I see someone has registered on the new BOF as DrCheese - I'd just like to state that it is NOT my good self.

I've asked for a Will interview before and was ignored. I'm not sure if he ever really got the e-mail himself as I went through his Glide site and I think Peter does that as well.

Ian doesn't even own a computer so that is not going to happen ever.

I asked Bill Drummond through his site and at least he politely declined:

Dear Brian,

Thanks for your email and invitation. I have enjoyed looking at the site and have just read the Noel Burke interview where I think he comes over very well and am pleased he has such a positive take on it all.
As for me, I think I said everything that I have wanted to say in my story From The Shores Of Lake Placed published in 45. I do not have a problem with you publishing all of that on your site. That said I do not have it on my hard drive, you would have to take it direct from the book.

Yours,
Bill Drummond

Noel Burke was very gracious and that was a lot of fun.

Before Jake died I thought about trying to contact him but at the time I just figured anyone currently associated with the band was not going to play with me.

This might give everyone a better idea of why VilliersTerrace.com is shunned by the BOF...

The official stance of why no mention of VT is allowed at the BOF is, and I quote from an e-mail from Peter Allen in February 2008:

Hi Brian hope you are well mate, just wanted to alert you to why I have had to remove the link to Villiers from the forum, the management have asked me to remove it as they don't see it fit to link to a website that mentions, how should I put this "alleged personal habits of a bands lead singer that he might undertake in private", I have checked the forum and there are a few reference to a particular titled soft drink (I think you know what I mean mate)

I see that there is a whole section of links to Bunnymen sites in the Mega BOF 2010 except the one with a forum. And this is because Ian's personal habits were discussed 2 years ago? I really doubt it.

This was my response, in case anyone was wondering:

There are probably more reasons than that to remove the link back to my site, but that one is certainly convenient. I happen to have it under good authority that the alleged habit is anything but alleged and I feel the topic is fair game because it does affect the band and therefore is not purely a private matter.

That's creepy. I wonder if we will all be registered, like some kind of alternate reality.

I don't see a problem with that. I mean the man would be in good company with another [more] legendary Scouser who was partial to a bottle of the black American stuff.

I think the Mega BOF 2010 should ban Siberia because of all the references to to cocaine.

Actually they've committed a fatal error by registering as DrCheese instead of Dr Cheese!
I've just registered as Dr Cheese to safeguard my professional integrity.

That is so sad!
I just had a look at some of the posts this morning and it's so obvious what's going on there.
They've reached a new level of cringeworthiness.

I think they'll take sycophancy to a whole new level. It's a shame there isn't a prize for the most excessive ass kissing.

Wait 'till someone registers as Scoucer and starts posting about how great The Fountrain is!

If there were, I'm sure I could win it.
