apparently the reason I have been drunk for the past 2 and a half weeks is due to the birth of jesus christ and stuff. So (late) Happy Christmas and New Year people.

Also while I am here cheers for all the support at the december gigs in london leeds and barrow.

January sees us back up north and back to school wahooo! more dates to follow.................

god speed........................................and other nicotics x

sorry for my absence it definately has nothing to do with being a lazy fucker because dom has the monopoly on that and I am safe to say this because he is infact so lazy he will never even get round to reading this. fact.

After many pestering emails I have decided to get back to my blogging....

We have infact been quite busy with gigs in sheffield and london to name 2.

gigs in leeds sheffield and london over the next month........check myspace etc......

but until next time I leave you with a verse from the bible

Proverbs 27

"for a prostitute is a deep pit and a wayward wife is a narrow well."

easy mofos

I am not dead

and what the hell happened to August

in anyone has it will they please return it. It is no longer funny.

after my recent poetry success I have rewritten the last single by the manic street preachers "your love alone"

It is to the same tune....................

but is now entitled "James Dean Bradfield"

Most of your name.........
is not your own
not your own
not your own.

In the broom cupboard glory days you had it all (including ed the duck)
then you became executive producer of top of the pops
and fucked it for everyone (including me)
wanker

As I am a highly skilled writer I thought I would share some of my latest poetry with you..................

Ode to Judy (of Richard and Judy Fame)

Oh Judy
I imagine shagging you
is like shagging a bean bag

by Peter Mills aged 24 3/4

Pretty simple on the surface you may think but lets break it down to find its true meaning....

In the second line of the only stanza, "I imagine" there is a gentle use of aliteration emphasising the use of first person so it is as if the reader themselves is thinking about copulating with Judy Finnigan.

The repetition of "shagging" emphasises the harsh"ag" sound and leaves the reader in no doubt of the hidious imaginary task. The harshness stands out once more with "shagging" been juxtaposed with the homely image we take from the use of the word "bean"

The poem is drawn to a close with clever yet uneasy use of para rhyme "shag" and "bag" and of course we can take sereval different meanings from the word "bag".
The lack of punctuation adds to the poems simplicity and gives a gentle flow to the piece.

The poet is clearly a genious.

always check for paper of any kind before taking a dump.

just to correct dans "blog" I actually lost 3 pedals so there

I also should add we could not have got through our equipment difficulties i.e all of it lost, broken, or covered in shit without the excellent technical help and spiritual guidance of sir Barry Joyce and his trusty side kick Opey.

thankyou

what a fortnight it has been.............I would love to recall some of the adventure but fear I may struggle................

Right lets do this.........

Glastonbury what a stonker

A packed Leftfield stage saw us open glastonbury in style.............

Must thank the barrow massive for there support and locating both pieces of rickenbacker.............

also the gear diehard from the rest of the nation thanks for making it worth while

we love you too

The rest of glastonbury admitly is a bit of a blur I believe we played the strummerville stage on the friday and this was good......

cheers to spoon

highlights shirley bassey
lowlights losing or breaking most of my equipment
extremely dim lights van being stuck in the mud till wednesday and me having to get the train home like a bloody civilian the outrage

Still feeling the affects of the glastonbury syrup we headed north for the second of this summers major festivals...........SANDFEST at sandside lodge school. The weather held out and we had a belting time learning some new dance moves along the way cheers to the relics boys for helping us out on stage too. We look forward to returning......................

Saturday we were at the Canteen, a sell out crowd ensured one hell of a mosh pit a sea of gear t shirts literally beat the shit out of each other excellent work.

Stage invasion - excellent - but the next person to stand on my brand new pedals (replacing the ones lost at glasto) was going to get a beating. Stage dives galore and gear with a 6 piece band! Cheers to Little Pete and Rob Kav for the excellent conga and cornet work. Can I say excellent any more times, probably.

A small note too end........... Don't be blinded by science, dan may be able to up load a picture but when it comes to blog craftmanship you know where to go

"Millsy, Millsy"

I remain intact...............but flakey

I had an email from one of our youngest fans the other day. Little Johnny aged nine and a half from nuneaton he simply wrote

Dear Pete
why are your blogs significantly better than everyone elses?

Well Johnny
Thats simple, Its obvious really, it is because I am significantly better than everyone else.


Any how this got me thinking if any more of you have any questions please get in touch and I will dedicate some of my blog to being your agony uncle. Your slightly weird uncle the one who gets slightly too drunk at family parties.
Yes you can write to...... Uncle Knobhead

look forward to hearing from you

drill time is significantly better than hammer time
