Crikey. I didn't mean to start a feud between anyone. Anything that you guys tell me is really useful. My dissertation is looking at the way that Mod has possibly progressed over the years, so the fact that you all have different opinions is great and really interesting. Thank you again. I should stop saying thank you so much, I might start sounding like Hugh Grant.
I wouldn't call myself a Mod but I guess I have always had a place there ish. I used to play drums for a Mod band a couple of years ago. But I wasn't a Mod as such. Gonna stop rambling now. By the way, I haven't just joined the list to do my diss, well it was that originally but its actually really good as well. And its good to talk with like minded people. TTFN Andy Just read over it, sound like an idiot.
