Don't forget our family man version as well.

I must confess that I haven't heard that one Jim.
Bearing in mind that this is a family board and we don't want to upset Ric , please enlighten me what the words of the "family man" version are".
Cheers .

Nice one Jim.
Still prefer to use it to taunt Cockneys though.

40 years already

I love this bit from " Control " where he mentions his favourite colour ;-)

Rest in Peace Ian

I wasn’t a Joy Division fan until 1983 when I discovered them on the back of my love for New Order. Strangely, apart from a couple of blokes who stood grumpily at the back of New Order gigs with their arms folded, nobody really cared about them then. It’s been bizarre to see the legend and legacy just grow and grow through the decades, particularly over the last few years.

What a sad death, but what a legacy he left.

Interesting piece on how "if it wasnt for City...." The iconic picture at the bridge in Hulme may never have happened!

We've got some cool fans, haven't we? Paul Morley, rock journalist and author of The North (and Almost Everything In It) is an avowed blue.I've always had the strong impression that the fine playwright Trevor Griffiths is also a blue (there's a reference to Colin Bell in Comedians that could only come from an insider), but I've never been able to verify that.
I will admit that, out of sheer prejudice, I've never listened to Mick Hucknall's music. Objectively — is it any good?

Haha, that makes me strongly think of what happens on here, when you get people posting on a thread to say “this thread is of no interest”!
