Today I seem to be suffering from a monumental hangover.
It was Lurch's birthday and I really didn't think I had drunk that much. I do seem to remember singing along to Public Image quite enthusiastically. And I think Lurch liked his Iron Man Hulkbuster action figure.
Toby turned up pissed from his work Xmas do where apparently his boss tried to thump him.
Anyway, it was a good night, despite being in the West End on a Friday (ie: standing up all fucking night and paying way too much money for lager) - but really - I don't think I drank that much.
So I've wasted today feeling like a soft turd and the only constructive things I've managed to do are download Biology by The G.A. and buy two giant tins of Celebrations (2 for £10 - Fuckin A).
Now I'm watching The X Factor - this is because I don't have the energy to pick up the remote - and I kind of want Journey South to win because they're such stuck in the fucking eighties pub-band cunts.
Anyway, the snooker's on soon, so I'll be greasing myself up for that.
I don't know what relevancee the picture has other than - JC - Who's the artist?
PS: Does anyone else think that the little kiddie G.A. fans might be confused by the fact that Biology has no chorus?

I loooove those NEL 70's Dracula books...up there with the Edge western series...I seem to remember reading a couple of those in my teens.
I too have a stonking hangover. I'm off to watch a Bob Hope film. It's the only way to go. In bed by 10 tonight, I reckon.
You've made a good choice - Paul McCartney's on two fucking channels, so I'm going to bed with the new issue of Ultimates.
Off topic, but I wondered what knew, if anything, about David Pelham's cover art?
Don't know too much about David Pelham - though I do know he did a fair few covers for Penguin science fiction books in the 60s.
I'm intrigued though, so I shall delve deeper.
Cool, thanks. Am intrigued to see what you can dig up.
This is why I'm asking btw. My mate Japes is his son.
That's V Cool.
My dad got a mention in a book of Raymond Chandler's letters, best I can do.
Well I've dug up a couple of covers by Pelham..which I'll post..well, in a minute.
Dan - you can tell yr mate that his dad is/was a seriously heavy-weight hitter in the design world, but he probably knows that already. There was a thread on the Dissensus forum a couple months ago on Classic penguin book-covers where Pelham was openly referred to as 'God' by one of my esteamed blogging colleagues...he has the power to reduce major critical intellectuals down to salivating fan-boys. I loooove his stuff.
You realise this'll spark off a load of cover posts now...
I keep finding myself liking that Biology track... Scary.
The GA are ace - don't fight it Stef
