You know that you will have to pay a dowry to his family every month to keep that t-shirt clean.





three years later and I'm still waiting for a badge
Well you're in luck as we have 3 types of badge now and I will send you one of each with a copy of our new album which should be ready in time for Christmas. Hope you've been good for Santa.
Wahoooo are you putting out a Christmas single?
Just add bells to one of the tracks and put on a bad jumper and Santa hat in the video 😊
:mrgreen:

Well we've done songs for England in the World Cup and Euros and cursed them both times. Best not get Christmas cancelled, eh?
:lol:

That England track is up there with the all time greats. That really did deserve to reach a wider audience.

Just thought of one: The Equals
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Hello,

After considering the title of this thread, I think the Ramones qualify. They've sold more t-shirts to high school girls than records. When I watch crowds overseas, they seem massive. I saw them 6 times in the US and crowds were around a couple of hundred, maybe 1,000 tops. Anyone else?
