So who saw this last night which included a bonus round about Macclesfield?

Question: Name the male 4 piece band whose influential debut album was Unknown Pleasures and became New Order after the death of their lead singer Ian Curtis?

Never thought I'd see the day

Which was surprising considering the link between New Order / Factory / Hacienda and the taxmen (who were the knobheads who didn't know the answer)

There's alot of NOOLers in the UK who seem to watch 'University Challenge'...

Does that mean that New Order have a more cerebral following than most bands? :laugh:

Not sure. However, something tells me Hooky worked for the Customes & Excise in Salford. Right?

Customes & Excise? That would go a long way to explain some of his stagewear :D perhaps he stole some clobber for barney to wear too in the joy division days

according to the poster he did work for the inland revenue, apparently it was in one of the book's written about him.
