Hi everyone,

i need the help of people of this board. I must 2 a feature for a french magazine, and instead of writing once again the great story of New Order, i decided to do a 10 short fun & weird stories feature. For example, i read everywhere that Steven Morris owns a tank, parked in his garden. But i'm not sure if it's true. Or taht Hooky met Nico from Velvet Underground few hours before she dies in Ibiza, etc.

I need your help to find true amazing stories.

Any volonteer ?

Barney's real name is Bernard Sting. In order to avoid confusion with the Police singer, he adopted Sting's real name, Sumner. Milking the gag, he tried to get Hooky to call himself Peter Copeland and early pressings of Warsaw singles bear this name following a drunken late-night call to the printers.

It's True.

Not only that, but Stephen Morris aimed the tank barrel at Barney's house.

It's actually a military fish tank, containing retired Naval fighting fish.

EdelBrock should have the exact specification etc., but your readers will have to sign an OSA agreement as some of the information is classified.

All this talk of guns is so wrong.

The very best NO story is the one about Madonna sleeping in the Hacienda DJ's porch.

I can't remember who told it to me, or the details, but it's a winner.

At the beginning of This Time Of Night on Low Life if you listen closely you can hear Rudolf Hess saying 'I'm one of the few people who lived in what's called the Third Reich'.

Sorry shitface, not entertaining enough for you?

The Madonna story is supposed to be true. Hooky tells it really well on a film that was shown in the Urbis Hacienda exhibition. If you send a really crawly email to Urbis, they may let you see the film. Alternatively, send one to Hooky and ask him to post it on his blog.

If that sounds like too much hard work, then you're not really suited to writing.

for obvious reasons I can't disclose specifics, but one fish supposidely was in a US tv show that helped a boy out of trouble allthe time... but now he wears a laser beam simlar to the Star Wars project of the 80s on his head...

...and yer right, talk of guns, which obviously leads to spunk, does not belong here... off to BCD with ya!

I don't think that that comment was aimed at you from ponyboy, bc2323. There's also the story about Bernard, when a member of Joy Division, peeing on Spandau Ballet from a balcony above where they were playing a gig because he was so disgusted by their "new romantic" attire.
