Wikipedia is full of insufferable Kula Shaker details:
Mills went on a spiritual pilgrimage, backpacking around India. The trip had a profound effect on the guitarist, fostering a deep interest in Indian culture and Hinduism. Upon returning to the UK he formed a new band named The Kays, with Bevan, Winterhart, and Mills’ cousin Saul Dismont (son of the Bermudan politician Russell Dismont) on vocals. The band’s debut live performance was at the 1993 Glastonbury Festival.
Crispian and Alonza were also responsible for running the Mantra Shack, a psychedelic nightclub at the back of Richmond ice rink
Mills started to delve deeper into psychedelic music, and spent most of his A-Level years taking LSD and listening to The Doors.[12] Acid gave the teenaged Mills a change of perspective, but he soon realised that drugs alone would not bring him the enlightenment he sought. Watching close friends go “over the edge” on hallucinogens ultimately convinced Mills that there were other ways of changing one’s perspective.
Pretty sure that’ll be there.

What a goddamn tragic attempt at “upcycling”. Tasteless cretins.

Yeah awful. Lost count of the amount of times my missus and her mum have wanted to buy some cheap storage furniture that’s been painted duckegg blue and tastefully sanded away in certain areas. Shabby chic can fuck off.

Honestly, I’d be less offended if someone had swastika flag hanging above the fireplace.
My mum wanted me to put love laugh live, tried to talk her out of it to no avail.

You should’ve checkmate her by saying do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
Tempted to make one of those equally shit “House Rules” signs but slip in some actual proper rules like Don’t be a cunt etc in the swirly twee font so people don’t clock it straight away

Many years ago I had a friend who got a blacksmith to make up a house name sign. Lovely workmanship. The house name? Far Corfe.
