Just thought a light hearted poll might be amusing - if you dont agree thats completley fine - can't you just ignore the thread? Heck, lets not rip into everyone if you disagree with the amusement level of a poll. There have been far sillier ones than this.

Sheez, some people have happily voted and the negativity is just bringing this down. Forget it - i'll be careful not to make any jokes in future unless I've cleared their amusement level with the majority.

don't worry we have humour. just check out behind closed doors. however anything to with the band can be deadly serious. however we reagulary take the piss out of them as well. ignore the negative sentiment. its just that we did this a few months back and you didn't know, not your fault. i guess im a former student and if you check my name on google you will find that i am an internationaly known german soccer hooligan.

Don't take it personal Mil...

People are quite sensitive about fan divisions.

Yes, I did too, and I'm still sorry... at least it stands as a record of how people like me can get overexcited with the wrong end of the stick!

What were you thinking when you posed for this?!

far out that even looks a bit like me. I'd never pose like that though, and the tie has to go.

sorry Mil, didnt realise you hadnt seen this before

What about girlies?

I'm not spotty or a footy hooligan (but i must admit Green Streets was like porn to me!)

You are therefore a unique and fascinating NO fan; just like the rest of us!

Gee fanks mister!

Glad we sorted that Alastair.

What I like about this board is that arguments can start. I welcome that completley. I was on a board once that I got banned from because I wrote a word all in caps. They told me this was shouting and shouting was not allowed on the board. I queried this and was told that I apparentley had a history of poor spelling and typos. Well, pardon me for not whipping out the dictionary during a leisurely post.

Long live NOOL.

By the way miss jem - I'm a girl - but I'm also a student (well - sort of. inbetween actual school and uni). I guess you're neither. Special! Representitve of the diverse range NO caters for!

I was a spotty hooligan! :knight:

I sort of knew about JD in 1980 with LWTUA vid played on Countdown(Aussie pop/rock show circa '70s/80s on gov-run ABCTV). Ian "MOLLY" Meldrum, the talking-head of the show said shortly after the vid was shown that JD were "splitting up" which I suppose was decided by ABC execs as more sensitive to say on a teen-oriented prog such as Countdown as opposed to saying JD's future was up in the air after the lead singer topped himself. I rediscovered JD(in a roundabout way) after a shortened version of BM was played on the same show in 1983. Later that year I became involved through high school work experience in a uni-based community broadcaster called 2XX. There, while looking through thier record library, I came across the 12" green sleeve Aussie release of Ceremony. I gave it a spin on a turntable in a disused spare studio and was very surprised how different it was to BM. Read the credits; written by Joy Division. How generous I thought, giving one of thier songs to another band to record. Eventually got to know more NO fans that worked there and discovered the real link between the two. Loved both forms of the band non-stop since.

I'll tell you a secret, i used to be a student. Don't tell anybody!

I seem to recall a particular gig at Preston Guildhall where certain individuals of a hooligan persuasion (football or otherwise) were fighting with students (or were they just spotty or goths?). Not sure who won but I'm sure Hooky interjected at some point. On one visit to the loo I distinctly remember someone saying to a large number of similarly attired people that 'this place is full of fukin students'.

Erm... Skinhead (the Aitch is silent oh well spoken types) when I first heard them then scally type in my mid teens to druggy clubber in my twenties to real ale drinking couch potato in my thirties. Barney mentioned that type of fan in an interview none of you have ever read, honest. Where's my box then?
