“I was chatting to Greg Davies and he said...” – Chris
Corcoran

Omitted from the articles making up this month’s
Upfront: recognition of Adrian Edmondson as the
source of the quote “Curry’s window’s just blown.
They’ve thrown Aswad through it!” Steve Hughes’
drumming work on the Slaughter Lord demos. The
fact that supposed comedian Adam Hills appears to
have no sense of humour

Keiron Self reviews gets to gripz with hot new flix
including Blue Is The Warmest Colour, a French
movie whose first addendum in Google autocomplete
is ‘sex scene’. “Ahh, but autocomplete is based on
your own search history so it is you who is the
pervert. Ahh” – some bawbag reading, probably

Glowing reviews, glowinger Bonfire Night eating ideas
and a look at what’s new or imminent on the Cardiff
restaurant scene. The copy for this originally said that
Madison’s was going to have a “brassiere” upstairs, so
apologies if this turns out not to be a typo

“Without having seen the preview in Stage at the time
of typing,” muse I in the listings for the play 1984, “I’m
guessing it says something about it being more relevant
now than ever.” It sort of does, but this is basically the
theme of this particular production, so that’s OK
What’s a Buzz reviewer’s favourite obsolete type of
petrol? Four-star! What’s a Buzz reviewer’s favourite
military rank? Four-star! What’s a Buzz reviewer’s
favourite Irish pizza takeaway? Four Star! How did
the Buzz reviewer pirate make the landlubber walk
the plank? Forced, arrrr!

A roundup of some of the top independent designers
in south Wales, such as Tempest, who celebrate the
female form with plunging necklines. And yet when
I do the exact same thing, with the addition of a
bucket of cold soapy water, I’m accused of being a
tired imitation of a letter to Viz circa 1993

Aled Singleton goes canyoning in Ystradfellte, Powys,
and is transported to a higher plane of elation not only
by the breathtaking aquatic beauty of his surroundings,
but also the fact that he is close to the Midlands

This month we’re in Croatia, or more accurately
Watson Thomas is, or more accurately neither of
us are because he already went there. Croatia is
described as “Italy’s young, energetic cousin,” which
if you added ‘forgetful’ to that would qualify the
country to wait tables in Bellini’s

I’ve removed all of November’s Bogiez gigs as the
venue closed just before print time, but some might
get relocated, so KYEO if you like Vice Squad,
Tigertailz, American Head Charge, Big Deal etc
