That tape's worth a fortune now. One went on ebay for £51 recently.

Scottish Mick has taken a break from flogging cermaic monkeys and has now become a fisherman counter in Oslo. He has his own coracle, which he is very proud of, taking to calling it "Egi" or "Ogi" depending on whether he is listening to the Krankies or Neu on his walkman at that moment in time.

His job is to make sure none of the fisherman fall in off the riverbank, and save them with the help of his coracle if they do. So far 3 fisherman have fallen in, one of whom was bizarrely Harvey Williams! (ex Another Sunny day, Field Mice)

And here is a picture of Mick and his lovely Coracle

weirdest rumour i've heard is that there is going to be a Prolapse float at the next Berlin Love Parade. Scottish Mick is growing his gay moustache again after arranging to meet up with someone from the Gay City Rollers for some "armpit fun"

kjøp deg en hyggelig nye 'coracle' fra micky derricksons coracle buttiken og få en kerammik aper fri!

Scottish Mick har en salg for hans butikk , " Kingston av det Gynge " selger av mange av hans ceramic apekatt under pari pris. Han har fremstilt ettall med en foto av geordie mick's ansikt opp på , og skal sende den å seg idet en aprilsnarren!

jeg ville gerne købe en coracle fra butikken. Er det et flot billede af Geordie? Jeg også sælger noget plastisk væsler og lækatter in min butik i København. De koster fem kroner et stykke.

Those nice people at Sorted Records ( http://www.sorted-records.org.uk ) have put up the video of the Inside ov a butchers shop live at the Rough Trade shop. This was a gig featuring Scottish Mick and members of the Freed Unit, which was invaded by a gun wielding maniac who threatened to shoot them all,(I didn't think they were THAT bad.) an incident which made the national press at the time.

Wow ! The Black Pope should be on The X Factor !!

I hated it when that guy pulled the gun.

I know how you feel. Imagine my predicament that time Geordie fell off stage singing "Theme from Ming mang mong".

It's alright for you, he hardly ever even bothers to tune me up nowadays, I just sit here in the back room, collecting dust with the Catherine Wheel and Ride 12 inches.

Pah - you've got easy mate, I've been stuck in his Mum's attic for 25 years!

That's not funny - I'm going to get you kicked off this notice board just as soon as I've tried to sleep with your girlfriend

Apparently Scottish mick's coracle has a hole in it so he's just goin round in circles in an oslo fjord, sinking very gradually. Even Harvey Another Sunny Day couldn't help, although he did write a song about how he couldn't get any girls, which didn't help the Scottish one much.

prolapse fans argue whether "the italian flag" or "pointless walks..." is better

I'd like to wish everyone on this thread a Merry Ming Mang Mong Christmas and a Prosperous Prolapse new year.

Hear Hear ! I shall be seeing in the new year dancing naked to "Pointless walks from dismal places" as usual.

I prefer the italian flag, but agree that nude is the only way to listen to Prolapse.

I like to fondle my Prolapse while thinking of Geordie Mick and listening to "Back Saturday".

I love you all, as ever.

are people alive

yes.

Moi aussi

suiveur

is this thread rockist/anti rockist?

geordie mick once shat in a bag while on acid. discuss

hey kids, start jumping up and down like idiots!
the longawaited Prolapse/Pastels collaboration might be coming sooner than you think!
after a high level summit over the xmas period, Scottish Mick was quoted as saying "aye, its gonna be crackin. me an the Pastels ur gonnae record th ultimate c86 song. ahm gonna drink fizzy ribena oot a jug, sorta like th Thirteenth Flair Elevaters but mair twee. wit? gonnae gieus a pint?"
Stephen Pastels statement read thus : "keep that drunken oaf away from me or i'll set Aggi on him. got it?"

Stephen looks like Slinky John.

Klassik.

I am, like, so totally listening to the Inside Ov A Rough Trade Shop right now...

(Oh yeah, to stay in keeping with the tone of this thread, I heard that Scottish Mick has assembled an army of ANGRY VIKINGS and is coming over to destroy all former members of Dalmation Rex & The Eigentones with pointy things, or something along those lines.)

geordie wick had a click in a shag disgust

Ming Mang Mong are playing a valentine's day special at 'the Lansdowne' in Leicester. As a special romantic treat, Geordie Mick is allowing all the girls in the audience to sit on his knee, one by one, for 10 seconds each. Mick will also grant the first 10 men in the audience 'a knee sit' as long as they don't do it 'in a gay way'.

Not to be outdone, Scottish Mick is planning on parachuting into the Lansdowne from Oslo, and invading the Ming Mang Mong gig by jumping up and down on all the tables in the pub until they break, rendering them useless. He is then going to have a face off with Geordie Mick MC style! The two will try to 'out rap' each other into the small hours, using their shared experiences of leicester old man pubs back in the day. Should be an experience to remember!

Apparently the MC face off went without a hitch, although Geordie's famous cider filled glokenspeil is now very, very, very, out of tune!

I was there all day and I saw nothing except Kevin 'Bloody' Hewick waiting at the bus stop opposite.

Here's One of Scottish Mick's raps from t'other night at the Lansdowne, when he was trying to win the MC face off with geordie. Here he attempts to berate the angry bassist by reminding him of the time he couldn't take his cider at the King Richard the III pub, on Highcross Street.

"Oh Micky, running round and round,
Watch your footing, don't break the ground.
Naughty Micky, kicking arse,
You like drinking cider, you don't smoke grass.
Oh naughty Micky, making hay,
With cider drink - You're not gay.
But take this heed, warrior brave,
Your weakness is how you treat your slave.
You scolded him for drinking gin,
And because he made an horrendous din,
So in your cider he placed laxatives,
And now you've got your girl in fits,
As she watches you poop a stream of cack,
As you're wearing your bunnymen mac."

And here was Geordie Mick's slightly defensive reply!

"Now I'm sonic and bionic,
I don't drink gin and tonic,
As I feel the chronic like a spider,
And drink a little cider.
To the world in my office,
I send another missive.
Is there anybody out there,
Or has everyone gone off it?
I deliberate on the moment,
Will I ever have atonement?
The now feels 'wow',
As I imagine my opponent,
Reading this recital,
I don't suppose this line is vital,
As I'm feeling fairly tribal,
As I sense the awe insightful,
Cause of much perspective,
In this civilised community,
But with impunity currently,
I wait for something to amuse me,
But I've lost my sense of humour,
It fell out of my brain,
But I'll try to scrape it up again,
Because it is my main game."

Scottish Mick countered back with this awesome Rabbie Burns alike verse:

Ming Mang Mong Man
The way you carry on and
Drink your white cider
like a chronic spider
is causing irritation
like colonic irrigation
spouting streams of shit
from your nonsense talking lips
You're off yer heid
and what you need
is a braw wee coracle
to soothe awa yer pain
cool doon yer brane
Ye think yer like an oracle
preaching in Spain
but yer just insane
Yer more like an orifice
and I'm getting sick of this

At this point Geordie Mick and the Percy-Posse huffed out of the room and pulled faces through the window of the Landsdown until the bouncer told them to stop it or get lost. They then returned to the bar with their parkas between their legs and glowered at Scottish Mick over their White Ciders with strawberry daiquiri chasers.

Anyone got an e-mail address for Scottish Mick?

We're off to play Emmaboda in Sweden this summer, we need a ukulele technician and I reckon if we take a bottle of special Irn Bru then we could tempt him down from the north...

Boy, it really is hard to find a (CD) copy of "Pointless Walks to Dismal Places". Anyone have any ideas?

yeah real difficult http://www.cherryred.co.uk/cherryred/artists/prolapse.htm

Fantastic - thank you! Anyone know when the (CD) of Ming Mang Mongs new single is out? It's a very fashionable mash up of Stereolab and the soundtrack to Peter Jacksons latest box office smash and is rumoured to be titled Ping Mang Kong. At any rate, this promises to be the first retrospectively seminal nu-jazz work of February 2006.

Bored of being beaten in the MC face off thing, Geordie Mick has cunningly turned his attention to starting off yet another goth revival. This time he has enlisted the help of Eddie Dark (ex drummer for Lawnmower Deth) who has helped him write the lyrics for this toe tapping classic, soon to be top of the playlist at XFM. This could be this years surprise breakthrough hit for the Ming Mang Mongsters. Jo Wiley loves it already, apparently....It's called simply, Blackness.

"blackness"

"blackness
is black
so black
so very black
so very very black
it's blackness
like my heart
is black
filled with blackness
which is black
so black
so very black
so very very black
if i was french
i would be noir
which sounds cool
but is not
because of my blackness
so very very very black"

This thread should never be allowed to die.
But also: really, really want a copy (CD) of their first album, which I once owned ("Pointless Walks to Dismal Places"). There are some used on Amazon for US$28 - does anyone have any better ideas about how / where to buy it?

You can find Pointless Walks to Dismal Places (and others) @ emusic.com

I showed up in '96 to see Stereolab & these guys blew me away.

OK, so I've never heard Prolapse or even read this thread, but I'm sick and fuckin' tired of seeing the damn Prolapse thread everyday, so DUD.

You are Geordie Mick and I claim my £5
