Bad_Hair_Day Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 I went to school with Dave Aston - Azzo as he was known. I remember one day he came to school with a parachute and tried jumping off the school bank to see if he could fly! Not sure what he's up to these days though, but he's definitely not the tall market research bloke on the Moor (unless he's aged alot since we left school!).

steev Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Ah, Dave Aston, that takes me back... I used to work at the Condom Shop, Dave used to work at The Fountain Bar. At the time I knew him he did claim to be vaguely related to Jarvis Cocker... Last time I saw him he was walking around dressed as a vicar (complete with freshly-shaved bald patch) carrying a bible & one of them incense thingamajiggumies blessing people on Fargate. Great days indeed smedleydude... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I havn't seen him for a few years now, come to think of him. I was in the same year as him at City, and would hope that the big daft lad is still knocking around somewhere, dwarf or no dwarf....

Norbert Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Azzo used to play keyboards for our band at City School "The Electric Armpits". He was a decent chap with lots of bottle - he did a solo concert playing what sounded like "Kids In America" but singing "kids with hysteria" I think. He helped write our "christmas single" which was much appreciated by Frank Sidebottom. Not seen him since the Fargate days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antics Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 The tall dude with the clipboard... there was a sketch on The League of Gentlemen a couple of years ago that reminded me so much of him, it must have been based on this dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
