So tell me...why the hell do you lot keep coming back here? :rolleyes: Nothing better to do or have you become an ADDICT like some i could mention.Even when there is nothing much being posted i still come and view at least 4 times a day.So what makes you want to come back time after time.Is it that you are wondering if TABOO #7 has got a girlfriend?Or if JEFF is going to talk sense.Are you hoping that another LIVE GEM will be offered by TIMBO or think that HUNTSMAN may just return with a new flavour of PRINGLES.I wish i could put my finger on the button but i'll just put it down to being nosey.Also there may just be something about the ORDER or JOY DIVISION that i haven't read about or forgotten.Let us know WHY and then maybe we can come up with a CURE! :laugh: Rocket Mick pondering the meaning of ONLINE LIFE! :eek3:

you come online for MEEEEEE!!! :love2:

No, really, we are just a bunch of people with no lives and extra time on our hands to type mindless things. :nod: :D

Do I have to answer?

I wanted to close the site, but people fought back, and now I have no choice but to continue :lol:

It takes so long downloading kiddie porn, I gotta find something to do :nonono:

Honestly, I don't get to see a lot of my high-school buddies anymore, we've all drifted apart, and I need somewhere to go to talk about Hasselhoff and the price of tea in China. Thus, here I am....

Now it's pure friendship :clap:

i feel terrible, because i feel that i´m contributing with the world´s decadence. and the fact that i don´t care about it really worries me... but then i stop thinking about it, i turn on the tv and watch the Iraq war live on CNN. :shrug:

hmmm.. where´s the popcorn? :skeptic:

i'm an addict because the perverse idea of knowing the personalities of a bunch of people i'll never meet (well, I've met a few of you, actually) who obsess about some 80's band that has no real bearing on anything at all. oh, and i need people to answer my JD questions.

Hoping to find somewhere to sleep when I invade the UK whenever NO starts gigging again.

3 Nov 2003, 20:40

I enjoy reading about The Cure.

3 Nov 2003, 20:41

where else will I find about upcoming gigs???

first heard about area:One here...Brixton here...Finsbury here...

and who would have led me to Celtic if not for the Shugster?!?!?!

So...I come here because I can't help it...call me an addict if you will! :p

if you would drink first then type up some posts, then that would be interesting

3 Nov 2003, 21:57

i am trying to work up the nerve to put some pants on and find a place to buy some beer.

wait, did i say that i had to put pants on? that would mean that i am sitting around in my boxers, typing... AND THAT IS NOT IS WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE!

3 Nov 2003, 22:05

So, baby...what are you wearing?

3 Nov 2003, 22:34

You working tomorrow Jeff? The Man U/Rangers match is on live on ESPN2 at 11:30 am Pacific; I'll be getting off work just as it's ending, so I'll just play the tape when I get home and pretend it's live.

Why do I come here? It beats the hell out of most TV, it's always a great place for information and it's a good place for banter, especially for those of us in the hinterlands of NO's scope of the world.

To annoy Scotland fans and generally be ignored by you all :cry: :D

No idea why I keep coming back. One habit I can't kick I guess. But then I also keep a close eye on WIM, the Ceremony list and the usenet forums as well, though am nowhere near as active in any of them. Mind, those forums themselves aren't as active as this one when it comes to all things New Order. I'd like to take a step back but it's not really my style: am one of those people who always has to have his say.

Besides though, have met a lot of people through this forum and have a few good personal friends as a result too. You Know Who You Are. Shame that there's so little activity from the band though, whether live or on record, cos it does seem like a bit of a lull at the mo' and you can see a lot of peoples interests dwindling during the hiatus.

Why do I come back ? Because of everyone else, the interaction with people all over the world about my favourite band. For many years I thought I lived in a vacuum with only the bond of sporadic gigs to keep the interest going - finding this place I realised that there were a thousand people just like me.....

I've made a lot of good friends from this site, and the site has rekindled the interest that I had allowed to subside between 1989 and 2001. Plus, I've learned a lot more, got even more gig CDs/tapes, and been in the same pub as Julio !

Which proves there is always a DOWN side to any forum!Sorry JULIO but it had to be said! :wink:

Good, thanks RM,apart from the bad news Ive just recieved from the GP...discovered after a dozen blood tests that Ive got Hypothyroidism. Couldn`t understand the GP, one of the symptoms is mental retardation, so I looked it up on google and the long list of symptoms explains my life of misery. The medication takes about a month to take effect, a new me...thank god :)

Bloomin eck! A decent thread from Rocket Baldy :jawdrop:

I will use Jarvo's reply on the previous page, to keep updated on all things Neworder, and luckily enough I have made God knows how many pals and great contacts in which I trade / share my collection. Hell, I have even made pals (and met) with Americans:D

I come here also to spread the word of Celtic, beer and porn :karate:
