Well, there was a t-shirt, at least. But nothoing really cool loike an Oirish decoder roing or anythoing.


Now you're onto something Lil'C! We think alike. I'm toying with the idea of designing a lunchbox, a set of playing cards and a chess set (hmmmmmm, which piece shall I make Joey??).

Oi don't have the patoience to do the decoder roing though!

Would you reconsider the answer if you were paid a million pound each?


Well, I would. Can't speak for the others though. Again, like the Jay-Z thing, it's never going to happen...unless an eccentric billionaire with a penchant for this kind of thing comes calling. Or a Russian oligarch, hmm it's sounding more likely now, I'm started to get excited. Unfortunately none of you will be able to come as the crowd will be made up of hitmen, prostitutes and footballers only. Oh, and we will play the usual set, so you won't miss much.


If i win the Euro Millions rollover before my Wedding next year i'll be in touch... i cant promise russian prostitutes mind, however with the influx of Polish workers in Wigan of late there might be an Eastern European theme in that area ;-)

Aye, and I promise one as well, should I hit the MegaMillions. And an open bar, on my honor. Of course, prostitutes, oligarchs, footballers, and foreign dignitaries (excepting Mr Chevron and Fintan, natch) will NOT be invited.

Presumably those Medusans who are hitmen, prostitutes or footballers (or any combination of the three) would be invited? Not sure how many that accounts for...

Re: MySpace link.

Thanks DZM. Stay out of the shadows, you never know what may be lurking...

ps We don't actually need any Russian prostitutes, it's just that they are de rigeur at this sort of event. Shane is a terrible sucker for hitmen though.

Russian oligarchs have disgraced themselves once more demonstrating pure lack of eccentricity:

Well, maybe next time..

Well, if I would ask the right candidates among my clients, I guess I could provide both the Russian prostitutes and the hitmen 8) :roll:

The moment this becomes a "fan club" I'm gone. I'm a crazy fuck hanging onto a raft. DzM is captain. Big ass fucking fish friend. lots of totally non-Pogues political discussion. Guy with a speach impediment. guy in a wheel chair who rocks. ticket info. a bit of banter with the band (which is nice). Another Dutchman with an anal obsession ( :wink: ). And....our favorite Liverpoolian. That's the raft I'm on. Cheers everyone!

Geeky fanclub members

Post Sat May 24, 2008 4:37 am

OK, this isn't a club, but we are members and we are fans. It sounds cool to say we're a bunch of crazy fucks hanging onto a raft, but we're still a bunch of geeky fans as uncool as that might seem, hanging about soaking up all the info about our heroes. That's the truth of it.

PS Howdy Eric!!

Why do you want to write that? If we want to think of ourselves as more than geeky fans, if we want to believe we're outcasts, savants, or crazy fucks, then so what? Maybe we do think Medusa is special, so unique it's like a raft upon the ocean of utter crap, and maybe we're fooling ourselves. But so what?

Play along with us, for goodness' sakes! Let us have our fantasies and our starfucking geekery if that's what you see!

The Pogues Non Fanclub

Post Sun Jun 01, 2008 1:33 am

Geez Little C Cup, you did take it up a notch! I never suggested that you stop being a crazy fuck! Go ahead! I would rather be that too than an autograph hunting geeky fan (although thanks to a special friend I do have a treasured autograph even though it isn't actually in my possession) but hey, it's not too bad to be dorky. It reminds me of the Gary Larson cartoon where the dogs are imagining their names as being Conan the Barbarian etc, but in reality their names are Spot and Digger and such.
