Almost as off putting as the colour (painted by Ann 
apparently) - now you wouldn't wear them down to Safeways 
on a Sunday afternoon would you!

>Nora seemed very drunk!

Now there is something of a pattern emerging here. I met 
her at Leeds and she kindly passed on a Life Model CD that 
I needed. It was only about 8.00 and she said she was 
feeling a bit pissed as she couldn't take her ale very well 
(she was on her second pint!). During the gig I stood near 
her and we were both having a good old bop (being very 
careful not to spill anyones pint :)) She seemed ok but 
then all of a sudden (just after the gig) I saw her and she 
was passed out upstairs in the dressing room (don't mean to 
sound rock 'n' roll luvvy here - I was just there ok!). 
Totally hammered, zonked and ker-plonk. 

Now I don't want to cause any offence at all - this is 
supposed to be funny (because it was). I went over and 
poked her a bit but there was no movement so decided to 
leave her and go downstairs to join discussions with other 
BA's down there. Too many late nights already it seems.

To my amazement, about half an hour later, Nora is up and 
supping lager like she is in the desert with 10 minutes to 
last orders. The most amazing case of second wind I have 
ever seen. For one with a low tolerance to alcohol, she was 
putting them away faster than the barman could serve 
(forgive a slight exaggeration). Good effort I say. But I 
must say, she did look rather pissed to me when I left (and 
that is coming from a man who left because he was rather 
pissed).

Nora, if you are reading this when you get home, I hope I 
have not upset you by broadcasting your drunken behaviuor 
at BA gigs. You are a star and we all owe you a favour for 
putting on the web site and all. Looks as though you may 
need some time in a drying out clinic though!

Good on her I say

Jason
