Field Mice were unavailable for comment.

I've heard that S. Mick has tried his hand at producing, and has engineered The Haggis Collectors (two bored 14 year olds from Ayr)new single, a cover of the Ligament Blub Brothers classic "Big Shoe Boy". It's out in October on Pickled Egg.

my grandmother was telling me about her prolapsed rectum last week and for a moment I disassociated to this thread.

Dave Jeffries new Aztec/emo/transvestite influenced outfit "The Salt" are currently working with my nephews mates grannys monkey as producer, at Bogsheds old studio.Honestly.

In a bizzare twist of fate Geordie Mick has accidently burnt all his nostril hair off while trying to impersonate Ron Mael from Sparks using only a packet of matches and some "laughing gas". S'all true.

Hey Turk! The 'Glider sank without a trace, anyway. F'k'm. Has Scotia gone to Norway with Elin yet? Might be up to play at the Spread Eagle before you know it! Be afraid, youth! Love to all if you see 'em.

In a last ditch attempt at fame Geordie Mick has tried to create a whole new own genre. He takes his BONGO METAL outfit "How Many Means Bakes Five?" out on the road in September. The tour starts at the Shed in Leicester. The band all wear Fez's to "comical" effect. Keep it under your hats.

― Edward Fizzy, Friday, 25 July 2003 16:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Strange but completely true. Ex Julian Cope guitarist and Prolapse Keyboard curlyhead Donald Ross Skinner has been offered a free season ticket seat (worth £650!)in the directors box at Port Vale F.C. in exchange for writing and performing a single with the team squad for the upcoming season to commemorate the "Valiants" 127th season in existence.

― Gillian Mope, Wednesday, 30 July 2003 15:40 (twenty-two years ago)

I like how this thread keeps coming back.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 15:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Appppparently Scottish Mick got so drunk at his leaving Leicester party that his eyes completely sealed up like Rocky in Rocky 2 (or was it Rocky 3?) He had to be helped into a taxi and guided home as he could no longer see more than 3 yards in front of him. Fascinating.

― Patrick Thistle, Thursday, 7 August 2003 08:53 (twenty-two years ago)

just takin a break from mah pigeons to tell ya that scottish
mick is plannin to start a Stockholm Monsters tribute band called
the Oslo Ogres.

― John ****ing Lambie, Thursday, 7 August 2003 09:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Awww Nawww!!! In his new job as a Norwegian fisherman Scottish Mick has been eaten whole by a whale. He was taking time out to contemplate who he liked more out of The Field Mice and The Cure and he was going to post the results of his musings on I Love Music. Now we'll never know. Ahoo! It makes ne want to cry on my teddy bear and sing big blue bus by Choo Choo Train, in melancholic sadness.

― Dougie Freedman, Wednesday, 20 August 2003 15:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Scottish Mick RIP 1967-2003.

So sad, to end up being eaten by a whale. A victim of his own deathlist really. It makes me sad, in the same way remembering drinking fizzy strawberry vodka in the park, with a girl you no longer know, listening to a tape she made you of The Fat Tulips, Cellophane, 14 iced bears, the Marigolds, the McTells and the latest Bouquet single, Blub!

three weeks pass...

Geordie Mick has retired to a rest home, called Sleeperbloke, for slightly famous ex members of mid 90's bands. He has a room in the home next door to to Neil Codling who used to be in Suede.

my blackened soul rejoices in the almost overbearing fear and despair
that lurks within the heart of the prolapse maelstrom.
quiver, mortals.

I remember Donald Ross Skinner bumming the little bloke from Fantasy Island whilst singing The Spider.

― sid moony, Tuesday, 30 September 2003 12:18 (twenty-two years ago)

I have a picture painted by Prolapse at one of their gigs (might have ben all-dayer in Kings Cross Arts Depot). And one of the hand-painted vinyl copies of 'Pointless Walks...'. Another of their side-projects was Cha Cha 2000. They are really bloody sadly missed.

― Mog, Tuesday, 30 September 2003 14:49 (twenty-two years ago)

NB Scottish Mick used to do phone-ins on the John Peel show with updates on Kingstonians football team. I think at the time they were sponsored by Cherry Red, though whether this means they played in a Prolapse strip, is unclear.

― Mog, Tuesday, 30 September 2003 14:54 (twenty-two years ago)

What you got a shiny face for?
What you wearing those glasses for, you slimy git?
Your parents must've hated you to call you "Kim"...

They will be sorely missed. ahoo.

I met Mick (the singer) in Paris last week and he said that Mick (the bass player ?) had just got married to someone he met in a pub in the town they used to live in (Lester I think he said). His wife's name is Doreen, and she's quite a bit older than him, but she used to live in Paris.

Scottish Mick has now joined a band with the guy from Cable but finds it difficult to break away from his famous "rants" when performing. He has also opened a ceramic monkey shop in Oslo selling all the simian pottery he has collected from charity shops around the East Midlands over the years. He often just sits there, staring at his monkey pottery, thinking about the time the little fella from Comet Gain bit him on the ear.

I met Scottish Mick in Coalville once at a Hugh Grant convention, he had whale bones sown into his y-fronts and was holding Lionel Ritchie's clay head in the air like a trophy.

It's kind of fun that their first incarnation began just as Dog Faced Hermans ended and Wire took a hiatus cos they're both massively in there too
