LOL, don't tempt me.

Anorak? Did you know Marillion released an album called Anoraknophobia?

[Ron Merlin]

oh gawd, not again... <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

[Mr Happy]

Of course I did. It's one of Marillion's best. i particularly like This is the 21st Century and Seperated Out.

 

Badger, have you pre-ordered the new CD Marbles yet?

[Badger]

Not as yet, I'm afraid. Any day now though!

[ETFC Neil]

And you had the cheek to say my HTML friend's informative postings were boring. Marillion - zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[Badger]

That was kind of the irony behind my post, Neil.

 

By the way Mr Happy, have you seen the film Freaks which is sampled on that album?

[Mr Happy]

No,. I've often wondered where the sample on Seperated Out comes from. Is the film worth a viewing?

[Badger]

It's a very strange film. Made sometime in the thirties, I believe, it used actual circus freaks (for want of a better word) as the central characters. Their story is quite touching, as it follows not only their lives as freaks, but also as individuals with human feelings - at the time the film was made, freaks were still seen as objects of ridicule ny large portions of the population. If you see this film, you will never forget it, whether you enjoy it or not.

 

So, I'd say it's worth a view.

[Mr Happy]

Thanks. I'll check it out on the net.

i mayt if i ever recover from the bordem of this thread

[Badger]

You could always say something interesting to spice it up.

[Normans Wisdom]

Gives badger baiting a new twist!

[Badger]

It's bad enough being baited - I don't want to get all twisted as well!

Yes, it was made in 1932.

Yes, it is well worth seeing this film.

This thread doesn't seem appropriate for this discussion, though.

[Badger]

You've changed the title to Freaks now, which makes it even more of a Marillion thread!

I assume that the unknown browser was probably Cyclops trying out something interesting.

 

What happened to the other 30%?

 

[Mr Happy]

I've just oredered Freaks off the Internet. Only cost £8.

[Badger]

Video or DVD?

[Colin, Germany]

Does the DVD have 'making of' extras etc.?
