Last March, the day I was going to see Shane in Southsea in the evening (one of the last Popes gigs), I stepped out of my front door in the morning to hear Tuesday Morning blast from our milkman's float. Certainly a good omen.

And they played Fairytale at the Hampton Court ice rink last year, but then that's more to be expected.

Miss Otis Regrets/Just One of Those Things wafted from the third flour of book supermarket is normal too (more or less) I suppose. Seller of video/DVD department was pleasing himself with Poguevision as I discovered (rushed upstairs before realizing what it was, sheer reflex). Nothing to write home about.

But what about planetarium?during photo/art exhibition dedicated to India? (well, it's supposed to be indian exhibition but was impudently usurped by krishaists

). I was shoked (in good sense of course) hearing sounds of Fiesta there. Two boys were playing comp or slot machine in a dim corner...

1000 is trifle. I am looking forward to (and preparing for) the 10 000th.

44

(5 or 44 - who cares - just a matter of time and humour)

How strange.

Perhaps I am going blind.

The very first time I unexpectedly heard the Pogues was in a movie on TV some years ago. Maybe some of the mambers from 6-7 years ago remember. I still haven't been able to find it on DVD. The movie/documentrary was "I'm a Man You Don't Meet Every Day", and contained, nothing but Pogues songs, and a 'live' appearance by Shane on stage in a pub. I had the damn thing recorded, but soon lost it. Excellent movie BTW.

The next time I unexpectedly heard (Shane) was on the Jesus & Mary Chain album Stone & Dethroned. I couldn't immediately place the voice. Then to my surprise shortly after, Snake came out on CD.

One day, I finally got a piece of vinyl with Shanne Bradley on it. I then thought I recognised the tune, and believe I had heard it a couple years ealier between programs on CBC radio.

Following this, I don't think there was any other time I heard the pogues anywhere other than from my own CD player, until one pup-crawl I was at a pub called Pogue-Fado, and they were playing IISFFGWG.

'Fiesta' was recently playing in the background in a pub in 'Coronation Street' (not The Rovers Return!)

You are right! I heard it also.

Not that I spend all day watching soaps, you understand.

Good God man. How can you stand the heat?!? Ive had many a family member and friend attend that school yet I could never understand how they dealt with that dry heat all year long.

Haha, I've been in Arizona for about 8 years- I don't find it to be too bad. It is definitely getting colder now, as in time to wear pants.

I met an Englishman at a party last night at some apartment complex. He is going to UA as an exchange student. We had a great Pogues discussion.

Is the Englishman have Irish heritage cause here it's weird only Irish people seem to like the pogues and non Irish seem to tend away and say the Pogues (Are to country for them and about that time i smack them)

In July I was playing at a music festival on the Isle of Bute. After hearing us soundcheck the guys behind the bar put the whole live at Brixton album on. Emm... well, I know it's not very exciting now!
