Gary Leeson, Friars fan, writing for the Friars Aylesbury website in 2008:
"Friars was not only the scene of some of my most happy musical memories it was also the scene of one of the most embarrassing moments of my life.
After a fairly unmemorable set by Roogalator I had to heed the call of nature, so headed downstairs to the toilets, they were crowded with fans having a last minute wee before the Stranglers came on.
Job done, I picked up the loose loo roll and horrors of horrors it fell from my grasp and in classic slow motion, bounced off the end of my boot and rolled out under the door. The noise outside the cubicle subsided for a few seconds before the cheering, sniggering and laughing started, my street credability evaporated in seconds. Luckily I still held the end of the loo roll and slowly started to reel it back in to the sounds of course and witty remarks together with banging on the door as fans made their way back to the hall.
I was so embarrassed that I didn`t leave the cubicle until the Stranglers were well into their set. I found my mates who all assumed that I had passed out in true rock n roll style some where in the Civic, I never did tell them the real reason for my disappearance. "
