Hiya Elizabeth & Mad ones !,
Couldn't agree with you more & I have to admit I've been a bit quiet on the
list lately - so like you I will be making a wee effort to "do my bit" from
now on............
........anyway, last night I dug out my MIS Nutty Boys Comics & was flicking
through some of them & I came across a bit of trivia that I had forgotten
about & now i'm gonna hit you lot with it to test yer knowledge a wee bit -
so here goes (& nae cheatin' !) - After Madness split up, what was the name
originally chosen for "The Madness" ? & Why didn't they use it ?
bye the noo.....................& have fun.............Rob W
