If you can get away with saying you're in a band, ANY band, you're cool. Oi young bloke -- I've forgotten your name already, old aged senility -- could you pass for a member of Goldie Lookin Chain?

Some of us prefer the likes of The Vines .... The Frames ... Biffy Clyro .... to some over the hill bald homosexual...

Whose pants were unspeakably tight
When poor Reggie would move
