The Medusa Fora

melkweg restaurant?? there is a Ben & Jerry's just round the corner..

Ben and Jerrys!well spotted that man,maybe a Cherry Garcia would be an alternative choice,been to that particular B and J many times,Amsterdam has just about got everything for everyone,which is why its a special place.Its a pity the Pogues are only playing one show in Nederland,there are other great venues in TILBURG,ROTTERDAM and GRONINGEN,which would easily sell-out.

The owner of the Irish Bar around the corner of Melkweg is dead, apparently a case of suicide after Heineken-brewery made him a proposal on how to 'reorganize' his debts ...

John's secret is he started going to Pogues gigs before you were born. That's either an unfair advantage or you just weren't thinking ahead.

So its my parents fault!? ITS SO UNFAIR !!!!!!!!!! *throws immediate tantrum*

I wouldn't be suprised if he was responsible for a few suicides himself. He wasn't 'the nicest man around'. This doesn't mean he deservers it or so.

Are my ears burning?i have my bat well oiled[as in linseed]for the double century.....do i get the freedom of Amsterdam? or just a Cherry Garcia? See you in Munsterdam!

haha.

do you remember your first gig John? I think Philip asked but you never replied

My first POGUES gig?Digbeth Civic Hall December 1984,i even had to travel long distance to see the Pogues play in my hometown[BRUM]Actually i was returning from Luton where i had seen the Villa lose[not for the first time!]i was so looking forward to this gig and the POGUES did not disappoint,also on the bill that night were Terry and Gerry and The Drongoes For Europe, happy days!

Hey. Long time no post.

Amsterdam will be my first Pogue's gig outside the comfort of the UK and I look forward to it muchly. I am also flying in on the jump-seat of a KLM flight and look forward to that just as much.
Which band has the joy of supporting The Pogues. I am sure it has been answered a few times but I can't find it.

Hope everyone has a great gig and well done John on 200 gigs, nice work if you can get it and all...
