I think you're allowed to like more than one band!

I first saw New Order in 1984.

I saw British Sea Power three times this year and I like them. By the way if the vikings would play football against 3rd battalion, I think, the vikings would win.

That's an interesting one, I can imagine a few 'tasty' tackles going in! Perhaps we should've organised a lunch-time match for Saturday. Another time, maybe.

Count the Corby Order in for this. As for the tasty tackles, I relish the opportunity of taking the piss, even at 36 I throw down the challenge that none of your lot would get close enough. There's only one Zico Voller :thumb:

When you put it like that :laugh: You coming out to play on Saturday?

I am indeed and looking forward to it. After my brief history lesson I conclude I would see myself most definitely a viking out of the two groups. I am most certainly Scottish but come in just under 6"2 so maybe not got the height and appreciate the importance of good wardrobe.Ill let the Third Battalion mark my fist fighting skills after the gig

I am however going to give the British Power Sea a listen just out of fairness :blackeye: :laugh:

Well it is when you've inked yourself with the name.

How many 3B tattoos are in existence? Reckon some of them might have the image of an owl or a piece of bracken tastefully placed on their inside bottom lip.

Gary Neville likes BSP and could be conscripted into the Third for the day. That would make for an interesting series of tasty encounters.

This isn't a one off either.

The 3Bs presented one of their top lads 'Northern Pete' (deemed a suitable differentiator as all the other 3B Pete's are middle class southern dandys no doubt) with a cake adorned with 50 candles to commerate his 50th gig. Next time I asked after him it was "oh he's left".

3B is a phase that some need to go through. Like comics.

see!

Pfft. Rodgers isn't even in the Third anymore ;-) And we did have badges before he started making them (altho his are nicer).

yeah but kevo, we had them before you were even formed. (the 3B i mean, not you personally, you're ancient!)
