the cure are back..huraah!

[QUOTE=Macy]He was banned from Alty, as he was bad luck (must have kept going, minus head considering where they're languishing around now). Only a glory hunter anyway, ditching Timperley Big Shorts every time Alty had a cup run. Used to go a few Altrincham games (and also a few Bury games), some great games in the early rounds of the Cup - Clive Freeman against Chester* (when they were still a league team) won Goal of the Month. Sad to see their demise when the likes of Macc went on to the league (Alty were always the better club!).

Macy - in real life he's a City fan. :rolleyes:

Top bloke though, stayed in ours whenever he was playing in Dublin. Total and utter alcoholic, had to Western Union his gig fees back to his missus after every show so he wouldn't drink it.

Lived in the Isle of Man....for tax reasons. :D

Yeah, knew he was a liar - think he did some on the pitch stuff for them pre Moonchester :rolleyes: , and I think he put out some version of blue moon....

Most siddy fans have "problems" so not surprised he's a dipso.

In fairness Marr & Morrissey made them

Is Electronica still on the go? I remember Marr having a stint in The The, but haven't heard much from him since then

Seem to remember a rather excellent quote from mozzer circa 94. When asked if The Smiths would get back together he said no. when asked asked if he'd ever work with Marr again he said "Well if he gets tired of his Metallica nonsense my door is always open"

xsqueez me but holy sh1t i got me a dv-video of the oxegen tingy and they were fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuckin unreal!

Puppet was called little Frank and he had a girlfriend called Denise. As part of the act big Frank disliked little Frank, which even for an stage show could be seen as a little worrying.

His compilation ABC&D is difficult to find but well worth getting hold of, for the aforementioned ‘I should be so lucky’, the football songs and particularly his cover of Anarchy in the UK called Anarchy in Timperly. :D

to the air of "there aint no cure for the summertime blues"

"i sent little frank out to get me a visa"
"but little frankie brought me back a pepperoni pizza"......
............priceless stuff........ :D

Took your advice and threw out all my Cure albums and bought some Saxon CD’s a few Whitesnake and a couple of Kiss records.
And do you know what your right, my testosterone levels jumped by500%, I got voted the worlds greatest and most prolific lover, got selected for the Irish weight lifting team for the Olympics, got a job as a lumberjack and then went out and drank 50 pints of Stella and didn’t get drunk.

:rolleyes:

The only problem is now everyone thinks I’ve got sh*te taste in music

See my signature for my fav Frank Sidebottom line.

cure were pretty dissappointing at oxegen . if you were a fan there then fair enough yuou probably would have enjoyed but nothing there to convert a non believer. pj harvey was great though !

i saw coverage(mates camcorder!) and as a fan i enjoyed it,i suppose it was for fans.if marilyn manson played i think he wouldnt convert non believers either! :D
