Have you ever seen a more unimpressed bunch of people? Theres probably a lesson there Will. But I'm afraid I can't seem to figure out quite what it is...
/me wonders what the hell was on those 4 films I just put in to be developed.
*cackleage*

Notice the whole height order thing.
so unfair...

I know... Its depressing isn't it...
*sigh*
I wish I knew the joy of being able to stand up straight in a double-decker bus, but it was not to be...
*sob*

Someone on the edges of my consciousness - I think it was Kimberley, she's usually thereabouts - just said that this photo makes us look like some sort of boyband. True? If so, don't let's all rush to be the "musically talented"* one.

(*most ugly)

well if one does necessarily imply the other then there is no doubt who the "musically talented" one is.
;o)

Dan: at least bus conductors can actually see you on the bus...

Never mind all that, the real question is which one of us is going to be the "probably gay" one?

Oh, several things, really:

Tony: "at least bus conductors can actually see you on the bus..." - they only can't see you because you're asleep underneath the seat at the back, clutching your meths in a brown paper bag.

E.Dan: "the real question is which one of us is going to be the "probably gay" one?" - Well, I really think we're keeping it quite a closely guarded secret in the photo above, aren't we? Aren't we? Pfft.

The new boyband sensation "New Kids who like c**k" (Or "Sound like c**k", whichever is funnier). Featuring:

Evil Dan - the tall, handsome one ;-)
James - the clever one
Matt - the obviously gay one (notice the wrist)
Tony - the Robbie Williamsesque "rebel" (notice the finger)

Erm...
(clears throat)
#Cock-a-doodle-doo!
Goooooooood Morrrning... err, Warwick!

I guess that explains why i've got to lose some weight then....
:oS

Shame you weren't around at the time of this photoshoot then, Mr Voss. You could have fulfillled* your role as "The One Who Stands In The Background And Later Goes On To Be Keith Duffy".

*(With three "l"s, natch)

I'm the talented but money-obsessed songwriter. I live in Sweden, and also write songs for Britney.

Some people have no soul...
(ahem)
Not that we do it for the groupies, oh no! It's all about the music, man!
Word.

Word! Word up! W-w-w-w-word up! (And that's enough of that - Ed).

Who would be our roadies? I don't think we know anyone who could lift a microphone convincingly masculinely enough, let alone an amp.

matt ;)x

I'm sure Marc could supply the tour bus, if that helps... ;)

More importantly, who gets to be the money-grubbing manipulative fat manager bastard from Florida? You've gotta have one of those...

As hard as I try, I really can't think of anyone we know who fits that description in a comedy kind of way. Did you have someone in mind?

I don't see how anyone could fit the description "money grubbing manipulative fat bastard" in a comedy way, to be honest. How about we make it Big Matt, for no real reason other than he's likely to respond?

Okay, so we've got Marc as our roadie, and Big (sic) Matt as our money-grubbing manipulative fat manager bastard from Florida. This band's gonna go far, oh yes. Specially with Kimberley as our Pan's People-style dancer.

matt ;)x

Thank you Seldo.

I object to "fat bastard from Florida" but I've got nothing against "money-grubbing" and "manipulative".

Everyone seems to have a role now except Willm, what's he going to do? We don't have any bouncers yet but I don't think he fits the bill.

Easy! He's James' obsessed gay stalker! (duh! He's that in real life!)

Honestly, do I have to think of everything? :-)

Right then so we're all set.

It's just a shame no one actually has any musical talent.

You'll find that's really not a drawback in the industry. *coughwillyoungcough*

Hmm...

At least he's slightly better than Gareth Gates and I don't think that this sorry lot have been on national TV. (Thank Heaven)

And anyway, Corder, I think you'll find that I possess a merit at Grade 8 pianoforte, which is rather more than you can say, I imagine. And James is good at Tae Kwon Do, so he'll "whup" your "arse" if you disagree. 'Nuff said.

(Ooh, get *her* - Ed) ;)

matt ;)x

Ooooooooh

So Mr Elton you're claiming to be the 'musically talented' (ugly) one.

Anyway I'm meant to be the money-grubbing manager who's pinching all your money - so be nice to me or you won't get any money from the world tour or series of albums. I'll take it all myself muhahahaha.

1. It is possible to be both talented and beautiful. I am living proof of this.*

2. And what would you do with all that money anyway? Buy some shares?**

matt ;)x

*(Where's my normal self-depriciation mode gone? I hope everything's okay with me...)
**(Oh no, it's alright. I've still got the "bitchy" bits working. Phew.)

Having not been subjected to your musical talents I can't comment on them. As for your beauty I wouldn't like to comment.*

In the current economic climate I definitely wouldn't be investing my ill-gotten gains in shares. Property is doing very well at the moment. (I am an Economist remember)


*Lest phrases involving words such as pot, kettle, or glass houses arise.

Whenever I boil the kettle I get this weird hallucination that everybody lives in glass houses. I think it's because I smoke so much pot.

Whenever I drink from my kettle I think I'm being attacked from all sides by tiny fish with teeth like crows. I hide under the table but they're still there, there with their staring little eyes, eating away at my soul. I think it's because I smoke so much pot.

matt ;)x

I'm surrounded my madmen.

That sentence doesn't involve "pot", "kettle" *or* "glass houses". You're not very good at this game, are you?

Although, now that I think about it, you *might* have been being *very* clever, because you saying you're surrounded by madmen is possibly the best example of a pot calling the kettle black, etc., that I've ever heard.

But, to be frank, I'm not sure that was your intention.

Don't be silly, that requires some intelligence, and some pot in a kettle in a glasshouse. or something.

;o)

Tony's insite into the situation is, as always, breathtaking.

But TRUE! God, he's a genius. Or is that just further proof of my sweltering madness? Fnurk. NURSE! PASS! THE! BRAIN! SPANNER!
