UK Drug Deaths
Along_the_Wire Gatecrasher Millennium and some ’crasher kids driving to the stadium had a crappy handwritten cardboard sign in the back window of their Renault 5 - MITSUBISHI TURBO GURNERS. Cue 4 lads with super spiky hair spilling out the car whilst licking their eyebrows only to end up queuing for 4 hours to get in.

The MD i took in the mid 00’s felt so different to stuff the last 10 years or so, but people say that’s because you’re brain changes. It always made me want to trip out on the couch tbh.
Glasgow is the worst in Europe now i hear. Sacking the Heroin for injecting shit coke now crazy for a 5 minute high.

From memory things started going tits up for people with Mitzi’s. Don’t remember many casualties prior to them. There were ones with speckles at the time that were largely lauded as being heroin/scag . Round our neck of the woods it was doves, Dennis the menace, rhubarb and custards, New Yorkers, then Mitzi’s. There were ones in 92 called M25’s that you were supposed to break in half but fuckers didn’t and lots cockled it on them. I remember going to a club called Kinetic in Stoke and people were dropping like flies on them.
Heroin in pills fkn hell, I’d say a lot of the pills the last 10 years are laced with K or Valium.
Snowballs were a decent hit too back in the day.
After the doves and before the Mitsis iirc

Mitsis were my era. It wasn’t the Mitsis IIRC, it was the slew of fakes and ultra-strong ones that followed.
The popularity had gone stratospheric - even Mixmag had a Mitsi cover at one point.
Everyone wanted Mitsis so any old shit was just being stamped as a Mitsi and people would buy it.
As for brown in pills - I always felt this was a long-running urban myth (what would be the point of cutting with something that was valuable and could be sold in its own right?)
Also, Kinetic was one of the first clubs I ever went to. Around 97. Some lad’s birthday I vaguely knew, everyone piled down on a coach. It was absolutely grim as fuck, proper mental happy hardcore nonsense with real nasty looking Stoke/Derby/Wolves lads everywhere.
So, were better off just getting MDMA crystals then instead of pressed pills..
Can’t believe Dave hasn’t mentioned seeing Oaky week in week out in at the height of his Courtyard residency yet.
So in summary, people are more likely to die now because pills are STRONGER than in the 90s and/or cut with MDA derivatives that are more likely to kills you?
Still want to know what happened in 2010…….was that when Dubfire started playing out more and no one ventured out?

I’ve kept half a dozen absolute bangers aside over the years for that special moment when I need to gurn my tits off, tell everyone that tune is Emerald, not remember a fucking thing the next day and get a bollocking for the next 48 hours from the missus for the ‘fucking state of me’
Along_the_Wire I’ve bought 15 punishers( love the name) a few weeks ago just to have for that reason! You would want to see the size of the bastards! Fuckin huge with loads of corners on them look like they will definitely punish me!
Haha you went on the Saturday then hardcore night. Firdays was the decent night. Although by 97 kinetic was a shit show. It ended in 93 in real terms there.
He did , it’s where he went cottaging.
I know. He shoehorns The End into every single thread.
