Somebody, somewhere in Swadlincote, South Derbyshire will probably have a copy of it on home video. I pity them, but am also slightly intrigued. Other than that, it's purely in my and my partner-in-rap's heads now.
I do have a copy of my first two demo tapes under the guise 'Pitch Invasion' though, the first tape with a football theme (four songs 'Motherwell', 'Queen of The South' and two more I can't remember) and one with a famous twats theme (four songs again, 'Do I Look Like Elton John?', 'George Michael', 'Bright & Poppy' and 'Fill Collins', the chorus of which contained the memorable lines; 'Phil Collins, what do you see? When you look in the mirror each day. Is it short, fat and ugly? Yes it is, 'cos it's you'
So much bile for fourteen year olds!)

Not sure what would be worse, Grease songs, or hymns. Still hymns I think. Do they still make you have "a daily act of worship" at school?

I was talking to my mate last night about how Cubs seems really cult like when you look back at it.
The standing to attention as the flag is raised
The special salute and hand gesture
The special uniform and badges
The cubs allegiance thing
The codenames the leaders are given
The need for axe, knife and firemaking skills (we know what these practical skills a really for, GUERILLA WARFARE!)

hmm, what about "Brownies"??
my mum always thought it was funny that the "leader" was called Brown Owl.
I never got why...
well, we had this rule where you HAD to turn up with your little kit.. of like, a saftey pin, hanky, 10p (for the phone), a notebook and pen, a piece of string...etc etc..
y'know, really useful stuff.

Does this all get kept in a handbag?
My mum was never in the brownies but she is always prepared with bandages tissues ointments etc.
I always have the ability to make fire, cut things and tie things, but that is probably just cos I have a vivid imagination.

I had to have all that stuff, we used to have kit inspection every week as well.
We had a plastic folder which also contained our Cubs Handbook - the guide to being a perfect GUERILLA FIGHTER.
I did try to get some of the badges on my bag recently but failed...

hmm, what about "Brownies"?? Yeah, Brownies is even worse apparently! A friend of mine used to be involved with Guides and she said they had to dance round a toadstool. The thought of kids dancing round a mushroom and singing in unison under the control of people called "Brown Owl" quite frankly scares the crap out of me... |

I dunno, fanatical football fans aren't much different from the Cub Scouts... you have the songs you sing, nicknames for people, all manner of shit.
Are Cub Scout handy packs different know? I can imagine a mobile phone, battery charger, small screwdriver for screws on the skateboard...

I'll have you know that as a loyal member of the Green Army I take offense at that sugestion, Trigger will be round in a minute to beat you to a pulp just like those Excreata and Torqueer scum  "P. A. F. C. Green and White, Barmy Army!" |

I was a scout. It helped to bring about my well rounded personality and unflinching respect for authority and tradition.

I think girls can join Scouts and Cubs now, it doesn't work the other way though  |
