    The singer (Vicky) came to our school to pick her sister (my English teacher) up. She was marked outside in a convertable BMW dazzling Muntz Street with bright red hair.

    That clears that up. There is no such a thing as a sexy Brummie. Sorry but they are all soap dodgers.

    Sorry Patrick, but you're quite wrong!!!

    They definitely ARE Brummies. Apart from the fact they've all got Brummie accents, I've read several interviews where they talk about B'ham being the'r hometown. I think they're from Pd's neck of the woods. My English teacher is a Brummie and the singer is her sister.

    They did indeed, . That was their C86 period where they all had brightly coloured backcombed hair that made Paul King look like Phil Collins.

    So Bluenose, Have you got a fuzzbox? And do you know how to use it?? Would like to see it in action.

    I know they can be very inspiring and an extra dimension when placed in front of a buzzing Marshall stack. Not forgetting a Wah wah pedal for recreating that 'Shaft' moment.

    PS, English teachers are quite sexy actually.

    No they haven't.

    No you haven't.

    I think they're from Pd's neck of the woods.

    They're not.

    > teacher is a Brummie

    No she isn't.

    I thought that was their original name, which was trimmed down to FB when they signed to the major label and transformed themselves from screechy Slits impersonators to a Second Division Banarama.

    I always thought the singer had a funny nose, but my brother got the horn over her.
