Cos I'm a bit confused... ...i dunno, I reckon Robyn's got it just about sussed. Seems to me that she's packed more into a visit to Gisborne than most people do in a whole lifetime. Why, she went to the gallery and a whole 2 cafes. And stayed a night there too. Last time I went there I just bought a can opener and kept on going...

I am sorry to admit that I would have been fanboyish about Marr, had I been there. Does he actually add much to the band other than his guitar? From this angle it seems a bit of a stunt.

Does anyone remember the name of a CD compilation that had that track on it. It also had a Snap-esque track called 'I need rhythm'... Also does anyone know if the lyrics to the 'What can we say' album are up online somewhere? Cheers! ‘The One about Girls’ has long been a personal favourite.

Who would want to be tacked on to the sides and back of somebody else's memorial? It makes one wonder what is round the back of the Lincoln Memorial, or tucked into a corner of Trafalgar Square.

The show is set in a toy shop and on display was (allegedly) original big ted as used in the UK version of Play School. The warm up man started telling us about them but was quickly silenced by the production staff so i don't think we were meant to know (but the truth is out now perhaps?)

Albeit in their decapitated form. one of the last things we did in the UK before emigrating to New Zealand less than 3 months ago was to go watch a comedy show being made at the BBC studios in London.
