    Just got home from work (it's the holidays - damn those year 11'a and their need for revision!!!) and a parcel from the states was waiting for me with my blue, white and red wristbands and a surprise from my boyfriend - a homemade "Hard to Imagine" t-shirt! How class is he?!?!? Shame he can't go -bastards at Orange wouldn't give him time off!

    Twenty-twenty-twenty four hours to go
    I wanna be sedated
    Nothing to do
    Nowhere to go
    I wanna be sedated
    Just get me to the airport (bus -stop)
    And put me on a plane (bus)
    Hurry hurry hurry before I go insane
    I can’t control my fingers
    I can’t control my brain
    Oh no oh no
    Just put me in a wheelchair
    And get me to the show
    Hurry hurry hurry before I go loco
    I can’t control my fingers
    I can’t control my toes
    Oh no oh no

    Where these lyrics written with the Astoria gig in mind?!??!

    I'll see everyone there. I'm off to catch the train.

    I still can't believe that this is happening. 6 years I've waited to see PJ again. I never thought I'd see them in such a small place either. AHHHHHHHHH

    It was mentioned earlier in the thread about getting sweatbands like the ones eddie and the guys wear in a lot of their dvds (how sad are we?!) Blue white and red stripe. I managed to get one off ebay with the help of dunkman!!!!

    Shiiit man...a head sweat band on me would look soooo bad I'd deserve to be arrested for embarrasing the human race. I remember wearing those wrist sweat bands as a kid in the 70's - old man - when John Macenroe (Is that how you spell it?) was all the rage. NEVER AGAIN!! AGGGGHHHHHH!!!! (The wrist bands are probably pretty o.k. But the head band is a NO NO). Thanks anyway : )

    I might lie to my sisiter and tell her it's really cool and everyone will be wearing them - and get her to wear it! Just to laugh at her!

    Thing is - she'd probably look cool in it! I wasn't born til '79 - so to me it's retro!!!!

    Nope - they're not - but fuck it! If they are good enough for Eddie - they're good enough for us, the humble devotees!!!!! :-)

    I think head sweat bands could be the new fashion thing (if people were paid enough!!!!)

    One thing that I do wish I'd kept from my childhood is...you ever seen them patches for elbows and knees which were sown on trousers and jackets when they started to fray? They were a big thing. I had loads of em. One in particular was classic - a picture of a hand giving the 'thumbs up' sign, and the words 'Nice one Cyril' above it and 'Nice one son' below. Brilliant! if I had one now I'd sow it to my forehead.

    Where did you order them from? I ordered mine after you, I'm sure. I emailed him and asked him to post them asap - and he did, from the states!

    That would be fucking class - the only sew on patchs I had was a Bros one on my jeans when I was about 6!!!!

    No i got mine off a random website, ebay didn't have any. It says on their website it should take a week at max and i gave them longer than that. I guess with the bank holiday they screwed up.
    I dunno whether to hang around here tonight and see if they come tomorrow and then drive like a maniac to catch the train tomorrow morning or whether to drive up to Bath tonight (where im meant to be staying) and just get the train tomorrow, as i had planned to do. Hmmmm. I'm so pissed off about it.

    Thats a bummer, the bloke I got them off on ebay had shit loads - only cost me £3 or something as well!
