Sorry to stay OT for a sec, but the classical tangent brought this to mind: [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Penetrating-Wagners-Ring-Capo-Paperback/dp/0306804379/"]http://www.amazon.co.../dp/0306804379/[/url]

It's an old book - and a serious one - but thanks to the Internet, the man/woman on the street can now add his/her own reviews :-)

An enter-taining tome:reminds me of that show-song "Himmlers Ring" (Sorry OT)

The first time Bono rode a bicycle without stabilisers he ended up falling off

He promises to only ride tricycles from now on, and he has completely given up on his dream of riding a unicycle one day. Money can't buy everything it seems....

neither Neil Diamond nor Ali Campbell actually drink Red Wine as they find it gives them a headache

Prince's father is Paul King.

Yngwie Malmsteen changed his name from Lars Johan Yngve Lannerbäck following a bad rack of tiles at scrabble.

Like others of their species, the band Jellyfish have self digested their brains.

Morrisey likes a bacon sandwich.

some facts about The Cure.

In actual fact The Cure cant stand cats.

At some point during the late 70's- early 80's, the band thought it would be fun to rename themselves after modern text speak, even though the mobile phone had yet to be invented. Members at the time included brb Gallup on bass, l8rs m8 Hartley on keys and pmsl Hedges doing production duties. After a month or two, the band decided mostly to drop the monikers, with only the drummer labouring the joke onward, as drummers are wont to do.

Scarily hairstyled frontman Robert ROFLMAO Smith was once asked how he got his lips looking that way. "Well,I eat raspberry jam with a wooden spoon" he crooned.

The bands seminal hit 'A Forest' was written after a chance encounter with ABBA's pubic stunt wigs in the 70's. It also explains Roberts signature 'do.

James Brown's Papa took it back to M&S for a refund.

Let's hope it was within the 30 days allowed and he went by Night Train. Also that he didn't take it back to the Men's Department...
