Most politicians need shooting. You could say you are a non partisan, or get religion like Bongo. Still think it is great that NO's CD is at 29 in best of 2005. I think this particular chart is based on creativity and not on sales, as Willy Mason is in this chart. So not based on sales and whether Joe Bloggs bought the CD. Just bought a postcard of the Titanic lost out on another one too expensive went for £235.09, I wanted the card because it was one of the last produced of Titanic sailing from Southampton. I know this is nothing to do with NO, but it is one of my other obsessions.

GNU stuck up some political test thing and I came out like RIGHT in the centre, teeny bit left, but basically there were no other example plots near mine. I must be too scientific to make judgements based on dogma so I can never get dragged one way or other. Yhea the titanic left Belfast unsinkable and the bleeding English broke it....my story and I'm stickin to it :D You know they are building Titanic II...yeah I'd get on that....what about the HMS lockerbie too, that'd be a good name for a boat. I wish I could say I could poke around in belfast for you, but everyone here is far too cute to the whole titanic money spinner. Might be some nice cards of other things to be found tho, I'll keep an eye open. there used to be 3 antique shops in one street here and 2 of em had huge boxes of postcards and photo's going WAY back....closed now tho.

I didn't realise that NO's position was creativity realated....tho the question is begged....why are they not then number 1? :D

Your greetings are a bit harsh, your holiness. However, I agree that Bernard should take your suggestions as New Years Resolutions. :D

New Years resolution for Barney......

Ensure you do the following things:

Have a collagen implant or five

Get some liposuction

Invest in some Grecian 2000

Write some new songs

Stop fucking whooping like a tit at your gigs

Learn not to dance like your dad

On no account reform Joy Division

Give Brandon Flowers a good kicking and a couple of black eyes. This will save on him having to wear eye liner in future.

I agree Barney Girl! Green tea has antioxidants. Plus, if Bernard wants lose weight, and live long and healthy, he should eat Japanese food. Miso, fish, and seaweed work wonders.:)

Barney hitting the big "5-0"....:clap: :clap:

I think the boys are a pretty low level conservative "close to the chest" bunch. To keep going for almost 30 years in one form or another.

There not getting involved a lot in politics or social movement flavor of the month has probably added to their long term popularity with all people and their music.

Thankfully they will not be like Bongo that has to "smooz" with every politician of every stripe or sell his visage to sell cheesy Ipods built by Chinese slave labor.

So Barney can live where ever he wants. I think he could wander the USA to Walmarts and Kmarts and the backroads and would never be noticed as a middle-aged polite Englishman who likes to dance around and drink Pernod. If Cheshire is rural, it is probably why he likes it.

do i get to be no. 100? i can't beleive all this slagging of the leafy county went on without my noticing. the part where Barns lives is meant to be infested with witches and satanism. Don't know if thats got anything to do with why he lives there though. Personally i like it.Except for all those damn footballers in their hummers.

He's only 50? I would guess 62-63ish on first glance...

Just keep up the steady diet of the drugs and alcohol kids, and you too can look like death warmed over one day!

Remember when New Order looked so much younger than the Rolling Stones? Ah those were the days...

i would say they all look quite well for their age. just compare them to u2, who actually are bit younger.

Think the best thing about the man and the band lookswise is that they don't look like a bunch of popstars. Rather normal, run of the mill, can-meet-you-on-the-corner-in-broad-daylight-and-not-blink kind of appearance. Well, there IS the sport gear, but who cares. :P

Could be worse, they could all get nipped and tucked and sucked and plucked and then they'd be Glossy. Like Valentino. Scary.
