382.0. "UK Suggestions" by NEBVAX::BRADLEY () Thu Mar 23 1989 17:29

    I have always dreamed of visiting England and plan on that dream coming
    true very shortly.  What I really like is history and music (not
    necessarily in that order) and what better place to visit, I ask you?  
    So I'd like some suggestions on places to visit, the "night" life
    etc.  I will probably stay in the London area or there abouts.  
    
    Thanks,

    Swindon, oh yes! Jewel of Wiltshire, and home of the mighty XTC!
    
    BTW, don't go to the Marquee in Wardour Street - it's moved!
    It's now located in the Charing Cross Road.

382.8oops! can't type or spellCOGMK::KUHNSchnauzeringWed Mar 29 1989 21:2512
    i apogize for my typing in .5 .
    
    i was joking about Swindon. Thats why it's there. But they do have
    a nice holiday inn there and the area is pretty. Its off the beaten
    tourist track. 
    
    you can even meet british rock stars there! (XTC). but it would
    be very rude to bother them. I'm sure you can at least drive by
    their house there. 8^)
    
    seriously, i hope you enjoy your trip.

    re: last
    
    was he a noisy neighbor?  Does he live in a dump?
    
    Andy Partridge was saying in a magazine article that he does not
    own the house he lives in. He had only 300 pounds in the bank before
    Oranges and Lemons came out. He said he hated doing a follow up
    album to Skylarking because he didn't want to take his toy soldiers
    and the war games table down to set his Demo recording equipment
    in his attic. i thought i was the only one with these problems!
    Just remember, there are two kinds of people in the UK: Those that
    live in Swindon and those that wish they did. :-)

382.11D'you think he will?WELMTS::GREENBReversing into the futureTue Apr 04 1989 14:4216
    I don't know if this is the right place for this, but you'll like
    this one, anyway, Jay....
    
    In last month's Making Music, a free muso-rag, Andy Partridge said,
    in a self-penned article, that he'd like to do an lp of old XTC
    songs rearranged for a marching band.
    
    I think it might just work! Bomp, Bomp, Ooompah, Oompah! Generals
    and majors a-ha! Neon Shuffle! Sergeant Rock! Senses Working Overtime!
    
    This is Pop!!
    
    I can hear it now.
