Someone must be near a computer to Google it?

I sent this:

Stu,

I got your quiz right, but the hairdressers was a guess.

Wilson gave us a FAC number (FAC383) last year. We bullied him into it by sending a big lad round with a bit of paper for him to sign.

Looks great on the badges.

We are the Vikings - followers of New Order.

Well, we were.

Say hi to Steve and goodbye to Tone from us all.

Cheers, Col

can't believe nobody got it right - it was bloomin obvious - he said the coracle was fac 200 the factory number for substance. i entered & told him off for using such an obvious fake number but he didn't read mine out, did mention the menstrual egg timer concept & he skipped over that

Print the legend, Hib!

Biggy's harder quiz then - who designed the timer?

Morrisey's mate Linder

the "conceptual" egg timer you mean?

more interestingly does anyone know if there is tape of barney & hooky doing that elvis song they talked about?

HOORAY!!!

Well done Dave

Dave knows more about New Order than the drummer does

i take it back - he did read mine out after all with the egg timer! fancy him not knowing about the singles ending in 3...

mind you i sent him another when he said nobody got it right pointing out that okay, fac 191 was the factory cat, but did he know that fac 189 was a single by miaow?

Used to always see Vini Reilly around when I lived in west Didsbury. He looked like he'd be blown over in a strong wind.

Ah, Palatine Road in the late 80s - the eye of the storm.

I just told my sister about the email and she asked "what's a fac number?"

So she knows even less than Steve!

The hairdressers belonged to Andrew Berry - of Morrissey's Hairdresser on Fire fame

I should have this available as mp3 in the morning some time.

Likely to be a wee bit big for me to webserve to yous.....not sure what the best way would be....maybe do it the "old fasioned way", tho it will be a double CD.

Whatever works, Doc! Go for it!

Right, tis captured, anyone got 50MB of webspace?

Or shall I start a weed?

Nice one Col!
