Like most things, it's just down to personal taste, not every band from
Scotland can be good, some are great some are shite. Personally I think
Mogwai and Arab Strap are brilliant on the whole, but thats just my opinion
and thats all it is.

Craig Mclauchlan was in Bugs until this new series .... not that I watch it
mind.

Nah, don't you remember, John Stapleton and his nosey wife kept beating him
to all the consumer reports.

I can take or leave them, they're OK, but ever so slightly overrated,
Morrisey's solo career isn't/wasn't much cop at all though, with the
exception of a few good singles.

James had a beard in 91/92 and it looked shit then. Just take a look at the
video for Motrcycle Emptiness to see how silly they looked.

My mate saw her shopping in Chester.

He used to be member of Brackenwood golf club before he hit the "big time".
To the older generation he was hilarious, to mine he was an annoying unfunny
twat. he and Mick Johno can often be spotted in the main stand at Tranmere
home games as well, or Yates in Birkenhead.

I've met Ian Broudie, at a Manics gig in Liverpool and I gave Mike Peters of
the Alarm and his wife a golf lesson.
