Hi. Whats septic slang for? Thanks.

@Vortigan07 2 жыл бұрын

@@ampersand6440 It's what's known as rhyming slang. In this example it goes like this - Septic = Septic Tank Septic Tank = Yank Yank = An American 👍

I wonder how many Americans other than myself purchased copies of "Down By the Jetty" and "Malpractice" when they came out in 1975? The only reason I bought "DBTJ" was 'cause I saw Bob Andrews and Brinsley Schwarz's name on the back and had LOVED those guys since "Nervous on the Road." Good ol' Wilko! Glad to see he's still around and he's definitely one of my all-time favorite guitar players. Gawd Bless Dr. Feelgood!

Love Wilko, one of the funniest guys ever, so natural and, well, just Wilko. That story about Ian Dury is hilarious! Loved Dr Feelgood back in the day, or should that be 'back in the night'....?! Never got the chance to see them live, but have seen Wilko live twice, brilliant guy to watch and listen to.

Saw the Feelgoods in Dublin 75 or 1976 best big of my life They were never as good after Wilco departed saying that they were better than most bands on the go at the time even after he left I still dig them in my old age💓😀🇮🇪

Just for those who are wondering, Wilco was diagnosed with an incurable cancer. he was given a year to live. He did a farewell tour and a doctor who was at one of the concerts looked at him and thought Wilco had been wrongly diagnosed. Long story short, he contacted Wilco and he is now cured. Couldn't of happened to a nicer bloke. For those who don't know, go find video's of Wilco playing with Dr Feelgood in the early days, he was out there, brilliant to watch.

No problem, I am dyslexic so I am used to it. Spell check didn't pick me up because it is a name. I grew up with Dr Feelgood and the Blockheads so 9 times out of 10 I will get Wilko's name right.
