And I'm exacyly the same. Not about the London Boys bit (yeah, I do 
remember them), but all the rest. I first started to listen to Mark and 
Lard in the summer of '96, mainly so it was so rib-ticklingly funny. 
But I started listening more to the music, and really started to get 
into it. All my 'indie' type taste spring from listening to Mark and 
Marc, as well as my love of poets like Ian Macmillan and the Bard of 
Marsden, Simon Armitage.

I have M+M to thank for B+S ('Judy' was the first track I heard), 
Kenickie, MSP etc etc. I stil listen to the few shows I have taped, 
including the whole of the last week. Oh, how  we cried on that last 
night....



Oh, well, they're still about, if only on t'afternons.


See ya,
