Floppys stolen the laptop

Floppy's Electric Picnic 2008 - Postscript

Fresh evidence has emerged about why I felt so strange - it wasn't the STUFF at all - it was this Director guy squeezing my head together - hey! Stop that!

These are mostly MY Irish Fan Club.

Floppy's Electric Picnic 2008 - Episode 4 - Dreams or Nightmares?

After all that excitement I was ready to have some FUN - hey - isn't that..... Elvis??????

Well I know who this is - we went to see MY Unthanks and I was right at the front- I had such a nice smile and a wave from Becky and Rachael and at the end they dedicated the last song to Mr Floppy - ME! WhoooooHoo!

We went to a top restaurant to celebrate but there was this - this - I can't speak for the HORROR of it....

It was too much for me....

When I came round it had started raining - Irish rain - lots of it. Now I don't do rain - I do have the GEAR - the best festival poncho and real wellies and all that - but it's cooler to stay dry, so off I went back to the Mobile Palace - only to find that the festival was on fire! The giant tower was in flames - there were bonfires everywhere and even logs stuck in the ground were on fire - FIRE!

Next thing I knew I was back in Dublin and this strange light.....

Was it all a dream...................

................ No! Because I have had a MySPace message from My Unthanks to say how nice it was to see me again - so I must have been there ........
.......................aaaaaaaaaaargh! What's that?

Floppy's Electric Picnic 2008 - Episode 3 - Take that!

Hello darlings! Do you like my boa? Actually I robbed it from Elton's wardrobe before I left after his last party - he'll be livid when he sees this!

Here's a chap with taste this is Chris rob pressing the wool.

... see he gave me his card.

Some people say The Picnic is really peaceful, but I seemed to find any trouble that might be going - these 4 made it clear I wasn't welcome and what they might do if I upset them....

Security came and sorted me out - thanks geezer.

10 minutes later and it all kicked off again - as reported here by a rather drunken paperazzi

I used some of my egg fu yong moves...

... which kept them at bay for a moment....

... but to no avail - ouch!

No matter - I was soon on the mend and back amongst my adoring fans - the price of fame.

Floppy's Electric Picnic 2008 - Episode 2

Fans, fans, fans - this is a sequence of chaos where I was rescued from a mob by this ASBO guy

We had to give him a chance to have a proper photo but these other guys just kept on jumping in....

Finally we made it to the stage to see top Irish superstars Kila - nice wallpaper! They were really fab, but they had there own problems with crowds too - some choir kept coming on and singing - I think they must have

thought it was their turn and decided to go on anyway - then these (sssh! half naked chicks kept coming on and shaking their big feathers around.) Then - as if that wasn't enough this other chick, who must have been on the run from somewhere, ran on and tried to escape up a pair of red ribbon things to the top of the stage, but she kept falling off - fortunately she always managed to catch the ribbons and the crowd enjoyed it so much she must have decided not to run away on her own, but to join the circus instead....

Some bad news I'm afraid an old couple couldn't take the noise and .....

Floppy's Electric Picnic 2008 - Episode 1

Hi everybody! This year I invited 30000 of my best party friends (sorry if I missed you out - maybe next year) to a giant 3 day Electric Picnic in Ireland. We went over the sea in Floppy's Mobile (and now floating) Palace and we had a smashing time - until it poured with rain and half the site burnt down - AT THE SAME TIME! Read on.

First we went on a big cruise liner to MY favourite city - Dublin - It was an easy crossing but I found I had to spend a lot of time hanging over the side.... Just kidding I was just practising Assembling in case we needed to when the ship sank.

First job when we got there was to get the Mobile Palace tarted up:

Good job eh? Even got MY famous greeting Peace Love on it (they got it the wrong way around though - then they said it was left hand drive - huh?)

As usual the paparazzi were out in force, poking big lenses in my face.

Soon got rid of this one (just before I nearly hit him) when I pointed out my security dude coming to get him (that guy in the distance...)

After that I had STRONG WORDS with my minder bloke before carrying on into episode 2....

Floppy goes to Liverpool! I don't normally venture out into the main shopping areas where lots of people go for fear of being recognised and mobbed by frenzied fans, but today I was smuggled into the big new designer shop in Liverpool called Primark where there wasn't anything to fit ME, but after we went to the COOLEST place in the CITY OF CULTURE (nearly finished, nearly 2008, keep building boys...): The Egg Cafe where they serve fab food, play cool music and have art on the walls.

Art is why we were there - ace local photoguy Dave Griffiths invited ME to his premier opening at EggSpace and of course he HAD to have his picture taken with ME - no doubt I'll be the star of his next exhibition....

While I was there I met some new friends - Robyn sells cool badges and I bought a whole bundle - and one of the cafe girls who kept giggling at me finally plucked up courage to give me a present - a nice blue sculpture of ME, but seconds later, another fan came by and looked so imploring at ME that I just had to give it to her.... she may have been a fairy by the way..... you can tell by the wings......
Sadly Damo's latest ruby encrusted turkey carcass has been impounded because of bird flu regulations, so neither he nor it were there. Maybe next month?
Christmas is coming and Floppy is hoping for a whole new wardrobe from that other new designer place TKMaxx i Liverpool - hint hint.
Peace Love & Jingle Bells
Floppy 8-)
PS Flonk has moved out of my pockets and into a local teapot - more on that story soon. F. 8-)

Thats it! I'm off to the sun!

Greetings from The Beach!

I've had enough - this music business has been doing my head in - everybody is just too slow! I can't get musicians to work, the producers to agree and as for the management - enough! So Flonk suggested we have break - get away from it all and get some sun....

I'm not sure this is what I had in mind - it's all a bit wet - and there's no sign of the beach bars or the cool chicks...

Have a paddle Flonk said - a paddle? I kept my Womud wellies very firmly on thank you very much - Floppy and water do not agree!

I'm afraid even this break wasn't going to help....

Here's Flonk - at least HE is enjoying himself! Surfing here I think.

Once he'd had a chat with me though I cheered up again...

It's quite nice to look at - the sea...

But "I love the sun" much better .... cool eh?

Of course once word got out that an international mega-star was on the beach MY peace was shattered - "Oh Mr. Floppy - can we just have our picture taken with you?"
