And absolutely no mention of Iain or Andy! Where > are Karen and Libby? Well, I for one am entirely speechless that the band has decided to interact with the fans this way and all this talk of Justin's hair might just change their minds! I actually thought Justin looked like one of those old troll dolls that you gave a good shake and the hair stood all on end. No? :) Iain has been discussed of course, since there's much more to say about him. All offlist of course where there's no chance of him reading it, that's all. And Andy never changes, anyone notice that? He's always adorable, lucky man. Anyway, good for the band, catching up with the techno era and joining in. It's just the kind of nod to the faithful that should make us all feel appreciated. Thanks Kevin for pushing them to do it too.

Not because the music doesn't matter...it's the most important thing to me...but there hasn't been music lately. And if Justin shaved his head, I'd cry. He has the best hair.

Damn freakin' right! Know where I can get one? Does Susan have vanilla flavoured paint? > I'm in favor of sidies too...I hope they re-surface. Y'know, I kinda liked sideies on Justin, but they remind me WAY too much of a guy I used to work with. He was vulgar and posessed by Beelzebub and he was damn ugly. This guy would scare most prison inmates! So, reluctantly I have to say that sidies are just too . . . icky for me. Mind you, if Justin was vulgar in just the right way . . . excuse me.

He's envious of the 'real' couples walking down 'the bright side of the street' - he longs for the timorous, uplifting, giddy kind of love to sweep him out of his funk - which proves undoubtedly that this cynic still believes in the joy and existence of 'true love' (or a reasonable facsimile...)

Let's hear a big "Ahhhhhhhhhhhh" for Darren and Jen and bring on the violins! Luckily not such a big fuss is made of Valentine's Day over here (unless you're under 20), so it isn't rubbed in your faces so much (besides which British males can be an unromantic bunch on the whole - especially once they've landed you). But you never know what might be around the next corner - I found mine when I'd sworn off relationships forever. Keep hoping...
