I am a fan of Graham Greene although, oddly, not Brighton Rock.I have never heard of Spizz Oil, and I feel like I just said that in the voice of a school matron.
fab to hear this again. 600!!! nearly every one a gem, ridiculous or a complete stinker. You're a total entertainer Philip, a complete one off. Absolutely brilliant!!!
There's a cup of tea here with your name on it.
@philinareike HEY, you've got a new avatar!...it's got.......HOW did you do THAT?.....OH! Just noticed the message from @kemiladashdot (above!)....Don't tell me, he done it , didn't he? ...Very clever! Btw, I'm starting to struggle with my 'Dylan Covers' so I may make tomorrow nights' one ( Thur) the last. I may be joining you for your new theme for Friday. What was it again?
@debutch Yes, Kevin made them for me to celebrate .....600 limited edition mugs.....wanna buy one? Friday begins the long ProgWeekend.....I was thinking...surely there's a Graham Greene related Dylan Cover?
@philipnareike True but Prince Philllip seems to have more than his fair share. Just noticed theres 51 pages of Philllllip cups!!!
Your jam caused me to watch this Spizz live https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9RuirwPQyE even if you don't watch the whole thing, there's a brilliantly theatrical first few minutes.
If it weren't for Kevin Bacon there would be little choice. There's a gap in the market there.
Maybe a express deed poll so Kevins can change there names to Philllllips and get some new tea shirts and mugs.
@philipnareike YES! I 'd love to buy one!...Prog, eh? OK, I've got one already for Friday. What's the tag called?..'longprogweekend' is it?...Finally,..Graham Greene?..are you kidding? That's FAR too highbrow & cerebral for a back-street punk like me. That would involve stuff like, er...."reading" and "thinking"..Good grief!.....Actually, I've read or seen "The Destroyers", "Brighton Rock" & "The third man" but that's my limit, I'm afraid!
@philipnareike Wow 600 - congrats - and loving your new mug : ) ( thought it was Kev's handy work). Let us sit upon the ground and tell sad stories of the death of kings and drink mugfulls of absinthe in celebration of the 600 passing choons - that's all the drama of the occasion : )
@BladeRunner I'm glad you're enjoying the Graham Greene stuff. He was born just about 6 miles from where I grew up...Spizz was a band who I liked for a while when I was a kid at school...they changed their name every year, but always had Spizz in it somewhere. Perhaps their most famous song as Spizzenergi was 'Where's Captain Kirk?' from 1980, it was the first ever number 1 in the British Independent Chart which started that year http://youtu.be/ivZ3q5NFXpY
@BladeRunner | think my favourite name they had was The Spizzles, for obvious reasons....just one small 's' away from Pokerface's favourite chewy snack! Hahahaha!! :D
@lindatee Oh thanks Linda.....yes, Kevin did the mug for me...yes I'll be filling my new mug to the brim with absinthe later on tonight....Cheers .. I think it's a good thing Kev's Kaff's shut down .....for the good of humanity....I believe it may be re-opening as something else soon....watch this space!

A new Spizz track to me.
MadameZia
Huge comparisons can be made between Greene and Ian Fleming in fact... By the way congrats on your 600th jam :)

@debutch Phillips have no problems with mugs funnily enough. He left this link on my thread http://www.zazzle.co.uk/philips+mugs The internet is now complete.
philipnareike
@kemiladashdot http://www.zazzle.co.uk/kevin+tshirts I'm getting you the Kevin Bacon & Eggs one for when you'reworking in Kev's Kaff
philipnareike
@kemiladashdot There doesn't seem to be as many Kevin T Shirts as there are Philip Mugs

@kemiladashdot I didn't realise there was 51 pages! Incredible! Thanks for that Spizz link....I knew he was still touring
philipnareike
@kemiladashdot But I noticed..there's actually 85 pages of Kevin T shirts
Astromonkey
He's supporting Toyah next month ....
kemiladashdot
@philipnareike Have you tried drinking tea in a T shirt? I know, I know the name T shirt is deceptive. I feel I've been conned!
debutch
@kemiladashdot I bet there's at least one poor soul out there somewhere who has bought every single Philip mug...

@debutch bit harsh calling @philipnareike a poor soul, you can never have too many cups
