Hello, quick intro..

Hello fiddlesticks 

Space, the  most important thing about New York is it is named after a far more historically important city and much nicer place - York.

Space, the  most important thing about New York is it is named after a far more historically important city and much nicer place - York.

You'd be amazed at how many cities, towns, and villages here are named after places over there across the pond. For instance...

- our ugly step-brother - New Jersey - is named after that place Ghosttrain springs from.

- this new member from Birkenhead...well, if you read that Wiki page (I did because I have a 148 IQ and always seek knowledge) one would learn that New York City's famous Central Park is designed after Birkenhead Park!

We over here obviously share a great deal with our defeated colonists over there.

And why address me as Space? I am Whirlwind!

Do you get your kicks by living in some remote little village no one on Earth ever heard of?

I live so far from the nearest village (which nobody has heard of) that I have to walk all afternoon to get any kicks at all.

Is that the defeated colonist's that whooped America's ass in the American declared war of 1812, wiped out America's newly founded Naval power, kept onto Canada, burned down the White House and kept America to itself hiding behind its Atlantic cost defenses and having no major influence on World affairs till its famously late arrival into WW1 in 1917 ??

[fiddlesticks]

Thanks for the warm (and educational) welcome everyone

Is that the defeated colonist's that whooped America's ass in the American declared war of 1812,....

No, it's the colonists that tried to tax us even though you offered no representation in your government.
Yet for that mistreatment of us we still gladly saved your lives in WWII. We are a great people.

(By the way, you still owe us money for that Lend/Lease program that kept you afloat in the early years of that war. When are you cheapskates going to pay back your debt to us? Sending us Frankie Goes To Hollywood is not exactly repayment.)

I think any debt has been paid many times over as sending you FGTH may not be repayment but sending you NMA certainly is

Excellent point.

However, I'm sure you are aware that my government did not accept New Model Army as repayment for your debt to us. As you might recall, our government did not let NMA in our country due to the fact that our leaders deemed the band had "no artistic merit." Frankie Goes To Hollywood had artistic value, but NMA did not. Go figure.

I suppose our glorious government officials heard "Relax" and "Sex The Black Angel" and came to that conclusion that Frankie had more artistic value than NMA. Must say I agree with them on that one. Boy, that "Sex" song is bad. Goes absolutely nowhere for three and a half minutes.

[Shush]

I love the song "Sex The Black Angel". Mr Heaton was an absolutely superb drummer. On that song his drum work is phenomenal. I cannot listen without some "air drumming". My favourate song for Rob Heaton drum work.
