I thought that you and I had agreed that they were dangerous deviants and that we would not be going anywhere near the Standard in Walthamstow (1 Blackhorse Lane E17 6DS) on May 11th to see Inner City Unit and Litmus corrupt the minds of the innocent.

on their ageing laurels and no longer able to do the business any more. I 
agree entirely.
Why not instead go see Niks new project - Inner City Unit, who i don't think 
anyone could call "very sad" when the Blessed Ones are on their feet and 
bopping from the first song to the last.
