Hello fellow Floydians! I'm MisterBadger, otherwise known as Allen, from beautiful Devon in the West of England.

I've been a Floyd fan from way, way back. I have the original albums on vinyl, as well as the "supplemental" CDs and MP3 collections. I have fond memories of Alan Freeman's Saturday afternoon Rock Show when he played "Dark Side of the Moon" all the way through, with just a break to turn the vinyl album over! I have a small collection of "obscurities" and found the forum while tracking down the phrase "Looking Through The Knothole in Granny's Wooden Leg" - a phrase from The Goon Show once used by Roger Waters to introduce an early Live version of "Echoes". The search engine directed me here...

So here I am. Anything else you'd like to know, just ask. See you all later!

Welcome, Allen! As you found out by searching for that phrase, we have all sorts of Pink Floyd material around the website, and thousands of topics of Pink Floyd-related discussions (as well as thousands of not-so-Pink Floyd-related ones ). Just navigate around or use the search box on the upper-right side of your screen.

We hope you enjoy your time here!

Hello Allen and welcome to the site! Heh, I love listening to those on-stage Watersisms from 1970s Pink Floyd concert bootlegs. They definitely had a taste for absurdism in those days!

Thanks for the welcomes, it's much appreciated! After years of Floyd Fandom I finally got around to joining a forum with other fans! I can't believe it took so long... I put it down to sorting out my collection of "Floyd Miscellanies" and listening to a selection of old faves, where I (re)discovered the "Looking Through The Knothole..." comment. I'm not sure which I prefer, Roger's whimsical announcements or Dave's giggling fits during certain performances of "Fat Old Sun"!

It's good to be amongst like-minded people who enjoy what my "other half" refers to as "bleepy-bloopy space music" - so she's the one who married the hippie!

Thanks again for the welcomes.

Allen

One of my favourites is the "Fish Report with a Beat" segment of Roger's Radio KAOS tour: three minutes of sports fishing double-entendres (in STEREO!!!!), hah.
