Who's this John lad?
Don't remember him
Don't remember him
Hey dude. Are you one of the Monkees? I got on to the Dream Believer vibe and thought it was so obscure it must be one of my bros. That you Micky?
Ha, I wish
Yeah, this?
Oh man so gutted, thought I'd connected with one of my top dudes there.
Are you a Mixed Martial Arts type? Looking at your picture you looked like a ripped fighting machine. I don't condone violence man but I won't hold it against you.
Brad?
Hey there. I don't know who Brad is. But I like your pic, big coincidence man, I co-wrote the the theme tune to Sesame Street with Frank Oz. What a genius he was man
An epicfany.
Welcome to the cilly Isle.c
Hey guys. Good mornin to y'all. What a glorious day it is too. Sorry about last night, was getting in the flow but had to retire, the meds kicked in fellas.
So, I agree to take a few days vacation to the party island with Meadow and Sunny and we book a quaint little place five minutos stroll from San Antonio. We check in at reception, all's good, all's good. Meadow leaves me and Sunny to do the checking in, hand over your passport routine and disappears. Suddenly I hear squeals of excitement coming from beyond. Meadow bursts through the doors to reception. She's all giddy "John, John, you got to come see this" she pleads dragging me by the arm.
So I'm standing there. Looking at a pool. "What is it Meadow, I don't get it. It's a pool."
"It's not any old pool John" she says.
"It looks like any old pool to me Meadow".
"It's THE pool John, you know...THE pool....George, Andrew, Pepsi & Shirley"
Realisation dawned on me guys. She was right. Meadow was right. Wham. Club Tropicana. THE GODDAM FRIGGIN POOL. I just stood there, mouth open. I've lived a wholesome life brothers, seen the world, jammed with the biggest legends in the business. But this just blew my goddam socks off.
"Hey, guys, we just got to do it" I said.
"Do what?" replied Sunny
"Recreate the scene Sunny" I said
I think my beautiful Meadow wet herself with the excitement.
"But there's only three of us" said Sunny. I love the guy with all my heart but he can emit negative vibes at times.
Thinking quick I looked around and see a guy relaxing on one of those big beds and shouted "Hey dude, wanna help an old timer out?"
"Of course" he responded. Such a polite young fella who I got to know so well over the course of the weekend. His name was Josh from Harlepool and by coincidence a big Pool fan (Liverpool not THE pool although he may have been a fan of that as well).
So we head off to get changed into our trunks. I'm not young anymore dudes and years of Rock and Roll has left me with a paunch and sickly coloured skin. My Speedo days are long gone and I had only packed a pair of Board Shorts from Walmart's bargain range but they had to do.
We reconvene at the poolside bar, Me, Meadow, Sunny and our new companion Josh.
"Hey barman, four cocktails when you're ready. I'll have a Sunday Bloody Sunday Bloody Mary, a Comfortably Numb Pina Colada for Meadow, A Since You've Been Gone Singapore Sling for Sunny and a Wheels On The Bus White Russian for Josh."
"Comin' right up" said Miguel the barman. Such a dude. ALways pleasant, always a smile on his little Inca face.
Sunny, Josh and Meadow headed to the pool to get in to position while I waited for the refreshments.
"Four cocktails" announced Miguel.
So I picks up the tray of drinks and head of to my buddys.
"Excuse me" shouts Miguel so I turn to him.
"That will be 60 Euros" he says.
"Huh?" I say
"60 Euros, the bill is 60 Euros" repeats Miguel.
" But this is Club Tropicana, drinks are free" I say.
Sorry to be a bearer of bad news my friends but drinks certainly aren't free at Club Tropicana.
Anyway have a good day y'all. Have to scoot, I'm off to meet John Paul Jones for a light lunch then some dry slope skiing.
Take care dudes.

It's defo a Facebook blag that mate. Read it & even before I saw the council haven't approved an application it screamed bullshit.
Just looked at it in more detail.
It's bonkers. The only event they've done before was an illegal unpermitted rave. Went off without a hitch I believe.
But to go from that to a 2500+ open air footy screening with pop up bars & huge screens, when no permit has been applied for with two weeks to go?
No way. I call bullshit all day.
They reckon they're going to release more details at 2 today so I'll keep an eye on it..
It'd be a fucking horrible place to watch ye match anyway.
What if it rains, firstly. Mud everywhere & very hard to see screens.
It'll be full of gangs of scallies, secondly.
Outdoor portaloos, scallies, probably a shitload of people with prams & kids, chance of getting soaked.
Fuck that off.

Big indoor pub selling burgers and chicken wings sounds more the go.
Indeed mate. Indeed.
They said they were releasing the details today and now it's been put back to the 19th, a week before! It's bullshit, or they're delaying because of planning or something.
It's bollocks. They can't apply & get licence for that size event within two weeks unless my idea of event planning permits is very wrong, which I don't think it is..
You need traffic consultation, police approval, the security arrangements needs to be approved, as do on site resources like toilets safe entry & exits etc.
Can't be done in two weeks unless you have serious pull & serious cash to throw at it, which these chancers obv don't or they'd have done more than one illegal rave before.
The echo reported the council were doing a screen on Williamson Square a few week back but have since pulled the report?
Can't find it anywhere. Has that been binned then?

They've got another event listed on their fb page.
Abandoned Underground Tunnel Rave
We will be taking over a secret derelict tunnel space in Liverpool, taking things back to basics for a stripped back underground party.
We will be transforming this disused tunnel for a once only, seriously underground rave. Nothing but Dark Tunnels | Funktion One Sound System | Strobe Lights
House & Techno
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Tickets and Line up revealed soon..
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: the location of this event is a 100% legitimate licensed premises.
Now, unless they have the Williamson tunnels signed up they can't do that. That's the only licensed underground tunnel in the city.
If they did why aren't they saying where it is? Williamson tunnel has done club nights before & never had to be done under cloak & dagger it was always listed straight away.

The only way get an event like that up on such short notice is if it was planned weeks months ago
I’ve been in those tunnels.
I’m putting this here just because I can.
Since 2000 Everton have won the Merseyside derby 4 times. In that period Liverpool have reached 5 European finals. That's right, it's easier for us to get to a European final than it is for Everton to beat us in a match.

Lads, I won't make it this time.
I had sorted the first stage from Cardiff to Liverpool on Saturday but wasn't able to find a way back on Sunday. I have to be back by 9 in the morning because of a business meeting. It just doesn't work.
On the other hand I'll give away my spare ticket for DRD.
