Pub?

[GHA EFM]

Not too sure yet, Zeal. I need more facts. Plus I'm not really in EFM, am I?

 

EFM'sL. This review wasn't mine...:

Amazon.co.uk Review

With their esoteric artwork and brilliantly off-the-wall rhetoric (they claim to oppose "normal existence" and "rose-tinted revivalism"), Sheffield's Action Spectacular are more art-pop concept than unassuming indie combo; more Liechtenstein than Llama Farmers. Naturally, such pretension would smack of empty braggadocio were the accompanying tunes not equally well considered. Yet, by and large, they are; with "Music in the Sun" sighing and swaying like a woozy Beta Band and "Roxy Music" sporting a lorry-load of excellent Eno-esque effects. Though their influences may snap and crackle clearly throughout From Here On In It's A Riot, Action Spectacular's saving grace is their boundless imagination. "Every Second Counts", for example, puts a curiously pastoral spin on the Happy Mondays' baggy blueprint, while "General Lee" mixes its musical metaphors like an even bolder Badly Drawn Boy. This is an audacious debut. --Sarah Dempster

Laz. I merely changed my avatar (from Propagandhi to Action Spectacular) because I couldn't find a picture of AS - From Here On In It's A Riot on www.hmv.co.uk

 

EFM'sL opened my eyes to Amazon.

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Not going myself, but everyone else is including Costello and the youngsters I think.

 

Backpackers in Kings Cross at 8pm for their free drinks deal and then onto the Astoria2 in Tottenham Court Road for the Indie night.

 

I may try and get along to the Indie Night after Elton John if I can.

 

 

[GHA EFM]

Hmm. Well. As I said. It's that, or St. Albans. London or St. Albans. Arsenal or St. Albans City. I think we both know which one I would choose. And, as I said, I'm not in EFM anyway.

[Colin Zeal EFM]

You are in EFM. Ignore Thorns.

 

 

[GHA EFM]

I'm kind of stuck in the middle though here really aren't I?

 

You say I'm in, Thorns says I'm out, MAD says no-one likes me and Laz can't handle his alco-pops. Thorns says I could have a temporary membership to go out, whilst EFM'sL says that I'm to thank for him buying Action Spectacular. webbo never turns up to matches anymore, and cynic believes he's only asking. Gibbo wants to move grounds whilst CANV secretly supports City.

 

It's all too confusing.

 

Long Live GHA!!!

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Thorns cannot say who's "in" or "out" of EFM. Ignore him.

 

 

[ESG]

just go...

 

as long as you ruffians steer clear of Farringdon then all will be right with the world...

[GHA EFM]

just go...

 

isn't really a reliable, valuable, feasible argument considering I'm thinking which one to go to. Surely the EFM trip would be more battering money-wise, and I suppose, in general, but I support the Saints more than Arsenal.

[Colin Zeal EFM]

The EFM night shouldn't cost that much.

 

Travelcard

 

£7 for Backpackers (drinks free)

 

£5 to get into Indie Club

 

+ drinks in Indie Club

 

 

Thirty quid maybe??

 

 

[GHA EFM]

True. I'll grant you the fact that it is indeed an interesting proposition. I'll consider the options available to me and make a valid and informed decision when the time is nigh.

[HKS_EFM_GialloBlu]

GHA just go.......You appear to be inventing excuses not to.

 

By the way chaps, what do I need to do to gain honorary membership of EFM, a la AFF?

 

In my favour I was sick in a bag on the Coach back fron Aldershot last season (I blamed motion sickness) and am the founder member of the Hong Kong Saints supporters club.

 

Next steps EFM, Hong Kong Branch ? What do you think ? EFM Triad or what ?

[Colin Zeal EFM]

EFM Honorary Membership comes to very few.

 

How handy are you with a cider can?

How many matches have you been thrown out of?

How many run-ins with non-league stewards have you had?

 

 

If an EFM member yaks up, it's not due to "motion sickness", it is due to drinking 20 pints.

 

If an EFM member yaks up, they don't do it "in a bag", they do it anywhere they f**kin' like!!

 

 

I'll put it to the committee...

 

 

[HKS_EFM_GialloBlu]

Colin (Mr Zeal sir), to answer your questions:-

 

Excellent, none and none.

 

'Motion sickness' was an attempt to disguise the fact that I'd drunk at least 20 pints.

 

I didn't want to do it in a bag, but I was sitting next to Ade (the physio who never waves) at the time, and he thrust it under my mouth to save himself being covered in slime.

 

 

 

 

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Have you ever shagged a hill-top girl?

Have you ever taken a sofa on a train?

Pissed into the River Thames from London Bridge station?

 

Very few are chosen. We so far have Peter Lewis, Lee Harding, John Kendall, Simon Le Bon, Kevin Mudd, Ryan Moran, Councillor MacMillan and Her Majesty, The Queen.

 

I'm sure you will agree it is a very exclusive group.

 

 

[Laz]

Have you ever dropped an E?

[Colin Zeal EFM]

EFM Honorary Membership is not something you can apply for. You are either chosen or you are not. It's also not something you can turn down if chosen.

 

Oh, I forgot Beckett Hollenbach - he's the latest EFM Honorary Member.

 

 

[Laz]

I suppose your Hilltop days are over Zealster?

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Yeah - these days I'm over the hill(-top)!!

I was thinking more of you marital status rather than your impending old age and thirtysomethingness.
