That is a beautiful beautiful man

You may all find this very hard to believe but sometimes, on occasion, on my day off, I didn't really want to go skiing. What I wanted to do was sit inside a nice warm bar. One Wednesday in January when the thought of skiing in a White out was just too much I decided that a lie in and an afternoon writing letters was a much more pleasurable use of my time. I was right but in more ways than I expected.

I found my favourite table at the Meribar ( behind a compartment so you can hide but still see everyone else) I had just finished writing a very witty letter to my friend Hutch back in England and was beginning a new one to my mum when I became aware of three interesting looking young men setting up some speakers on the stage. I like big speakers. I also like music. Not all music, only good music. And the list of what qualifies good and bad music is long and exhaustive but to simply put it rock, punk = good. Dance music, R and B, = crap. I obviously have a much bigger list that I won't bore you with but you get the picture.

My attention drifted from my letter to my mum and I began to watch the band set up, 'Not bad looking boys' I thought to myself as my perving meter shot up and they announced that they were 'The Ram Raid'.

There is a strange thing about music, when it is really good it is REALLY GOOD. They started off with a song by the Clash. I love the clash. From the on I was interested. Their set was brilliant every one of them was brilliant. I also realised that the lead singer was beautiful. I'm not sure what it was, he had lovely shiny curly hair, a lip piercing and really good shoes. I always liked his shoes. It was also quite probably because he was playing music that I loved.

The next day I went into work and told them that the day before I had potentially seen the most beautiful man in the world. I have never lived it down.

As I will write about later I did get to know the Ram Raid. It was obvious the singer always knew I thought he was beautiful but he was kind enough never to tell me to piss off
