What can I say, they are great for most emotions you can go through. They remind me of some fantastic times I had when I lived in the Midlands with a great group of friends/airline mates. Also after my second car accident they helped me to chill out and finally I went to an amazing concert at Colston Hall, Bristol and got their autographs. Great guys, great music, long may it last and when are they on tour in the UK next? Good to hear from like minded people.

I know this is a bit of a premature announcement, but I love being a part of all these groups despite their very varied content. (Two music groups: Victims! OV'ers! and one for pure babble: Matildab-folk!) But I'll have to dis-engage myself and unsubscribe for awhile from all of you. It's a sad thing..sort of. Here's why I have to leave. You see, I'll be spending the fall of 2001 in London. :) I was accepted into my college's study abroad program and get the opportunity to study and do an internship in the United Kingdom. I'm incredibly thrilled and anxiously awaiting getting to go. Mostly to see all those bands I never get to see 'cause even if they do tour the state they don't come anywhere near me. (Hey, maybe the Dels!) So I just wanted to share my happiness with you all, whom I consider extended family in a very vague and fun way. Maybe I'll even get to meet a few Victims or OV'ers while I'm over their way. I sure hope so. It's always good to see a friendly face. All good things always to you all, josh. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com ------------------------------ End of oppositeview-digest V3 #58 *********************************
