I had a dream last night that I went to see a gig in a massive arena. Deep Purple were on the bill and played nothing but Xmas songs with a fat opera singer on a revolving stage. The audience were absolutely silent and Deep Purple just looked really embarrassed. Thanks for listening.

I've never met anyone else (not that I've met you either) that liked Altered Images. I loved them around 81/82 and used to wrap scarves around my head a la Clare - she was doing it way before Madonna. The only one people seem to remember is Happy Birthday. You have to refer to her as, that lass that Gregory got off with at the end of Gregory's girl.
