UNCUT featured

We get a nice mention in this months UNCUT feature update on the Smiths see below... Huge thanks be to Simon at UNCUT for this. I spent this afternoon in TK Max where I got a furry birthday coat and a pair of brown 70s style striped pants. All I need now is a grandad shirt, some Chelsea boots and a feather cut. I feel like Philly Gould, the snappiest dresser in the village way back in the days of Brutus Shirts, Oxford Bags and Snake Belts. But that was then and this is now to name check the ABC song that was their downfall, if I recall, or am I lost in Space, well, most probably. I'm slightly worse for wear having been out for curry, Guinness and retro spective story telling with an old friend. We trained as nurses together and had serious political aspirations of the shop steward variety. Now he's a Director of Nursing and I'm a relatively unknown stage name with a chip for a shoulder. And so to Match of the Day, so much better when your team is winning, best VPx
