Was supposed to see them at Donington in 1994 or 95 when I was still at school, and our cleaner's BF offered to take me with him and his mates.
Parents weren't too keen, so said they would think about it. Conveniently enough, my 'summer trip' left a few days earlier than required and I was in Bangor N.I. while it was going on.
Managed to snag tickets to see them for the first time ever next summer in Cardiff.
Incredible that they're still going, given the lives they've led, and fondness for self medication over the years.
Must have been a time travelling vaccine, as the problems 'caused' he had had for years, anyway.
He's had Peripheral Neuropathy for years. There were problems after the first dose but the main problem he had came after the 2nd AZ dose which, amongst other things, rendered his hands useless for quite a while, leaving him fearing he'd never be able to play again. Probably shouldn't have had it with suffering from the PN, but anyway... easy to say in hindsight.
Which had caused him problems for years, but I'm sure it was a real vaccine injury and not him just makingi it up...
It's people like him that cause problems for the unfortunate people who are injured by vaccines.
They get cast by the wayside and ignored because of the lying idiots*
*I do like his music FWIW, but just found the bandwagon jumping infuriating**
He stayed well away from politics until Covid when he became an antivaxxer, with reason I suppose as the vaccine is thought to have inflamed an autoimmune condition he has. But posing for pictures with Greg Abbott and other Trump accolytes doesn't do him any favours.
He had one dose of (one of the various...) vaccine, and then a second later on and had a severe reaction to that, a really nasty reaction, and then just told what had happened to him. It's not quite the same as being an 'anti-vaxxer'. A lot of the thicker press went with that line though cuz that's what they do.
He donated to an anti-vax group, released an anti-vax record, refused to perform where they were checking vax records, taking things a bit further than just telling what happened to him.
In the end it's everyone's personal choice whether they listen to him or not, I wasn't a huge fan anyway.
He refused to perform where they checked records, until it meant he would have had to cancel a show

Love some of his tunes, but when you're knocking about with Robin Monotti and RFK JR, not much good will come of it. Well, other than attracting a new audience.
I can understand how some get roped in, as it's a very lucrative business. Clapton must be worth an absolute fortune, so has to be audience capture, or somethign else that triggers these people.
I've been looking forward to the World Seniors championship, so I checked it out on Channel 5 this morning.
One frame matches. 900 seconds (15 mins) per frame and if it's not finished in time who ever is in front when the buzzer sounds is the winner. Oh, and there is a shot clock, meaning that a player must strike the ball within 20 seconds of the white coming to rest.
What an utter load of unmitigated bollocks. Veterans of the game with a lifetime's worth of tactical knowledge running around the table like schoolboys. Everyone involved should be ashamed of themselves.
Lad I used to play League Billiards & Snooker with is refereeing at this.
I'll tell him you said he should be ashamed of himself Mate of mine is reffing there!
Great, Kessler has had the Big O moved to before I have arrived. Back to the more expensive Big O at the Wynn then :/
To be fair, am still holding a grudge against the GN for the tax issues a few years ago, and their rake has been at the extreme end for a while. Also, not a big fan of them offering seats as part of prize money on top of the high rake.
I don't like their cardroom staff, on the tourney side of things and hever have.
The guys & girls that run the cash room are great, but it's team shifty up at the top end in the summer.
I wouldn't play there if I didn't have an ITIN, as they're shithouses.
If you play, or have played snooker and you saw Luca Brecel last night then you, like me, will have been astonished. It was the most dazzling display of natural talent that I have ever seen, and I was there when Alex Higgins, Jimmy White, Ronnie O'Sullivan and all the other naturally talented players were in their pomp.
It was totally effortless, even his bridge hand had no tension in it. Instead of gripping the cloth it just lay there limply, like a stranded jellyfish, while its owner stroked in fluent, fluid, frame-winning break after break.
It's on the BBC iPlayer if you missed it.
Caught some of it, and was astonishing. Ding must be wondering wtf has happened
