A couple of hours later I got a voice message from Otway saying he was sorry I was going to miss the gig and wishing me a quick recovery.

1. Holy H Wotsit Joe - sincerely I hope you recover fully - I BLAME WENGER - see that's what wenger does to us fans - he gets us so wound up it harms our health & well being.

2. That is typical of John Otway - A very real and genuine human being...no star bollocks with him.

3. If you do keel over etc Can I have your CD collection please? (too soon?)

My doctor recommended a 30 min walk each day followed by a period without any excitement. She suggested listening to Bach or watching us pass the ball sideways for an hour.

I'm flattered that you think I'm young enough to have CDs. I do have some vinyl though. Have you got a record player (ask your Dad if you don't know what it is).

In fact, I might have to start thinking about who to leave my poster of the 70/71 double winning side signed by every player to.

Thanks for the good wishes. I'm going have to make some lifestyle changes, but they're long overdue anyway.

Bet you believed in Baby Jebus then, mate!

Only kidding!!

Hope you are recovering well. I'd say it gave you a right scare. Best wishes, man.

Thanks.
Having spoken to an eminent Spanish cardiologist, turns out I'm no longer 35, I eat too much, work too much and don't do enough exercise.
Who knew???

If anyone's thinking of a having a heart attack; a) I wouldn't, they're a bit shit but b) if you are, go to Granada Cardio ICU. It's brand new, the staff are incredible and my first ever bed bath (thanks to Carmen and Mercedes) will never be forgotten.

All the best for a speedy recovery Granadajoe

We're you advised to give up watching Arsenal ?

Get well soon Joe, btw what did Mercedes and Carmen look like? Were they fit or RAF?

Looked gorgeous, smelled gorgeous, were very gorgeous.

At one point ,one was soaping down my legs and arse while the other had a finger rotating around my arsehole.

Unfortunately, any possibility of a wild affair probably disappeared the following day after Carmen had to wipe my arse after I'd taken a shit in a bed pan.

Both events were firsts for me. I'll try to remember one forever and never speak of the other again.

When I got transferred to my nearest ICU the duty fell to an old bird and a hairy bloke.

Jeeezzuss it's a wonder you didn't have another heart attack! I hear Rodders is now moving to Spain and trying to arrange a heart attack on the steps of that same ICU !

However; they are two of the greatest songwriters and poets of any generation. I just prefer to hear other people sing their songs.

#justsaying

theres an album called tower of power with everyone elses versions of LC songs ,everybody knows with don henley from the eagles is a must and the story of Isaac by susanne vega is haunting !

One of my Favourite Bands and albums...

On second and third listening it gets even better. Honestly their best work since the Black Album. And Kirk Hammett's playing has finally matured into top-tier guitarist type stuff. Superb album.

Kirk apparently lost his collection of riffs which was stored on a mp3 device with no backup so hasn't done much writing for this album - could be a reason why its improved. Any way its fucking awesome. BTW theres a load of digital releases on website most free of old shows downloaded a shedful

It's also great to hear them move away from that Rick Rubin compressed-to-death sound.

More polished sound. Fantastic. Got the Black album in the car at moment, all classics and being played loudly. BTW i am not driving and on line just in case.
