HALF MAN HALF BISCUIT-I HATE NERYS HUGHES

[paullavan2011]

During the filming of the District Nurse she was known to the crew as 'Dyke on a Bike'

[malcolmcog]

Me too. I mean, was she crap or what ?

[strummerocks]

@malcolmcog I used to fancy her when I was about 11, but I don't have much time for her now, especially after that district nurse shite

[Laeticiajane]

Fantastic, if this was in the System then I was there too.....  good times

[ABlissfulRainbow]

FANTASTIC!!!!!!!

This is from there gig recorded at the system in liverpool on fri 7 march 1986.

I was there

[thefacialsgaragepunk]

Thanks for uploading this! The first gig I took a girl to was Half Man Half Biscuit at The Venue in New Cross, London. She left me soon after...

[tuftyfluffytail]

I was the only girl I knew in the South who loved the guys - if a bloke had taken me to a gig as a first date I would have loved them for ever!!

[zozzaby]

pity this band was a flop and never made it.

[kerdubennak]

marty molloy, they just had no pretention to change the world and as looking back now things weren't that bad in the mid 80s compared to now, Ok they were dictators massacring milions but how were we supposed to be fighting them when we had so much to do rebuilding a world and a youth that had been dozing for 15 years under peace and love uniformity and the prefab thinking of the cosy revolutionists who now live in castles and drive around in their pickup trucks and porsches ??????

[daryl1q1]

Man, Nigel had great hair.

MartyMolloy, You're quite entitled not to like this song, but your accusations of pretentiousness are off the mark. Half Man Half Biscuit are probably the least pretentious band in Britain. Furthermore, they've never been within a country mile of being "cool". As taff1976 says it is ABSURD to launch such unprovoked invective at Nerys Hughes. It's also ridiculous that most of the song has NOTHING at all to do with the ex Liver Bird

Each to their own..

[rebelbhoy1888]

pure class from back in the day

safe as fuck

[Certex]

QUALITY MAYHEM.

[MartyMolloy]

Ah yes. The authentic howl of adolescent angst, raised against one of the true demons of the age. And who was that? Reagan, supporter of fascist dictatorships in Latin America? Nope

Deng Xiaoping, the heroic mass murderer Tianmen Square? Uh huh.

Ayatollah Khomeini or Saddam Hussein, the two despots who combined to drag their two oil-rich countries back to medieval times? Nah.

"Who did you fight against in your heroic days of struggle daddy?"

"Er, a sitcom actress!"

Wankers!!

[stewartf43]

No doubt written by the Bastard Son of Nerys Hughes

[MartyMolloy]

Hey. 30 years ago I wouldn't have minded being the father of the Bastard Son of Nerys Hughes. And if that gains the dissaproval of this shower of talentless twats so much the better.

I can't believe I once owned the Back in the DHSS album. These guys are such pretentious, tuneless, humourless, presumptuous wankdogs.

What was I thinking of?

[taff1976]

If this pisses you off so much, wht did you bother looking? Just to tell us what we knew already? It's hardly serious music - just enjoy for the absurdity of the lyrics

[MartyMolloy]

"Absurdity of the lyrics" my ARSE!! There's nothing absurd about this at all. It's just preening adolescent pretentiousness. "You've got to hate Nerys Hughes or you're not cool like us."

Yeah right!!

Of all the things for working class oiks to covet about nampy pamby middle class college kids, these guys have gone for student humour!!!!!

That's like going to Britain for the weather, or Italy for the efficient rail system, or America for the health food.

Tasteless talentless twats!!!!

[taff1976]

I once saw a scat film that really made me puke...could not understand why/how people could get off on that...i reiterate my point...if you are so fucked off with this don't watch it. Look pal, don't let it worry you, its ancient fookin history. My highly developed nervous system allows me to make value judgements...things I don't like - sprouts, artechokes, calamari, scat films - I make a decision to avoid. Try avoiding this and you will be happier

[MartyMolloy]

Yeah but this is the bit where we share opinions. In all their diversity ;)

I've made my point. I'll feck off and leave you alone now.

[fredzdedhaha]

Dont you mean artichokes?

[taff1976]

No. The Welsh artechoke is really quite different and looks and tastes abit like Bristol Channel Haddock

[ldopaUK]

Top stuff

[Pwecko]

Brilliant video.

[darkinhalers]

havent heard this for 18 years.
