The title of this blog comes from a Gaelic expression -"putting on the poor mouth"-which means to exaggerate the direness of one's situation in order to gain time or favour from creditors.

Robyn at the Islington Academy - more ropey photos
A poor collection but the best I could get without geting closer to the stage and that would have meant elbowing a load of people out of the way.
You should have worked your rib incapacitation status to full effect and snagged a handicapped place near the front of the stage! Or are you above playing on pity for your advantage?
I didn't scroll down, so hence I didn't know that this was a different engagement than the Christmas show. Robyn wearing the same shirt confused me. Maybe he found a closeout clearance on floral shirts and now that's his new stage uniform?
Cool pictures, jams... your enthusiasm for Robyn et al shines through, and makes the rest of us wish we could have been there.
EWBL, sales clerks in clothing stores always remind me, "do you know you're buying two identical shirts?" I appreciate their kind help, but yes, I usually do know. Presuming you are correct, Robyn has the right idea... find something you like to wear, and stock up on it.
I was with a friend and we got a fairly good vantage point, although I am sure venues hire lines of six footers just to piss off the likes of me and Mike. For the not wife it is even worse fiven that she is all of five foor one.
Ah he has a load of bright and loud shirts ewbl. I think it just so happened it came back into his rotation. still....
Agreed, stve there is nothing like finding a style and sticking to it by getting multiples then wearing them until they are not fit to be used as rags! There's no mistaking my love for Robyn's work.. even to the point of having a cat named after him! I have nevr see him play a crappy concert (okay one or two below par) but he was on top form last night
My Mom and I have a joke about bras. But finding one that fits right is such a rarity that when it happens we both immediately go back to the store to stock up because you never know when a company will mess it up with a "new and improved" design.
I had a Jewish stepfather. You know all the miserly Jew stereotypes? Yeah, he embodied all of them. Do you see these super nerdy saddle shoes? They were hopelessly out of style but our local department store had them on clearance for rock bottom prices. He bought me ten pairs in varying sizes so that he wouldn't have to buy me school or church shoes for a couple years. Child abuse comes in many forms, you know.
And what, may I ask, is wrong with elbowing loads of people out of the way? Are you getting soft in your old age? Dig the buggers in the ribs as hard as you can - just as long as they don't look too hard. There's also the age-old, 'quick, out of the way, I'm gonna spew' trick. Works every time.

Not a bad ide ewbl. It seems to be a tie that binds all women - the hunt for the conmfortable titsling. Another reason why I am glad to be male!
Gah those shoes are pretty vile by anybody's standard!
What? No bonding over jock strap fits? Or man support pantyhose like Joe Namath endorsed? How sad. What DO you gents talk about then?
Not about testicular support! except for my firend who did himself a mischief by wearing boxers and not getting the support he needed!
maainly we talk about boob support too particularly what the support holds!

Alas I am getting soft Siani!The last thing I wanted was people digging me back in my ribs, especially the one that has only just healed!!
THe spewing trick? Nice one but perhaps it would be odd to be runnin to the stage to spew.. unless the band reeked of course!
