They are talking about introducing a Table in their stores so you do not lose them, over any period.

How noble of them. Assuming it's not just some sort of shell game, anyhow.

One would think so, but I'm guessing they will have difficulties to iron out.

And it will cost. Earthing, airlocks, fire insurance, waterproofing... :(

The fourth member of the band was sacked early in his career for overplaying during the middle 8. hence the expression 'too much water under the bridge'.

He went on to team up with Mike Scott and Boy George.

For legal reasons, the title and lyrics of a Byrds song 'Ate Mile's Pie', inspired by the accidental scoffing of a trumpet player's lunch, had to be re-written.

Luckily they found inspiration - or rather expiration, as the eventually title describes their audible exhalation on seeing Eminem's feature-film début.

Astronomy Domine was co-written by Sir Patrick Moore. Due to contractual reasons it never apperared on the original US vinyl release of TPATGOD and was never credited on the UK release as he was under contract to NASA.

Happy 100,000 views, thanks to all who have contributed and err...viewed.

Today's big question, do we stop at 100,000 (ish) or continue?
