Last chance to visit Donaldson's College before the developers move in. I'll be there between 12:45 and 13:30; hopefully there'll be some cyclists that have joined me for the bike ride: http://faheystuart.co.uk/29september2007/.
ah, your icon reminds me I still have my Cocteau Twins t-shirt from 1984 somewhere in a bag in a loft on the other side of the planet. Excellent. Grey with bright pink bits.
Actually, come to think on it more. It's 1982 not 84.
As I went to see The Cocteau Twins supporting OMD at the Edinburgh Playhouse, the night before my very first O Grade exam (April). Which I proudly failed getting an E. If my parents had known about the exam the next day I wouldn't have been able to go! I've always been crap at English but did eventually get a C pass... and skilfully still managed to progress to a Masters. I'm cleva me ;)
I had the arum lily somersaulting lady on a badge which got lost. OMD hmmm. Early days. When I saw them they always headlined with interesting support acts. Usher Hall, Queen's Hall, Barrowlands. Felt, Dif Juz, Cindytalk? Saw them in the crowd at an early Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds gig at Clouds. I did well at xhool but crapped out of Further Education. The terror of 11 years in institutions was enough for me.
