Yup, from Cardiff I think. I'm not sure about the Atomic Rooster connection, but I guess its possible. There was some turnover. I could tell you were pretty close to my age. I'm 33 in a few days.

I definitely wasn't too heavily into that stuff, but I did listen to Ministry, Circle Jerks, Black Flag, Meat Puppets, Love and Rockets, Pixies, Skinny Puppy etc. I worked in a big record superstore with a bunch of punks, so I got exposed:-)
I actually like Ministry a lot. My dh was definitely more into punk growing up though. He's excited about White Stripes right now. He likes Sex Pistols, Rancid, Clash type stuff most.

For the record, I would assume you thought GWAR sucked even if you hadn't said so!

Oh, Big Black! Songs About Fucking? Yeah, I doubt my neighbour would have liked that very much:-).

I haven't seen the Osbornes yet, though I'm dying to. I'm in Canada, so we couldn't get it, but apparently CTV has picked it up for the fall. I can't wait to see Iron Man take out the trash!
