I don't really mean it but I voted for not splitting after GT because the older I get the more convinced I become that they peaked musically/lyrically/(esp)visually/ ideologically/ in every way in that era and everything since, even THB, has been a falling away...

Talking abt getting a new singer has got to be the biggest folly they have come up with recently.
Still convinced a lot of what comes up in interviews is total bollocks!

Following up JFPL with PFAYM. Shorty followed by slagging off Terrorvision, but that was Nicky being a gobshite surprisingly.

I know the mention of this incident has generally died down but I'd just like to offer my 2p on Toilet-gate: can you imagine the amount of girls trying to follow them into cubicles if they used the public toilets? Or lads, for that matter. They'd have been asked for autographs while wiping their arses. There's nothing wrong with a band wanting a private loo.

Plus Sean seems the nervous type.

As you were.

In 1999? Not very many...


And I'd hardly call the toilets in the secluded VIP artist area of Glastonbury Festival 'public'.
