Were they four black guys playing rocky stuff? If so it'll be The Thirst, as seen at two Offlines
They're brill - we have one of their CDs - I think maybe from a very long ago Offline?

Big heaving crowds, as opposed to a small amount of people.

So football matches, gigs and festivals are all out for you, yes?

Well I'm not a fan of football anyway, but as for the music yes pretty much so - even Offlines are too busy for my liking.
In the last 10 years I've been to two gigs - Level 42 at Portsmouth Guildhall and Duran Duran at Wembley. I did enjoy them but I was very glad to get out of both afterwards.
I try and avoid travelling on the tube during the rushhour if I can, and I'd rather wait for another bus than elbow my way onto an already crowded one.
Of course, I can 'overcome' the problem if I have to (such as if I'm running late) but I do find it stressful and try not to put myself in those situations more than I have to, and if it's an event the stress of going often spoils my enjoyment.
*shrug* it's not that uncommon really.

I think you'll find an awful lot of people would have been very glad to get out of those two gigs too.

sound like great gigs.
i know aj's a bit of an eeyore/marvin and a racist, but people shouldn't have a go at him for having a phobia of crowds.

... and there's a lot of things I'd like to have gone to, but haven't been able to overcome.
But this is all a bit off-topic really, I don't expect there will be that many 80's groups headlining a Brixton Splash.

Let's hope not....especially if it's gonna draw you and your disapproval out in to the light.

no. they nearly appeared at the country fair last year, but didn't get there in time

i think you'd get on better with the fair as there are only really big crowds next to the stage - if you can handle the market, you can handle the fair. go next year. you might even enjoy yourself.

This year I had nobody to go with. Maybe next year we will try it.
As regards the market, when I go shopping, I have a plan and a purpose. As long as I keep focussed on I have to go to this shop to buy A, B, C, then to that shop to buy D, E, then Iceland to get F, G, H, then get the bus home, I am fine. It's just when I stop to think or get interrupted by my mobile or something that I lose focus, and I realise where I am and what I'm doing.

I wonder if there's a mild form of agoraphobia where people can go outside, but not really go anywhere that they're not familiar with?

Oh well, I'm pretty much the same. I've no time for Brixton, and if someone asked me to come to Oxford Street, I'd tell them to fuck right off

i'm fine with big gigs, crowds, demos etc, but the tube is just horrendous and has my heart racing. one of the many reasons i cycle to work.

i dunno. other situations don't bother me - lifts, overcrowded parties in small rooms etc. it's just the tube, and only if it's really crowded. and if it's hot, it's even worse.

You had to have a phobia whose name begins with "Enoch", didn't you?
Sure this aint a wind up?
