But... I wore the hat at the Lemon Tree! He must have been at our gig in Perth and pinched it from my bag The crafty devil... And he's bent the horns too look!! That's it! He's in for a kicking the next time I see him

Well, having 8 new songs we are now in the joyous position of being able to pick and choose what we play... this will probably mean a lot more setlist variation, and obviously we can't keep everyone happy all the time at every gig by playing their favourite song... but which songs (old & new) would you like us to play in the next few gigs? Was there anything we didn't play at the cd launch that you'd really like to hear? I'm quite interested in which of the new songs will prove to be the most popular. Any thoughts?

Years of not going to the dentist, then half of a tooth falling out while I was brushing it, then having emergency dentistry, then going to the dentist and having 4 massive fillings to add to the 3 massive fillings I already had... take heed people, look after your teeth, it's really not worth the hassle and pain in the long run I really hadn't realised that my hat had achieved such popularity and notoriety... Now I'll never be able to not wear it again! Thanks for all the offers of death on my behalf, but hopefully it won't be neccessary

I've read them all a couple of times, and personally I enjoyed the first 2 the most. It all gets a bit silly later on in the series... The Dirk Gently books are awesome too, particularly 'Long Dark Teatime of the Soul'

We played paintball at the weekend, and I took several bullets for myself... I have a massive purple, blue and red bruise on the back of one of my thighs, which I am reminded of every time I sit down. Erskine also shot me quite painfully in the back... bastard! However, if I started using Atomites as human shields I believe it might affect our popularity as a band...

Bloody hell no! They were crappy football shirt type jobs... the Number of the Beast one used to look good on my wall though That's yer official type Fear of the Dark all-over print in that picture, that is!

:D Ah brings back the memories... Pat had very fast fingers, but only on one hand which caused some problems... I think that was why we sacked him if I recall correctly, although, you know, the 70's are a bit of a haze for me so my memory may fail me...

Cool man, cheers! We had a chap video the gig for us, so maybe we could get an alternate angle version of it... although I seem to remember arsing the key-change... but who cares, shit happens, the gig felt tremendous! Nice to see you here Yobro

I'd have given my left arse to be at that gig, but we were playing in Perth.

Hi min thats just cockrock pish min loaday shite min far did I put ma ectos min, I'm sure I left them round here somewhere... oh no, my horse has eaten them, nae wonder he's so high...

Your jibes are becoming a bit less innovative and constructive aren't they? Go on Stripey, entertain us, do!

NEIGHHHHH!!! I am Stripey, King of the Britons.

ARTHUR: How do you do, good lady? I am Arthur, King of the Britons. Who's castle is that? WOMAN: King of the who? ARTHUR: The Britons. WOMAN: Who are the Britons? ARTHUR: Well, we all are. We are all Britons, and I am your king. WOMAN: I didn't know we had a king. I thought we were an autonomous collective. DENNIS: You're fooling yourself. We're living in a dictatorship: a self-perpetuating autocracy in which the working classes-- WOMAN: Oh, there you go bringing class into it again. This is all very fun but I'm going to have to go to bed soon.

That's 'backward' Rass... 'backwood' is what's behind Erskine's house where the bodies are buried...

Whereas your ambient background electronica is cutting edge baby... yeah!

*ahem* NEIGH!!

Well, I listened to it... what can I say... I kept expecting it to start, or for something to happen... and it didn't really. I was programming stuff in college a couple of years ago along the same lines... although I tried to have distinct sections in mine where stuff actually happens. Hey perhaps I should upload it, you might love it, you never know...

That's the point, it's NOT cock rock... or did you fail to spot the sarcasm I displayed earlier? Progressive metal... where is the cock?! Firmly INSIDE our trousers, and it doesn't come out and penetrate the beautiful vadge of music... ahem... NEIGH

NEIGH!!

Whereas you are so complex you say one thing one minute and completely contradict yourslef the next... nice to know that our "uninteresting, incoherent" track is "nice work." Thanks!
