Forum is mentioned on the bands Twitter site Cool.

yep,we`ll call it progress but ya know i have belonged to a site for nearly 10 years(shacknet) and nearly 18,000 posts on(prob more with the ones i`ve lost and alias posts)means two things,one i`m a sad fucker who hasn`t got a life(erm i jest,i have two kids for a start) and two forums can run forever if they have folk who wanna share stuff...or just jangle(talk) some...the band givin the forum the nod is sound enough,it is interestin if they read it,maybee they don`t....forums should be balanced,funny and constructive........hopefully this will get bigger cause it can only survive if we get members who wanna share stuff..............the band could post,cant see it although deffo carey and kenny are more internet savvy these days..i certainly wont wet me knickers if they do..............it would be interestin but they know theyve gotta be careful..but at the end of the day we are just fans of music...carey may wanna share some veiws bout richard hawleys tour etc...............

We certainly need..... allthefriendswecanget

We have the basics of a fan website, which we were gonna pull together - if Paul is reading, we just need a little extra push mate, the basics are there, and I'm happy to keep doing what I was doing if everyone else is so busy.

Surely that would push the forum even further ?


Also Trace, if your reading, I'm the best looking outta this bunch and will be available straight after the Barrowlands gig for cocktails on the Clyde cruiseboat ( I'm buying, you just wanna bring your acoustic guitar and those beautiful eyes and it will be a lovely evening - just the 2 of us )

i have now bought two titfers on this tour and we're only halfway through. Also saw a deluxe Chewbacca costume for 700euros, bargain, Gav

should've bought it an wore it to the next show maybe??

The tweet didn't say who sent it. Probably too long to add the "C." or "G." at the end because it had a URL in it...but it was probably Carey, as tonybolony said.

was just reading thru some old posts at Shacknet.. (i dont really participate there much - just like to creep! ) and found this nice one talking bout the band back in 2001...don't know the poster (Graeme - you might?) and apologies if he's a member here and po'ed that i repost...

The Camera Obscura people are real sweet too. I first came across them in a Peel Festive 50 about 2001 (??) when Eighties Fan was in the top 10....Anyway enquiries in my local independent record shops drew a blank so I googled them and managed to track down the label. Rang the label and actually spoke to someone in the band and explained I couldnt find the single and needed it in my life. She took my address and said I'll see what I can do ..... blah blah blah I thought .....a few days later a parcel arrived with a copy of the single, a copy of the album, some nice postcards, loads of pin badges and a couple of promo posters for the album too and finally a hand written note thanking me for liking them.

it may be harder to talk to them directly now tho...
tony
