Simi...I didn't like it when it came out either.<br />Similar to yourself, the mass popularity and attendant PR bumph get my goat.<br />So much so, I bought a T-Shirt bearing the legend: "I Don't Give A F*ck What Frankie Says"<br />(I was 14, and my mum refused to wash it)<br /><br />And then Two Tribes came along - by christ, that was a belter. But having already shunned all things Frankie, I couldn't admit it for several yearsRigid Digithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16757290844359368792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7633543688149775322.post-78433205367476853082018-06-13T14:16:29.841+01:002018-06-13T14:16:29.841+01:00Have you ever tried to read The North by Paul Morl...Have you ever tried to read The North by Paul Morley? Christ it's impossible!

And Mike Read is such an epic twunt.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14569732807130090838noreply@blogger.com
