With this stomach bug going round, it's a good idea to have the Meet n Greet in the bathroom, but let's not make a habit of it, OK ? - Laurence

hey guy's, shall we go back on stage now? Danny drum-solo is going on long enough, don't you think so? - lilian.

I am Bilge from Turkey. I will go to Prag to see you guys. Here's my suggestion:... and the sultans, yeah the sultans went to peeoo.

" Mark: If you play one more chord on that whingeing disaster, I'll sell your
tea kettle on eBay !!" - Kay
