Hi everyone out there, as promised let me tell you how Mark, our bass player, got one of his many nicknames

Mark "the water feature" Arnold.

Mark is almost legendary for his fondness of gazing at white tiles

Whilst splashing the porcelain,

indeed during The ‘Star Spangled Banner’ you may wonder where he nips off to!

On one of our trips to The Emerald Isle, the van broke down on the way to the ferry. Mark, killing time until we could get going again, downed a few cans of rocket fuel (33% extra per can).

Now it was bitterly cold, and we were on the side of the M6 for over an hour…and in danger of missing the ferry. Frantic calls to the port were made and we were told we had to cover 60 odd miles in 40 mins… 0kayyyy! Well it was about this time that Mark lived up to his nickname…"Can you pull over, I need to water the weeds." "No way" says Kev. "But… but… I’m desperate" "NO *@#*#* WAY!" says Kev. "We’ll miss the ferry."

So Mark rolled down the window and

Positioned himself!!!!!

"Arrrrggghhhh!!!!!"

Now for the men amongst you, relieving

Yourself out of a van window going 70mph, when there’s a wind chill factor of –20… lets just say Mark was walking rather strangely for the next few days.

Next time… John’s idea on how Jimi should have worn his velvet loons…
