Is the curent Barney an imposter?

Is the curent Barney an imposter? Please consider the evidence:

He is friendly. He talks to the media. He gives encores He talks to the audience, cracking jokes. He is not quite as skinny as he used to be. He hardly swears during songs. He doesn't know his own lyrics, and uses an autocue.

All very compelling evidence wouldn't you agree that they brought in an actor.

I have reason to believe that the real Barney is still a thin miseryguts. I should know I have in the past claimed to be him.

:D

Hehe, Barney does look and act and a lot different to how he used to, it seems he's got more confident with himself as the years have gone on, being friendly to the audience and all.

For a minute I thought you was referring to those posts from that nut "arthouse" in the WIM forums. At first I was quite intrigued to what she was claiming but after reading her other posts she cleary has some mental problems going on there...

This has nothing to do with WIM.

Any of the following:

(Slightly) less use of alcohol/drugs

A record label that pays them (not the other way 'round)

Tony Wilson now at arm's length

A yacht like the M1

and Gillian is actuially Phil, Steve is unhappy with this new transformation

He's a Nexus 6. Give him the Voight-Kampff test and watch for involuntary dilation of the iris, the so-called "blush response."

I feel sorry for Steve.

A "skin job."

Send him back to the Off-World colonies.

Yes, he's Spike.

Ok, maybe William Shatner

All he'd wanted were the same answers the rest of us want. Where did I come from? Where am I going? How long have I got?

Tell me how you feel about your father, Bernard.

"My father? I'll tell you about my father!!"*

ZAP!

*Though admittedly in the film, it's his mother. But Barney always had father issues, did he not....

I knew that, the father thing was ad-libbed since it made more sense for Barney's CyberpunkSalford history .

I figured you did, but I'm such a fucking anal dork about stupid shit like movie lines.

Yes, let's start a 'Barny is dead' rumour. Is there anything on the current lp that when played backward sounds like 'turn me on dead man'?

i say barney got a new girl friend or wife and is pleaseing him quite well

I think the Pope has an actor do the nightshift.

He's always on here!
