Ghostie, can you please arrange for a new range for your Villiersterrace.com merchandise emporium? I was thinking of something along the line of skinny fit cut off t-shirts and one size too small crotchless knickers bearing the legend 'VT girls are easy', possibly personalised with their phone numbers on the back. Thank you.

Sadly, no can do. The Villiersterrace.com merchandise emporium was shut down a while ago. We got raided by the rossers for the "use" of slave labour and trucked the girls out. I have no workforce and do you think I'll have to work myself, yeah right.

Have you met Mac and/or Will before? Seriously, they are friendly blokes from my experience.

well they're not all mine ghostie - aquiring additional children is a bit of a hazard when you're back on the scene in your mid to late thirties, sorry forties. Still deciding over here, though I know what will win. 50 quid a pop with the because we can charge. hmmmmm. Wont be doing the fanboy thing though. I can feel a comedy sketch coming on where the only peopole in the room are mac & will, VB & Mrsmac having been delayed in a travelodge just off the M6. On the other hand VB you could easily make your money back selling copies of that DVD on here.

maybe bit how crushing would it be if he thought you were a tosser. lol. Though maybe i'm more of a fanboy by not wanting the illusion being shattered by him being merely a top bloke and not a rock god.

Considering I'm a regular poster / bullshitter on here I'd think the above statement goes without saying.

Quality question of the Bunnymen Facebook page:

'How do you know if you're booking a VIP ticket?'

You'll be living on beans on toast for the next month, like me. (Mr B, can you please provide us with an emoticon for thunderous flatulence?) :eek:

Oh la-di-da. Look at you now that you are a VIP. Bet you'll get your photo taken and frame it, adding it to your other pictures on the wall. Eh Voodoo Billy, or should I just call you Tony?

I have still got to acquire one child, let alone five. Perhaps they sell them on amazon or in Tescos. They sell everything on there these days. Designer children. What do you do with them when they turn into teenagers - send them up the chimney? Doesn't say anything on the packaging.

the eternal question. General guidelines are keep out of their way and throw money at them from time to time. And they are generally too big for chimneys by that age, you have to get them much younger for that. Oh and avoid phrases such as "hey have you heard this bunnymen album, its brilliant, i think you'll really like it"

also (he said, warming to his subject) avoid any attempt at whatever it is you might consider cool or being matey with their friends. Whatever you do you still seem to turn into your own parents at times emitting pointless, even ridiculous phrases such as 'when i was your age .....', 'my house my rules' (and variations thereof), etc, But slipping them a tenner when they think noone else is looking always goes down well. As does going and making a cup of tea whenever a bit of nakedness appears on the telly.

I'd send them to make a cup of tea when nakedness appears on the telly, especially when I'm watching my DVD collection.
