Also, when Roxy started off the Manifesto tour in Stockholm, Abba let them use their studio. They were also photographed hanging out together in a then famous night club (Atlantic?).

Final reminder time for AMA Tickets ! - as we have to start writing those dreaded Cheques next week, to pay for all costs associated with the evening... Thanks to all (many many !) who've sent payments in the last few days, and now we have just a few unpaid reservations remaining, being the following Ticket numbers : 043, 070, 071, 072, 073, 080, 081, 089, 090, 091. If your ticket happens to be one of those numbers, please ensure payments reach us by next Tuesday, 16th January, please. Do remember it's 'entry by TICKET ONLY' on the night - and the Venue security will enforce this rule - so don't leave it too late to book - if you haven't already... If you are in the Netherlands - (at the moment around 20 of you are planning to make this mad, mad trip...) please ensure payments reach Ron Snelderweert in Rotterdam by January 16th also. Ta much. We have a few 'provisionals' too - you know who you are, just keep me informed of your latest news re attempting time off work to attend etc...

A full 'timetable of events' will be posted up on the Net next week, details will appear here on the list, of course. We plan to send the Tickets out, at the end of next week.

Bookings : johnny.reece@virgin.net Bookings from the Netherlands : ronsnelderweert@hotmail.com That's about it. Whew ! I'm glad I got through that without having to mention Abba. Doh !

We have to be able to understand slightly more diverse pronunciations and dialects in German at school, rather than just Hochdeutsch. But, only scary stereotypes say such things as "Frrranz, nun gib mirrr......" or at least, I hope they do, because it requires a bit too much physical effort, all that trilling and so on! By the way, Thom Yorke's pronunciation was rather rubbish. Although I'm no expert, I could point out that he said, "und das Spael geht wetter..." rather than " und das Spiel geht weiter..." What's the weather got to do with it?! :) (sorry, that's a bad joke!) ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 12 Jan 2001 17:08:21 -0600 From: "Prince of Happiness" Subject: [AVALON] Question about that near disaster...

In the movie "Turner and Hooch" , Tom Hanks Leaves his dog "hooch" home while he goes to work. When he comes back he discovers his house is a terrible mess. In the pile of Rubble is an album. When he digs it out you can clearly see it is Bryan's "Boys and Girls" album. I wonder if he got paid for that. Oh yeah did someone from "Radiohead" really work on Bryan's forthcoming record?
