A good konking: Pritchard decks Turner

Manbags at dawn – it’s an indie bitchfight between Kooks frontman Luke Pritchard and head Arctic Monkey Alex Turner.
Pritchard told The Daily Mirror he gave Turner the boot after a failed attempt at pulling the plug on one of their live shows.
Turner said: "We have had a weird relationship with the Arctics since we first met. I had to kick Alex in the face after he tried to pull the leads out of my guitar pedals while we were on stage."
Perhaps that’s what konk means then.
He added: "I tried to patch things up with Alex recently but he just turned his back and walked away. I suppose they are quite arrogant."
The longer in the tooth among us may remember this lovely li’l nugget courtesy of the peerless Simon Amstell on Popworld.

Lets decide for future reference
PRICK chard

PRAT chard
I find Pratchard rolls easier off the tongue
OHHHHH
the awkwardness of that clip is intense
that interview
is brilliant
but excruciating to watch
Why did Alex Turner
have to kick Alex in the face though?
[/pedant]
i'm assuming...
possibly incorrectly.. but, do you get all your news stories from the forums? ;)
Haha
That Amstell clip is bloody classic.
The man's
a genius :D
I think...
they would have the worst fight ever. But i'd pay to see it!
the kooks are
really popular in america.

I'm sure Luke pritchard would love to bag Natalie Imbruglia but he's clearly forgetting two key things: A) he's ugly and B) his band is shit.
However he is a "man on the scene, and he can be obscene". Hold on a minute; he is a God!
That must be one big vagina...
or one very busy gurl, no?
