Back in 1979 I used to manage the remants of The Fakes - New Youth and although I took lots of snaps, I gave the negatives to Jamesie when they split up. I do however have at least this pic taken in the backyard of some slum in Falkirk where they rehearsed and a couple o Johnny singing perhaps during their gig a le clique.Jurrassosaurushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09717952416052376431noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589588.post-1115023252868934442005-05-02T09:40:00.001+01:002005-05-02T09:40:52.866+01:00The 16th at Gleneagles Jurrassosaurushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09717952416052376431noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589588.post-1115023213802027692005-05-02T09:40:00.000+01:002005-05-02T09:40:13.803+01:00Linda Barr feeding the Fire brigade Jurrassosaurushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09717952416052376431noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589588.post-1115023194069779722005-05-02T09:39:00.001+01:002005-05-02T09:39:54.070+01:00Elizabeth feeding an elephant, same one I guess!

The phone in my neighbours apartment remains unanswered. Every day it rings in the morning and then in the evening. It rings more in the evening than in the morning and I guess - although I can't be sure - that different relatives are ringing before they go to work and after they return. The ringing continues way past the average eight ringsJurrassosaurushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09717952416052376431noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589588.post-1104941605005829752005-01-05T17:04:00.000+01:002005-01-05T17:13:25.006+01:00The unanswered phone.
I guess I only really noticed the ringing phone about two days ago. It was then I realised that our downstairs neighbours did not have an annoyingly regular unanswered phone call in the morning and in the early evening.
I suddenly struck me that it was my upstairs neighbours phone ringing and just to be sure, I went upstairs to listen. Sure enough it was ringing, just like Jurrassosaurushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09717952416052376431noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589588.post-1104866997322565872005-01-04T20:28:00.000+01:002005-01-04T20:29:57.323+01:00Oops!

Despite today being a Bank holiday in the UK it isn't a bank holiday here in Germany. Bank holidays which fall on a weekend are still holidays and by some curious process still count as holidays. In the UK, when Christmas falls on a weekend the country usually closes down for three weeks because of the two additional days off the working week. Not so here - if the public holidayJurrassosaurushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09717952416052376431noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589588.post-1104676256793260102005-01-02T15:07:00.000+01:002005-01-02T15:40:30.183+01:00Follow The Yellow Sack Road
Yesterday was the first time that I really spent any amount of time thinking about how much effort goes into recycling here. Well, it's a sort of recycling.

Of course, it has all been done before and making any attempt to digitalise a great diary is bound to fail. It simply lacks narrative structure.
