That's a sad sight, but keep in mind he probably bought it in stunningly pristine all-mod-cons condition and spent years carefully cultivating the appearance of 'home of person in crisis who hasn't decorated since the 70s'.

According to the postman, it's like the bleeding Bank of England.

Just reading this piece about ATP, and Barry Hogan (and unreliable narrator if ever there was one, but it's a good story so we'll allow it) had this little anecdote about MES:

One time The Fall turned up and, for their rider, took ten cases of beer, six bottles of wine and all the champagne. They cleaned us out. They put it all in their chalet to have a party. I get this call that they’re side of stage, and Mark E Smith is kicking off because there’s no rider. I explained they’d already had it, but they were refusing to play without one. So we took the skeleton key and broke into The Fall’s chalet and took their own booze and brought it to them. After the show, I hear this message on the radio: “It’s the Fall, they’ve been robbed!” Mark used to give me an invoice with a fake VAT number on it, and when I called him on it he pulled out a whisky bottle and tried to hit me over the head with it. Twice he tried to bottle me.

Oh, and there I was thinking “he’s famous and his house is a bit like mine (except bigger), maybe things aren’t so bad…”.

Not like the bleeding bank of anything anymore.

The contrarian in the 90s. Better than the rest.

Is your username from Pat-Trip Dispenser, or just a coincidence?

Coincidence.

They have put out a lot of songs. Monkeys and Shakespeare. I think my full name and national insurance number is mentioned on the Frenz Experiment.

Coincidence.

Maybe. It might have been subconsciously implanted into my brain by the great contrarian.
