First show in Ireland last night
In Cork
It’s been 5 years since I played here last
So I was a wee bit excited
And it was a great show
I love singing the BASTARD song over here
And when everyone sings along, it sounds like they’re saying
“BUSTERRRD”
I really do love the shit out of the Irish accent
Got to meet Daniel, who’s a regular reader of the blog
He passed on his best wishes to Miss 6, Miss 4, & of course Diamond too
A lovely bloke
.
Then there was Robin
One of my facebook mates
He writes funny little comments all the time
And last night I got to meet his lovely wife Ruth too
They’d flown in from Leeds for the show
As they were in California when we played closer to them
I actually ‘fessed up to Robin that I thought he was a girl
On facebook that is
He’s got one of those tiny profile pics, and oh, I don’t know
Now that I know he has a penis is a bloke, it seems silly
But for whatever reason, I’m assumed that ‘Robin’ was a sheila
Sorry mate!

Quick story:
like there’s any such thing coming from me!
The last time I was in Cork, it was the last show of a 2 month UK/Ireland tour
It was 2003
Diamond and Miss 6 (who was Miss 1 at the time) were out on the road with us
It was a tour of many pranks
I tried to stay out of it, ’cause while I love playing pranks on people
I’m a complete sourpuss not that great about having it done to me
That’s just the way us grumpy chicks roll I guess
As it was the last day, and I wouldn’t be seeing any of the crew for a long time
I figured I could play a prank and hopefully get away with it, before anyone had time to pay me back
Now, I’m not sure whose idea it actually was
But as the crew were driving back to England, a long drive too, we decided to put something in the truck for them to ‘spice’ up the trip a bit
So far on the tour, mum had already left stickers, dolls & blow up sheep in there for the boys
For some reason, it was decided that we’d leave one of Miss 1’s shitty nappies under their seat
Where they would smell it
But never find it
I know, gross huh?
And for all the parents out there who have/had teeething babies
You KNOW what that does to their poo right?
Kinda makes it even more putrid/toxic/rancid/nuclear
Well, Miss 1 was teething, and it was BAD
And you know what?
Those guys drove for 440 miles, and didn’t notice a fucking thing
.
And I’m sitting here gagging just thinking about it
Imagine trying to get away with that now
It would be so much worse
‘Cause there is no Miss 1 anymore
.
And I’d totally have to use one of Dad’s nappies
