Lol, I hope the Babyshambles album is as good as the libertines stuff or else i'll just be sad they broke up!

The last thing we need in music is more unfulfilled potential

If he's 6'4" then he's exactly twice the height of Bono.

That's what I was doing! I gave him one of the hearts, but my friend stuck one on Patrick Walden's back, and he chased him!

Seriously, my friend's a muppet.

Isn't the joke in the similarity between "craic" and "crack"? I was laughing...

Can't wait for tomorrow night. The Village was great. I only hope it won't be full of tabloid monkeys. All the weekend reviews in the papers are pissing me off 'cos they're all saying "Ooh, will Kate Moss be there?", "will he die onstage?" and all this ****e. I wish we could get back to the good old days.

I hear Shane McGowan may be duetting... Although, he's supposed to be in an awful state recently.

I feel like I'm missing out..all you guys seeing him around the town..

He's not the most reliable person, I'd be surprised if he turns up.

In fairness, he hasn't done that for any of the Babyshambles gigs. On that note, if anyone wants to get another look at Pete Doherty they can pick up two tickets to see him tonight here.

No, TV is the great equaliser. Tall people can look smaller than average. Short people can look taller.

The illusion (I have concluded) is due to head size.

We (the viewers) have a mental idea of how large a head should be (and we unconciously believe it to be one standard size for all people). Hense we determine the 'size' of the person by extrapolating relative to the head. Using this method a 6'4'' guy with a disproportionity large head will seem shorter than average and a 5'6'' guy with a disproportionity small head will seem taller than average.

Its only when we see these people in the flesh in 3d that we can make an accurate determination of height.

This theory of course could be complete codswollop on my part but I think it makes sense.

//

This (rather ghey) pix of the Doc would seem to support my theory. His head is indeed quite large in relation to his torso.

He's a bit of a waster really but a talented one. People love watching car crashes. I like the music though.

If I see him, I'm going to slap him for being a complete ****ing failure at everything, but worst of all music. That man is an insult to all the unsigned bands who can actually play their instruments, write non-crap lyrics and form songs that actually have a degree of talent and interest.
