Brad and Ange are suing the Screws

for saying their marriage is on the rocks

onthehushhush 17:29, reply

ahem ,*points down* as a 'Manc keyboard warrior' may I point out

that neither New Order nor 'Gerry and the Holograms', were the first musos to leave the stage with the instruments still playing. Kraftwerk had robots, or mannequins manufactured and they were first used on stage at gigs in 1978, without the actual members on stage and only to playback music. Kraftwerk of course were a big influence on New Order....(one of the funnier to happen to the godawful Spandau Ballet in their early '80s pomp was when they went to New York and under the conceit that black New Yorkers would lurrvve their "soul" music. They went to black clubs only to find 'em playing electro, Kraftwerk and 'Blue Monday' every five minutes...)

Peter Hooks new Manchester Club

called FAC251 (geddit?) in the old Factory Records building, hosted Hooky's new band on friday night. They played some new stuff and then ripped into some Joy Div/New order classics with gusto, like the pub-band they are. In fact Hooky sang Blue Monday without even having to touch the guitar slung round his neck- an achievement for such a bass-heavy track!

And finally the answer to why Peter Hook seems to source such phallicaly-huge Bass Guitars: He is a 5foot 6in shortarse! (as I didn't tell him in the VIP bar afterwards.)

Our Favourite Tory Ranter

is at it again with an article claiming that global warming is a construction of those wishy-washy lefties at the BBC. Now, if I lived in Harwich, I'd probably be hedging my bets on whether I was going to end up under 12 foot of seawater. Even funnier are the comments, one of which seems to claim that all this Global Warming nonsense boils down to people not having gone to the right type of school.

when i asked hanningfield

how he managed to square his expenses at ecc with his allowances from the lords, as it appeared he had been in two places at once and charging for both, he told me he worked 365 days a year, so that's all right then.

Having witnessed Mandleson work the predominantly middle class, dye hard Tory passengers in the departure lounge at Corfu airport last summer before we all boarded a sleazyjet flight back I am a fan. The Prince of Darkness is everything Cameron and Osborne are not - hung parliament is a good call.

But a bad result, at the back end of a recession.

A government that can make decisions without having to barter each time is going to be absolutely necessary. I'd rather have four more years of the Useless Cunt than neither one thing nor the other, frankly. (Lucky this media board allows us to discuss such things, innits?)

medium_smart 12:04, reply

you are, of course, correct. Which is why the Tories shoudl kick Cameron and Osborne into touch and get Hague and Clarke - then they would romp it
