Of course we're cursed. It was Burni and the Ashes.

Summer '96 - the Euro QF Saturday - we broke into a warehouse in Ashburton Grove, tripping in the early afternoon, so we could do a party there that night.

During the party, I cut the artery by my temple, went to hospital and got bandaged up. Came back to the party, but an hour later, it started pīssing blood again. Went back out, the police wouldn't call an ambulance unless we told them who was doing the party. Got to the Rocket on Holloway Rd, called 999 from a phone box but they didn't believe us, even when the security guard came and spoke to them on the phone.

I'm pouring blood and starting to feel weak. Luckily some hippy raver couple who were just on the way to the party saw us and gave me and my best mate a lift to the Hospital. We told them to say what had happened when they went back and got to the door so they got in free and got sorted out some freebies. The other mate who'd come out with me saw to that.

Sunday morning, when a very good (now sadly dead) friend went to the offie, she got lost but then found my trail of blood and followed it back to the party.

So that warehouse tried to kill me, but then Arsčne came and won us doubles and built a new stadium on the cünting building. So when we score, you're all jumping up and down on the grave of the warehouse that I fought to the death.

You don't think it's my blood that's cursed, do you?
