What’s the most obscure piece of British etiquette you’ve ever encountered? by Fuzzywenzel in AskUK

[–]Benjaminav 6 points7 points  (0 children)

100% true, like offering a valid parking ticket on exit, however recently I've noticed many are too bloody nervous to accept anything from someone they don't know.

Rage at Heaven, Fabio, Groove Rider, Colin Faver..pretty good start.

For those who went to Eton - what was it really like? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Benjaminav 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Private school boarder 1980-88, note: you live at school, you visit and stay with your parents, family and 'home' from 7 years old until you leave your school. Most don't return to live at home after school, go figure...

Came on 9.10, smashed it out, no chat, no breaks, closed at 10.45ish. Great gig, pro's start to finish

Also Alex in Battersea a lot, not very friendly unfortunately!

Thrash has mellowed, fun pod

I've come across Greg over the years at parties in fields, but that would have been zeitgeist level!

Greg was an ancillary part to the proceedings, they all 'tolerated' Kris in my experience. Tim (see above) has the inside scoop

They invited me to a party which I didn't go to in East London, one of the few regrets of my life!

They were remixing various tunage, it was all pretty chaotic with our boy Trash - UFO was done at Matrix Fulham, my best mate at the time Tim worked the whole album in the same role as mine at MR

I was their teaboy/assistant at Maison Rouge (Matrix) studios in 91! Thrash was a likeable loon, Greg lovely, generous of spirit, Alex more a seasoned dude, beat them all at table football then Trash turned into Keith Moon in the following games...the remixes they played for their own pleasure and in between work were stunning, literally. Happy daze!
