    i'd say a lot of people on here are too young to know who he is.

    Probably a good thing, considering some of the stuff he drank, and some surgical removals...

    Is all that stuff actually true though?
    For those coming in late, Almond is famously reputed to have had a rib removed so he could chow down on his own member, and being taken to hospital where he had a pint of j*z pumped from his stomach.
    I always thought it was just nasty rumours.
    Quite liked Soft Cell at the time, but although he's got a distinctive voice, I always thought he sounded a bit flat at times. But with great conviction.

    Ah, he always maintains that pint drinking is an urban myth.

    Always remember my sisters overlaying Non Stop Electric Caberat so developed a deep dislike for them which I have over come through the years. Hope he pulls through.

    BTW anyone ever hear Inspiral Carpets version of Tainted Love even better than the Soft Cell version and makes you wonder why Marilyn Manson bothered, then again I wonder that on a regular basis.
    Where am I now? I'm over here,
    I've got those empty pockets and I can't afford a beer.

    Of course, Carter USM's version of "This is how it feels" does it for me every time.

    Every generation has some "star" who has this myth attached. Prince was another one who it was said about.

    ...They were saying it about Prince as well were they? There we are then, urban myth, done and dusted. Hope Almond gets better soon.

    ...come on now lads, it's getting silly. How many gerbils would you need to get a pint? You'd need millions of them

    Eh just about the rib thing...surely that would be irrelevant so long as your vertebrae were still there. That's what Bill Hicks said anyhoo.
