well Rich that has cast you in a whole new light in my eyes...always had you
down as more of a Spandau Ballet man...but hey.

I reckon I'm probably 5 years older than you based on that - the Smiths came out
when I was just about 18 and while I can cope with the music, the
self-aggrandising blather of lead gladoili abuser was/is repugnant - when you've
grown up with the bands from a few years earlier that just never washed. As
someone said, without Marr he'd have been an unhappy librarian writing indignant
letters to the Daily Mail.

My younger sister and her mates liked the Smiths - they were wrong as well.

PS - no-one knows what the feck calculus is - I mean approach a fixed point at a
constant speed but never arrive (I can understand you not wanting to if
Birmingham is the fixed point...but please)
