Many things he said about Africa, America and Iceland turned out to be true. He never told me he had an olympic medal, however after leaving school and being an excellent long distance runner, he was the only smoker who ever beat me in a race ( then i became a smoker :-) ).

[andy1964]

No to New Order (Joy Division yes). And no I dont smoke a pipe, however in marcus's and my flat, i remember breaking up cigarettes with Gene October from Chelsea to create roll ups, when he stayed at our house.

Yes, I remember going to the Marples for all the gigs, brilliant.Even when there wasn't bands on, we'd meet downstairs and then go upstairs, as people have said, talking on the stairs was great.

What happened to Mick Fidler from Artery?Is he still pacing the earth?
