I'm reminded of my frequent pre-show updates from Boston in 2008.

John,well done on your 200th Pogues gig mate,that takes some doing.Can this be you,an old girlfriend of mine was a student in Freiburg,Germany and she once told me of a guy who got her into the Pogues gig in 1991 or 92,when Joe Strummer was in the band,if this is you,my ex-KYM was well pleased and impressed that she got to see The Pogues and Joe Strummer and all for the price of a beer,make no bones about if you had asked KYM.you would have got more then beer that night.But Kym said you were a propper gent,only too willing to help a fellow Pogues fan.We split up in 1994,i moved to Perth,Kym stayed in Sydney,but she never forgot you John.So once again,congratulations and i hope your liver stands up for the next 200!
