    Finish the chips (Score:0)
    What Mr. Marr has achieved after this?
    Maybe it's time to go to Burger. Reform the band, well, atleast misters M&M. And finish the chips.

    Noope, ain't gonna happen.

    -
    The break-up, when it did come, happened at a meeting convened by Marr in a fish and chip shop in London's Kensington.

    "Johnny dropped the bombshell and our chins hit the table. Morrissey's hit the floor. And we didn't get to finish our chips."

    The mighty Swallowneck has given this "audio" some consideration after I recorded it all onto a cassette for him this afternoon...

    After some light refreshments (shandy lager and an alpen cereal bar)he purred "Oh, how I would fucking love to watch private footage of the "rise" of Mikey Farrell!" I knew what he meant by that comment, so I made my excuses and left him to presumably stroke the matter over after I went!

        What was the story initially about? I lost myself in this impressive thread of the most sophisticated discussion... over absolutely nothing! (except over grammar and remarkable baroque-style word plays and displays, of course).

        Post Scriptum: English is just as complicated (and complex) as any other language.
