My gf at the time was a huge Coxon fan, so I decided to take a photo of him (cos I was at Art School i had a camera with me, in my satchel). <BR/><BR/>He went into an offy, and I waited patiently for him to come out again. Which never happened. After a fashion I went into the offy, which was empty aside from the girl behind the counter. <BR/><BR/>To this day I've never worked out where Coxon vanished to. He must have had some sort of secret stairway that led from the offy to his flat. This kinda makes sense cos it was at the height of his boozy years....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1533372025110910037.post-52690274664100984602008-12-31T20:52:00.000+00:002008-12-31T20:52:00.000+00:00That Mr. James fellow still owes me a beer!around ...That Mr. James fellow still owes me a beer!<BR/><BR/>around the time of 'popscene' being on a magazine cover mount tape (Lime Lizard maybe) Alex was visiting .. he knew a friend of mine and was sat with us in a club.<BR/><BR/>I did flyers and knew the staff, so got served first.. bastard didn't get his round in.... never payed for any of their music because of that!<BR/>(if I'd known they were in 60 grand of debt I wouldn't of been so bitter about it, ok now though I'm guessing)saneshanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09876333195233262885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1533372025110910037.post-69090452870267242242008-12-30T15:16:00.000+00:002008-12-30T15:16:00.000+00:00Nice picture, DebbyM.

I started by scrolling down the Spill and dbl. clicking on all the pics, only a couple reacted by getting large, so I came back and dragged Debby's pic to my desktop and did a 'get info', it was a 12K jpg. I opened it in Photoshop and it looked awful, as you'd expect of a 12K. <BR/>I next went to the large version and tried to pull that to my desktop, to no avail so I copied and pasted it there, 'get info' gave me a 228K jpg. but since it was an archive file in Safari I couldn't open it in Photoshop. What I'm not clear about is why the pic changes from 12K to 228K when dbl. clicked, anyone else bored enough to think about it? Where do all the extra K's come from?<BR/>And Debby, #10 looks more like it, #9 looks like my dorky PhD brother.goneforeignhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05903220453599675348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1533372025110910037.post-51404899111850610652008-12-28T23:55:00.000+00:002008-12-28T23:55:00.000+00:00@gfWell, you learn something new every day: being ...@gf<BR/>Well, you learn something new every day: being barely computer literate I honestly did not realise you could get that photo any bigger than the teensy rectangle housed on my desktop!
