In divorce papers before the court, Ferry said that "the respondent (his wife) has admitted the adultery", but did not name another man. The couple, who married in June 1982 and have four sons, did not attend the brief hearing. The singer/songwriter was 36 when he married 22-year-old society heiress Lucy Helmore at the Church of St Anthony and St George at Duncton, West Sussex. Ferry said he had first suspected her being unfaithful in May 2000 and the adultery was continuing when they separated. ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 21 Mar 2003 15:49:06 GMT From: cjem@his.com Subject: Re: [AVALON] Fw: kmart & saville row > From: Karin Whitney > What is the big deal about Kmart?

Because there is an incongruity, a perversity even, between the practice of having a wardrobe bespoke suits--not to mention wearing Hedi Slimane as your tour wardrobe--and then buying your unmentionables at Kmart.

Paula Ferry's fear of jet maniac's socks 14.55PM GMT, 21 Mar 2003 Super-stylish pop veteran Bryan Ferry has revealed his horror at a maniac's attempts to crash the plane he was on - but because the man's socks were so ugly. The plane plummeted thousands of feet over Africa in the heart-stopping moment, but all Ferry could think about was fashion. The star, who is set to tour with his reformed band Roxy Music this summer, was caught up in the mid-air drama when the man burst into the cockpit of a jumbo jet. Ferry, who was a passenger on the Nairobi-bound plane,told Arena magazine, "It was like a movie - your senses slow to take it all in." Asked what his thoughts were about the incident, the singer said, "That crazy man's socks weren't very attractive. They were kind of striped and I didn't really care for them much at all." Ferry said the Boeing 747's violent movements woke him from a doze but he did not realise what was happening until the man was being bundled out of the cockpit. "I was thinking, `Should I get up and get in there?' I was about one row away from having to get involved - which I would have been quite happy to do. "All of a sudden they had him pinned to the floor."

Manifesto - Dance Away Flesh & Blood - Same Old Scene Avalon - The Main Thing The last 3 albums are not favorites of mine, in fact the last time I listened to Manifesto was around 86'. Trash used to be a favorite of mine on that record years ago, only because I was about 17 when it came out. Thinking that was cool? Tastes definitely change!
