The Fat Slags are indeed still in Viz. Billy the Fish less often

That could be right. Dennis Law was a football player for Manchester Utd and Scotland, he was from Aberdeen though. I am actually from Kirriemuir through (I only spent a couple of days in Dundee) Kirriemuir is also the home town of Bon Scott and J.M. Barrie (Peter Pan author)

I had forgotton about Viz. Haven't seen that for a while. Does it still have the fat slags and Billy the fish?

I think I have only been to Dundee once. I did a gig there a long time ago (mid 80-s I think) and had a drink in a bar owned by Dennis Law. Does that sound right?

dundee marmalade?
I was born in dundee!

I found some Robertsons Marmalade in a store today. What a sad man I am. Made my bloody day!

I liked Tizer, so I can't say anything!

ummm.....I actually quite like danelion and burdock........

I lived in Middlesbrough for a time. Irn Brew is big there as well as something horrible called Dandelion and Burdock! There are web sites you can order Walkers Cheese and Onion crisps from if you are a millionaire. there is also an English store at San Juan Capistrano which admittedly is about six hours away from here by car. I envy your visit. I am having residency problems, and I can't leave the country right now or I won't get back in. I was last home in April 2004.

I am lucky, the local supermarket here sells marmite and it isnt too expensive. I have to shell out for my Orange Squash and there is even a store here that sells irn-bru (which you may or may not know the cultural significance of that for a scotsman) but I cant find cheese and onion crisps anywhere, but I will be in scotland for christmas and new year so I will stock up then!

I missed Marmite so much, but there is a supermarket here that sells it as a delicacy. It costs an arm and a leg, but what are a couple of limbs compared to yeast extract!

I love marmite, it was the first decent picture I got when I google image searched shite

Yeah, Joshua Tree and Rattle & Hum both sucked; in all reality I was never really a big fan, funny thing is; my wife is a HUGE fan; which makes it interesting in my house! Oh and I find bono patronising all the time!

I went off U2 a long time ago myself although there will always be the odd track of theirs that gets to me. I found their patronising attitude to Americana in general, and the blues in particular got on my tits. At the time of the Rattle And Hum tour, it was as if they were saying that blues had suddenly become valid because they had bothered to notice it at last!

I used Bonzo Dog on my Finchley Boys mix, 'Death Cab for Cutie' I am doing a part 2 this week of my obscure mix, so they could feature again.

Negativland were famously sued by both U2 and Casey Kasem for a track that they did based on Still Havent Found What I am Looking for with Casey screaming and swearing over the top of it. I really went off U2 then; there was no need for the lawsuit, and U2 then turn around and rip them off for their entire ZooTV tour! Nice one boys

Thanks for the support mate!
