That was fucking horrible. Some people just do not know the limits of their abilities, and he looks like a fucking marshmallow.

That's awful. Cat being strangled comes to mind.

Their album is no 1 in the mid-week album charts - looks like Mac's got his number one album now, even if he is only singing on one track, for somebody else and didn't write it himself. Still - maybe now he'll stop writing "it's what the kid's want" Bunnymen albums now as it looks like he has achieved his objective of mainstream success. On the otherhand, it may encourage him to write more.

He's now had a taste of the good life now. That's hard to give up TGoGP.
With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts

Yup. TV appearances, name-checking by the Manics, name in national English newspapers. I think the odds that the next Bunnymen album will feature James Dean Bradfield and Nicky Wire in the co-writing credits have shot up in the past week. I'd place a bet if you could bet on such things.

On a side note, Mac's daughter was in The Sun last week out and about with "Professor Grin", whoever he is. You may not know BF as you are probably not subjected as much to naff pop stars with silly names, but is not that the chap that recently butchered with Lily Allen a cover version of the SOS Band's "Just Be Good to Me" or Beats International's "Dub Be Good to Me"?

"My nan raised me and Kylie and JASON DONOVAN was the only music I heard before I turned nine and managed to hear some proper music."

I feel a duet coming on.


not if he continues to refer to her second greatest moment as not being "proper music". tosser. what happened to the footballer bloke? sent off? ho ho. or maybe he mentioned he was waiting for some other woman to turn up. this bloke has 'short term career' written all over his cheeky little face. sorry. old bloke talking there.

Looks a bit young to be a professor if you ask me. Has anyone actually checked out the paperwork? You have to be careful these days, bogus surgeons, dentists and professors, it's all the rage.

Perhaps that's why he keeps appearing in tabloid newspapers with his latest "date". Previously it was alleged to be Pixie Lott. Didn't seem to last very long. Perhaps these young ladies are initially dazzled by his cheeky looks and Professor credentials until he opens his gob and starts talking all cockney like while revealing that he is actually called Steve, isn't a professor, left school at 15 with no qualifications "cos it was boring and me wanna do me rapping shit" and has little hope of longevity in the music business. Once these girls find out the truth, despite their dizzy blonde looks, they announce that they have got a headache or are washing their hair the next evening and quickly look through their diaries for the next Premiership footballer or fashion model to hook up with. On the otherhand, perhaps Prof Green is one of these A* GCSE people, which in the rapping world is literally like having a doctorate.

Mac's daughter is in Prof Green's next video. So I guess he has some benefits if you are looking, on a temporary basis, to help your career along. Erm... 1.12 I think waving her arms around holding a bottle of milk and certainly 1.30 as a pole dancer. Yo, big it up for the East London massive.

having your bird in your video, or on you album cover never did bryan ferry any harm. Apart from the broken heart he received when jerry went off with jagger and the constant reminder it provides. But there again ferry & his band brought out a couple of albums that would still be considered a bit weird if they were brought out today. Prof Green, I'm not so sure about. Still its a step into showbiz for the macsters offspring. Probably a welcome break in the routine of working in her mums shop. Wasn't she i a film a whie ago? Mimi must be of an age now to be going out with footballers, or perhaps she's got her eye on an actual career.

Well...ole Candy is a looker but.....it would be like shagging Mac in a dress so I couldnt.Reminds me of my mate's sister who we've always argued about whether you would or not -at the crucial moment you'd be reminded of a bald brummie alcoholic!lol.

Today's Jeremy Kyle subject-mate's sisters who look like them.Yes or No?

At this stage I think she doesn't really look like Mac, more of her mum - unless you include Mac in that blonde wig in the Seven Seas video and squint slightly while watching it. Fast forward 30 years and give her a double chin, a bit of stubble, a pair of sunglasses and a hoodie, maybe.

Nah, not neccessary. A little bit of spray on hair would do the trick for those not in the know even if it develops a slight reddish tinge under the studio lights.
