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

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.Quote:

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

I can't believe that I sat here and worked that one out. :)Quote:

Who drove their bike up Marc Almond's a*se? :confused: Politicaly incorrect I'm afraid, but the words Marc Almond and motorbike in the same sentence sent my imagination into overdrive. I heard a newsreader reading the bit about him 'riding pillion passenger' almost caused her to **** herself.
Think that story about his drink :eek: was an 'urban' myth, though. Showing my age but my cojones had barely dropped when I first heard that one. Pat, I think you were barely walking then.
As for Gere? Was he ever in hospital in Pheonix with either a. fractured skull or b. third degree burns of the r*ctum. :eek: All the result of a gerbil, a ten inch piece of kitchen waste pipe and a cigarette lighter. It's the money that does it.
