Its nearly that time of year again.
Pretty soon (in about 2/3 weeks) i will have to leave my current abode and go back to sunny Sheffield and (argh!!) get a job for the summer. Christ knows how i'll afford all these concerts if i don't...
Therefore i will have no internet access until September and if i fuck up my resits and stuff i won't be having the net for quite some time.
Just thought i should let you all know, so that we can get the crying out of the way before finsbury.
Aye Wonderboy.... [pauses to take a sip from his beer].....this forum will be a lot poorer without your frequent pearls of wisdom and skewed wit my friend!!.......but three months is a very long time indeed...and your only fear should be if people will remember you when you return :D
Just bang on again about the Doves, that should remind everyone.....but then who's ganna do the "Weekly review" thingy when you ain't here? Maybe you should cram in FOURTEEN WEEK'S WORTH all at once before you head off on your summer break? 
That should do the trick!
best for your summer job & also finding your way back here again! we'll miss you... 
and yeah, fourteen weeks of songs for us to mull over...hrrm, we should all have gotten exactly how we feel about them sorted out just about by when you get back!
Hey Janaki, we haven't seen the last of him just yet! He's got three weeks to go still! On the other hand, don't you think we've covered everything by now??? :D :D
At this rate all the obscure B-sides and crap remixes will be dragged screaming from their dusty cobwebbed vaults .....
we'll miss you ..come back soon! aw hell, it ain't that long and i'm over it already :p no really, you'll be missed :D

good points all around. please excuse my inability to count without using my fingers. ;)
but on that last bit...so are you saying that the band we all seem to hold in such high esteem have only written 17 songs? 
Er...aye.....that's the long and short of it....
The law of averages regarding quality and not quantity and all that bollocks, you know what I'm saying? :D
one question before you leave...why are you now Lieutenant Major Tarantino? got some kind of promotion we don't know about?
Originally posted by Hubert Mickle Er...aye.....that's the long and short of it....
i figured it was something like that.
though really, wouldn't you have picked a few different songs than the ones we've discussed if that were truly the case? ;)
Aye definitely - I could pick out the toppermost New Order songs ever written on the fingers of just one hand.....
....bet you don't know which they are either petal! :D

Don't forget i'm still around for another three weeks! and with any luck i'll be back later this year and i'm sure i will see many of you at finsbury and manchester!!
and yes, i have been promoted! :D
Promoted???
By London Records Marketing dept I should think.........that's a bad sign Wonderboy - you know what that means don't ya? It means you're going to disappear without trace and fade into obscurity..... :D :D
...but it also means he'll be miming on TotP first and then will also announce plans for a special retrospective CD-single box set to be released in time for Christmas!
hrrm...what would one find in the Lt. Major Tarantino box set, anyway? and what would it be called? 
Since you ask Janaki:
And it will be called "Relapse"
i have to say, when i first read off that list, i wasn't sure whether you were talking about Lt. Major T or your top five New Order songs!
My box set would contain:
and it would be called "The keeper of the Lt. Major Tarantino Key"
Originally posted by janaki
yes, those are excellent song titles...now what kind of idiot would play them?
Originally posted by Lieutenant Major Tarantino My box set would contain:1. Peter Hook peeling spuds2. A sky box3. 14 hard boiled eggs4. A porn mag5. Another porn mag6. Beer7. Chest hairand it would be called "The keeper of the Lt. Major Tarantino Key"
Oi! Wonderboy! You'll find that we've already decided what YOUR particular box set was ganna be like - Janaki and myself that is - see my last post above! Those sure ain't MY items!!
Look forward to meeting you fer a shandy at Finsbury Stevie Boy;) I'm sure you'll find a way of getting messages through to us:D
Janaki - my favourite five New Order songs are actually top secret. ;) NO-ONE gets to see those!! So....
Actually, if you take the trouble to unscramble all the letters in those words above, you will find the five New Order songs I'm talking about - they're just anagrammatically concealed in the list above! Heh heh...! ;)
Stevie Boy,
My phone bills are gonna be huge this summer, last night we managed to rabbit on about shite for about an hour!
Cant wait to see in two weeks, (or less now!) we are gonna have a right laugh, trust me!
You'll have to get yourself to a internet cafe to post messages to us all over the summer, all that time without our lovely Stevie boy is far too evil!
Love ya Bro
Liv
