and how do you wind down (legally) lol
yes that post gig ritual what do you do after a show?
Have a pooh. lol
Being Serious though, 1 pint cause I'm usually driving. If we've been playing over the otherside of the Pennines we usually stop of at a 24 hous truckers cafe for a Sausage and Egg barm, awsome. Roj
Toast, more beer, occasionally pizza and even more occasionally a burger with 4 strips of kebab meat on it. I can only handle 4 strips of doner meat before I want something to EAT.
Nice big mug of coffee and whatever the kids have missed in the sweety jar [if anything] Then I have a pooh!
I used to call in tesco's on the way home from a gig, As they used to serve beer 24 hours, but since they kyboshed that I prepare in advance and once landed back home I fire up the old PC, crack open a beer and generally get arseholed.....lol
This pooh pattern is going a long way to explaining the buttock clenching onstage poses among us 40+ geezers. :oD
Good man Trubshaw! \m/
often a pizza, but fave is to make 2 big doorstop sandwiches(unless theyve no doorstops in stock at Morrisons) with loads of water to rehydrate, then after an hour or so bed, dont tend to have a beer after a gig at home much dont know why
Must be done sir!!!!...I usually do all the driving, unless it's a local gig for me, and I dont even have one pint, so if me and me fellow Lazzy's have had a good un it's home asap and beer asap. If it's a local gig, Bell and Barrel, then i will indulge slightly and after head round st helens and get bolloxsed.....lol
couple of pints after the gig (if my wonderful woman (creep,creep) is driving) then home to crack open a bottle of red and hit the pringles and pc.
Kebab with Satans arse destroyer chilli sauce, then off to bed with some Chuck Norris eyedrops and the dremel arsewhisk at the ready for the inevitable eruption the following morning.

"The godly food you create, you could be a tour caterer with the least effort bro. DAMN.
lololol @ dremmel arsewhisk!!! (off to B&Q in the morning)! After a fnarr! fnarr! gig its always a Shalimar special .... doner, chicken and lamb with all the trimmings on garlic naan (chilli and garlic mayo separate) - free garlic bread with cheese for the 10 minutes in the bus back home. Then back at home - half the Shali with a few more cans ... or a can of coke if i'm toooo pissed ... then the rest of the kebab in the micro the next morning/afternoon. Heaven, I'm in heaven .................. Willow

Brilliant Blog Rob, Scott I'm sta here absolutely pissin me sides laughin and also coughing me guts up, Fookin really funny.
wATER ,or fizzy vimto 2 packets of walkers crisps(salt n vinegar ) as im usually driving 50 miles or so home,then after unloading , ( no not a poo ! thats later )and the birds are tweeting ,i have a big cuppa tea then bed ,( unless i have to go poo )lol
A bottle of white wine and a corned beef and picalilly butty. I wish a cuppa tea would suffice but it rarely does!
Ha ha, often a Donner with chilli sauce, I'm usually starvin after a gig. Sometimes I wait til I get home and raid the fridge for left over take aways or make big toasties with whatever I can find. Usually keep off the beer though as the kids get up any time from 6am onwards, and they may/may not wake me up early as well... Jon
The caterers and groupies on the plane are excellent, but if we are doing a local pub gig and I get the chance on the way home, a Ginsters pastie or curried wrap from the services will do the job. In Wigan, it's a superb King kebab after the gig (and it will be on Saturday, seeing as we are Winston's twice this month). When I get home, it's usually quick to bed.
I raid the freezer, last week at 1am I managed to rustle up a steak and ale pie with a southern fried chicken breast. mmmm. deeeeeee-licious!
BRAZIL'S VERSION OF AN EMPANADA, THIS HANDMADE PUFF PASTRY PIE IS STUFFED WITH BLACK BEANS, OKRA, TOMATOES & CHEESE AND DRIZZLED WITH A TAMED HABANERA LEMON SAUCE.(It was pretty good, but I am told that its not very Brazillian.)then White wine, basil, buffallo mozz., basil, tomato salad -pasta putanesca with red wine lots of jewish bread (with the end cut off), some nice red wine, pineapple more fuggin wine of an underterminate colour possibly rose? Then some leftover chicken stew and mashed potatoes. I had more grand plans but it got too late to start(perhaps tonight instead) I'm hoping to post descriptions plus recipes and photos of more of my cooking goodness on my upcoming food blog. Need to snag me a cheap digicam to get pics as I will not set up the good gear on a nightly basis (I don't think) unless the food looks particularly spectacular. Then I finish off with Tangfastics and I fall over puking and am carried upstairs by several trolls from the land of Jjundriem where I'm laid out to sleep the Drunkening sleep of the magic cat of Buejjrra...
simple one BIG pot of tea, its game over for me after that! i dont know why but im never really hungry after a gig nor do i fancy a drink when i get home! weird innit!
37 pints of Magners
I used to be a 100% kebab man...hotter the better...until...I got one from some dodgy place...woke up in morning and remains of kebab had what looked like Ajax powder all over it...the bastards.....I was ill for about 3 days. Since then I've heard a lot about what goes into the 'elephants' leg...so no more. Although there's a Greek place in Bolton that does the proper thing, but its always shut by time we drive past. And on the subject of kebabs...what really used to rile me was when they gave you one that had meat that had been stewing in hot water...not freshly sliced off...disgusting
We supplied the musical interludes between the bingo in a working mens club in Barnsley once. After the gig I noticed a kebab van in the carpark..wooohooo..sustainance for the drive down the M62 I thought. "Large donner please m8"..."any sauce with that?"... "yeh, hot sauce please"...I was 3 miles away before I realised he'd squeezed the one kind of sauce he had into a bowl and MICROWAVED IT !!..well ..it was hot I suppose..you get what you ask for in Yorkshire guys..lol
cople of bottles of aussie red.whis,bourbon,vodka & coke 4 Shell ..normally till 4-5am then off to for a few hours ....living in irlam all takeaways are closed by time we get in ....so rarely have nothing .sometimes we mite do a cheese n ham toastie .. !!!
miniature bread.
......with big slices of ham ..recipe for disaster that Rob
haha classic tap!
ive been working with this for about an hour..... yep but if you fold it its half the size....
I don't know about anyone else, but I still get nervous before a gig, so I tend to pooh before as it really is a natural laxative for me. Always take toilet paper with me as well cos 9 times out of 10 there's no bog roll at the pub. I try to save a bit of pizza for when I get home, and have that with a beer before hitting the sack. Pizza is my ritual food before I gig every time.Does anyone else eat a particular food before gigging? Last time at Old Osaacs, Ian from the kerbs wa getting his gnashers into a right dirty Kebab and chips. OOOh I'm hungry. Off to the kitchen.
......for those about to sleep..................fire!....mission complete.....lol
