So there you have it. Wow. Who'd have thought that good old Von would be precisely 1.893617 times as famous as the Waynester? Just goes to show what being fat, bald and unable to write decent lyrics does for you...

Footnotes:

1. "extensive" is used here in the very specialised sense that includes ideas which you had over lunch that seemed vaguely funny.

2. Google.

3. This phrase is intended to be read "no expense has been incurred".

4. i.e. Half a lunch hour.

5. New romantic heroes were only included so that I could incorporate Gary Numan, because he's great.

YAY!! someone else who thinks Gary Numans a god!!

Oh yussss...

Just noticed the article in Sisters Chat on a similar subject (which I can assure you is a total coincidence as I did my searching before logging in to Heartland) - with absolutely no information as to how exactly they did their searches I can say without hesitation that their method was inferior to mine anyway. Gary Numan is indeed God, and That Guitarist will always be a lowly pus-filled worm when compared to the inestimable Mr. E.

My first concert was Gary Numan in Southampton in 1980. The business. Except for the mobile chair that he sat in and drove around the stage during one song. Bit naff that.

Who's Gary Numan?

Not you again, Ziggy!

You need to spend less time in the Gym and more time listening to BBC Radio 6!

Lies and slander!

My methods merely had to be kept secret as a matter of .. err... national security? No, ok, I just stuck some phrases into the magic google-box and saw what happened.

YOU HAVE EXPOSED ME FOR THE GIGANTIC SCIENTIFIC-FRAUDSTER THAT I AM! I hope you're happy now! *sob*

Success.

Let this be a warning to you all...
