I can get smug here!

Hello All,
            It turns out that I seem to be the only person on the list that
knows who the mystery Grob is! (Snortwind member found on a tape at Andy G’
s)
            I used to not only DJ with him in a collective called Brainbox
Pollution (we did festivals, Benefits, Concerts etc) but I also used to
share a house with him when I was at college in the East End of London. His
real name is Graham Robinson (hence Grob, it was a nickname given to him
inadvertently by a teacher that couldn’t read his name on an essay) He
is/was a driving member of the “the Dub Sound of I-Shen” (damn good dub in
the tradition of the Mad Professor) We also used to run the Boston Roadhouse
together, (a concert hall in Tufnell Park, North London) I was the manager,
he was the chap that booked groups.
            He also appears on the fairly obscure Imperial Pompadours LP,
playing (brace yourselves) an inflatable rubber chicken.
            I am surprised that no one else knows him or is aware of him on
this list, he is a hardcore HW fan, and has a VAST collection. (and I do
honestly mean vast, 15 years ago his entire collection was a named item on
the household contents insurance and valued at way over £1000 – I cant
remember the true figure. His non HW material took over most of the rest of
the house)
            Sorry about the delay in getting this to the list, but I was a
tad behind with the HW mails, I read nearly 1000 over the weekend! Which
brings to one or 2 points:
1) Space patrol by Gerry Anderson was called Space Precinct actually.
            2) In the crap 80’s group argument/discussion (which I don’t
want to start again, but
) why did no one mention Black Lace?
