I've just read someone's message saying that they thought that Andy Votel is 'the coolest guy in the world.'I'm sorry,but this is obviously some kind of joke-unless your idea of cool is a cross between Dave Lee Travis and a tramp.What's more,the 'guy' is one of the rudest and most ignorant people that I've ever had the misfortune of meeting.He parades up and down Oldham Street(in Manchester)with his brown-nosing group of sycophantic hangers-on,sneering down his hairy snout at anybody not wearing the right Adidas trainers. <BR>I know that this sounds a little bitter and personal,but I'm sick of people thinking that he's some kind of genius.Most of his ideas are so patently plagiarized(Burt Bacharach produced music boxes of his tunes about 35 years ago,the Alfie logo is about 25 years old...)and the people who are really creative and talented in Manchester are completely ignored if they don't fit in with his little clique. <BR>I suppose I'd better pause for breath now... <BR>And don't even get me started on Monkey-Boy from Alfie. <BR> __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
