They both certainly have very, very idiosyncratic styles of dancing, both as unique as their personalities.
New Order and your side projects, please release something original soon. Look how desperate the fans get to talk about something in the meantime. Including me. Ian: scary. Bernard: funny. Dig out TOTP Fine Time! PS Who on Earth logs on to say 'I can't decide'? 'Hello my name's Michael, I DON'T KNOW.'

Have not seen this TOTP performance before. Do you have it?
Barney is far better than Ian when the subject is boredom, lazyness and repeat the same setlist for ages

Barney is also far better than Ian when it comes to dealing with personal hardship, supporting your family, moving forward, and not giving up.

While agreeing with this sentiment I think Bernards dancing at times interferes with his reading of the autocue.

But you reckon other than that its a goer?
Ian's dancing - weird, but intense and cool.
Bernard's dancing - well.... it's like your pissed old uncle getting a bit excited at a wedding reception isn't it? Don't think that you've still got the moves Barney.... you never had 'em!

Thanx for that. The Other 2 interest me but mainly for nostalgia reasons - Tasty Fish was the period I used to hunt out all the rarities and scour the music press for info. You Internet generation have it so easy... Release-wise I never got into 'em: 20 years for 2 albums of anonymous instrumentals and Stock-Aitken-'n'-Waterman synthpop. But perusing these threads I get the impression I'm in a minority. (But I'm used to that due to my love of Melanie C.)
Melanie C? WTF...
Anyway, this thread is horrible!!!! You can't do such things. I mean is it how low NOOL has gone to? Barney was fooling around being heavily intoxicated, while Ian C was fighting demons... Just different things.
Neither.... both were bloody atrocious. 
And I haven't forgotten the likes of Morrissey and Tim Booth yet either.....
......just what is it about people from Manchester being crap dancers?
I mean......
Freddie Garrity was another one.
And Bez.
And Ian Brown.
See what I'm getting at ??
:p
