Insanely catchy tune - check
Dancing Dwarf - check
Serious, but ridiculous looking lead singer - check
Nonsensical lyrics - check
Anti-war montage in B&W, bit political - check

That's a time I wouldn't mind forgetting.

Strangely enough, I was watching a TV retrospective on the civil disturbances in Northern Ireland last night when I saw myself in a news report at the scene of a double shooting of police officers.

I got a bollocking for this accidental exposure as we weren’t allowed to have our identities linked to SF/police activity. ;D ;D

I did cut an ugly figure it has to be said and not unnaturally, all the memories of that lawless period came flooding back. :(
