19th April, 2009: Narcoleptic After Newquay
Spat by Soulgirl at 1:11 pm | Comment here!
Lindsay and I pootled along the coast to Newquay looking forward to the weekend that laid ahead. The Newquay Soul & Surf Weekender.
On arrival at the hotel I grabbed the bags out of the boot and low and behold, who was tucked right at the back? MALCOLM! A bit deflated having been cooped up in there for so long but I gave him a good blow job in the hotel room which revived his floppiness to a good stiffy. And judging from the sagging under my chin I believe I could benefit from performing a few more mouth-exercise routines other than just with Malcolm! :D
We walked him down to the venue and found him a nice comfy seat. It was buzzing from the the beginning to the end downstairs and so fucking hot! The sweat was dripping off me like I’d just got out of the shower. That’s what a whole night of dancing does to you! Pint of larger in, pint of sweat out :D
The Nottingham Posse were on top form and quite a number of them this year. They’re such a laugh and know how to have a good time. Comedy all around, just how I like it.
3am came and found Lindsay and I going back to the hotel for some sleep. She didn’t stop talking till half past fucking 4 when I blurted out “Lindsay! Shut the fuck up!” :D
We attempted breakfast the next morning with Jo and Tony but I just couldn’t eat a thing. 3 fags in the garden with a cup of coffee listening to the piped-music that was Hokey fucking Cokey! What’s that all about?
Anyway, back to bed till 10.30am then up and at them again down the venue. A few pints, far too much dancing in my new high shoes left me with feet that were numb and painful at the same time. Mick H asked if I managed to get a shag and when I’d worked out he meant Malcolm I had to admit that I hadn’t. A crumpled heap of squishy plastic that was good for nothing. It was a choice between a wank or sleep I said… sleep won LOL. Therefore, my ache was packed away for another time. In fact, a very long time… I give up!
The afternoon session was absolutely FUCKING BRILLIANT! Mick remembered to pack his Stimulation track but the man of the match for the entire weekend has to go to Nick Hackett. Honestly, what music! However, winner of the comedy moment of the weekend has to be Michele. At the end of a beat ballard, quite out of the blue, she did a back drop and a commando roll off the floor. LOL. 2nd winner was a little girl (see photos). She came to sit between Maria and I and had a little natter. She then quite innocently asked Maria if she was my Mother hahahahahaaaaaaa…. Maria was gutted, what with that and Lindsay spreading rumour’s that she’d nipped off to the chemist for some nit lotion lol. It was all a bit much for our host, Neil Rushton, who caught 40 winks in a comfy chair.
The heat on Saturday night was almost unbearable. I ended up dancing in front of two huge fans on the stage. I felt like a movie star as the wind blew my shirt all around me, even lifting the hems of my trousers. And, as you know, I’m not a modern fan at all but David Santiago played some great rare 70′s (same as tracks in my Jukebox under the Rare 70′s folder). I had a skip around to Angela Davis – My Love’s So Strong. Sounded brilliant banging loud – really it did!
By 2am I was curled up in one of the comfy chairs. I felt battered and bruised and if my feet could speak they’d be shouting obscenities at me :D
Grabbing a pizza on the way home I laid in bed almost unable to chew… there endeth my 2nd jaunt to this weekender. Great time had by all. Excellent music all weekend and more so the company. Not cliquey at all – such a friendly gig.
Thanks for putting this together Mr Rushton; we’ll be back.

Cleethorpes is 13 June (I think) Maria. glad you had a great time but like me I hear you came back without the opportunity of a cock meeting LOL. We’re always all over the place mate. Next weekend it’s Lifeline, then Middleton on 9 May. You only have to contact me in the week to see where we’re all off to if you want to tag along. Regularity would see you sharing driving on occasions though :-P

Good write-up Karen, yes it was a good weekend. I’d forgotten about the ermm, outburst of energy at the end of the beat ballad, was it the Drifter? Anyway the move was intended to be a sort of one-handed cartwheel twisting over into a backdrop, wasn’t sure how it turned out! Fortunately my only attempt at embarrassing acrobatics all weekend :-)
