Brussels.
It's Belgium officially likes "Badness!" it's true. This
SKA/Punk festival is a regular event at Glabeek near Brussels. It's only a small
affair but is very well run by Deidrtch, who looked after us well and thanks for
that. There where six bands on before us. They where doing original material the
best of these where a hardcore punk outfit from Sweden and a band from Hamburg
in Germany who did "The Beatles" in the Punk style, very funny at first
but all the songs sounded the same in the end. Their best was Yellow Submarine,
again a good laugh.
At 1am we went on and played our usual stuff and the audience where well pleased. We had a rush at the tee-shirt stand and had some beer, and some more beer and then went to check our luxury accommodation for the night and found our tented village had been flattened by a hurd of passing wildebeest! Or was it kids on a mission from god? We kipped in the Bar and set off the next day for a visit to Brussels. The Champagne moment of the trip was seeing the lads running around the top deck of the ferry [Norland] stark naked, another traveler mentioned the lack of male appendage and described it as a "Maggots" What an horrible thought only a small affair but is very well run by Deidrtch, who looked after us well and thanks for that.

| As you can see we like to pose in front of the camera. This is Chris and Mike at the Atomaton in the Heart of Brussels. Chris drove us into Brussels and nearly had a smash while turning left at a crossroads, "Its all the wrong way round you see!" and that's my only excuse. The best bit was that on the way in we passed a learner driver wandering all over the road. Later as we sat outside a cafe the same driver got into her car, started the engine and proceeded to floor the accelerator, mount the kerb and pile her car into a big waste bin cemented into the pathway. There was smoke everywhere and the car was a right mess, but we did find it very amusing. |
What a lovely arrangement of round shinny spheres, all resplendent in the sky! The Atomaton is a great monument too. |
| Ah, there it is.....on that lovely red apple. |
