I am sure some of you can think of other questions. You know you are a Roxy anorak when: (1) One of your children is called Bryan or Roxy I have four imaginary children, called 'Bogus' (my favourite), 'Casanova' (druggie), 'Valerie' (I gave her up for adoption), and 'Sultan' (mute). (2) There is a picture of Bryan or Roxy in every room in the house including the bathroom. Since I relax at home by wearing a Bryan Ferry mask, he's always with me. (3) Your password for phone banking, e-mail etc is Roxy related. Ha! Very funny - as if I'd tell you that my PIN no. is CPL9538! (4) You have a Roxy keyring on your car keys. You'd have to ask my chauffeur. (5) Despite having every album BF/RM CD have made you still check the Roxy/Ferry CDs when you are in a record shop. LOL. Busted! (6) Following on from (5) you get annoyed when Flesh + Blood is filed before Siren so you then proceed to re-arrange them all in chronological order. No, I always rearrange in artistic value order, so F&B always stays in the right place, second from the back in front of MANIFESTO... (7) You own the Rik Kenton single just because he once played bass on Virginia Plain. I own the motorbike used in Virginia Plain, do you think I give a monkeys about Rik Kenton? (8) You have played Kiss And Tell (Dub mix) more than once. I'm beginning to think you may be taking the piss. (9) You have dodgy audience recordings of all 51 shows of the 2001 tour and can actually tell the diffirence from show to show. Listen carefully during the end of Virginia Plain  instead of shouting 'Virginia Plain', I'm there shouting '24!' or '36!' (10) It has been at least 23 days since you last didn't wear a Roxy/Ferry t-shirt. My tattoo of a 'For Your Pleasure' T-shirt never leaves me, never rots, never shrinks (quite the opposite in fact), and it never goes out of fashion. (11) You know all Bryan's kids birthdays and send a card every year. Signed, 'The Fox that Got Away'.... (12) You know exactly how many times you have seen BF/RM in concert without working it out. Black Flag three times/Ron Mael seven times with Sparks, and three times at parties. (13) The answer to 12 is more than 50 Sorry, you're wrong on that one. The answer is 13. (14) Following on from (13) you can name the date and venue in chronological order off the top of your head. Yes. But discretion requires that I stay schtumm. (15) You ran a video tape running constantly on ITV when the Street Life compilation was being TV advertised in the hope you would catch the 17 second advert. I own the 3-minute version featuring a 1973 live performance of 'Strictly Confidential'... (16) You have now transferred (15) onto DVD. Yours for only 5,000 (17) You have phoned in a sickie on the release day of a new Roxy/Ferry album. In the case of Bete Noire, the sickie was for real.

Although my youngest girl nearly ended up with Manzanera as her first name - I said it wasn't much different from a kid at playgroup called Mercedes. My eldest girl has Roxanne as her middle name which neatly shortens to........., whist my boy has a second middle name of simply Ferry. I made sure that this name went out to all and sundry on the birth card we sent out but I'm sorry to announce that my wife changed it to Francis by the time we got to the Christening.
