:D Ah,that's OK.Thanks for the correction,mate.I've just heard from some other people they're actually from Leeds which is why I included them on my list.And seeing you're from Birkenhead as well so I should have to trust you at the end!Cheers! :)

Nope.All About Eve actually are from London,they were formed there in 1985,although Julianne Regan is originally from Coventry,Tim Bricheno and Andy Cousin are from Huddersfield.As for Mark Price I really don't know where he originally is from at all.They all headed down to London to form the band.

of course, you know hussey was bi-sexual too? allegedly. during the 80s and early 90s at least...

or does "bi" not register on bigot-o-scope?

whilst (almost) everyone's comments are (more or less) welcome on heartland, i will have NO form of bigotry posted here - be it racism, homophobia, misogyny or whatever other insidious form your personal small-mindedness happens to take.

if you hate soft cell then you hate soft cell. but dont post that s**t here...

you're welcome.

Right On QB!
this must be a haven of harmony, let's face it, between us we know so much nonsense that's it's daft to drift into tabloid crap. Who needs it?

Fight The Power!

kind regards to all with an open mind

ta. and now back to normality.

ryly: does anyone really think the lorries are all that fantastic? i mean they were ok - they made a nice noise and all that, but i never really got their sound... a bit of a dirge in places with only one or two real dancefloor fillers/show stoppers.

also, i notice no one mentions rose of avalanche. probably for the best, eh? ;) :urff:
