I have a colleague who doesn't necessarily like Gary Numan's music, but I noticed that every time my wife and I invite him to dinner, he will always use the bathroom at least once during the invitation. Now the real problem is (if you haven't guessed by now because of the subject line) that he happens to borrow my Eagle copy of the Fury CD every time he needs to use the bathroom and listens to it with the CD-player installed in there. He ends up staying in there for 10-15 minutes listening to the CD. I happened to notice the most frequent airtime of that album in there is the song "Creatures". I am not sure exactly what he does in there (but I have a pretty good idea). Has ANYONE had this problem? It may seem ridiculous, but it's a strange world out there. Thanks PS If you REALLY don't know what I'm talking about, I have reason to believe he likes to you.. you know, 'pleasure himself'. Sorry to be blunt. :) ======================================================================= Mark Thomas onionkid70@hotmail.com _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 18 Jan 2001 10:47:28 EST From: JColl81871@aol.com Subject: Collins and Napier to Set Concert Parties in U.S. To: digest@garynumanfan.nu --part1_c4.ea266a0.27986a10_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Numanoids, Jim Collins here (Church of Gary).

It's completely up to date as far the recent releases of "Pure" and the tour section has all of Gary's tour information from 1979 to present. With all the anticipation over the upcoming UK and North American tours, I've been maintaining the "compleat discography" quite often.

But CP Grogan is indeed the Claire Grogan we all know and love from Altered Images and Gregory's Girl.. I find it hard to believe that Linda would really believe that there are 2 Claire Grogans of the same age from Scotland that look and sound identical.. are you a fool girl.... Matt Date: Sun, 14 Jan 2001 12:00:27 -0000 From: "Ian J Harris" Subject: Off Topic Claire Grogan To: Erm no - they ARE the same person. Check the wording of the programme guide. She changed her name so that her too careers were kept seperate ie Claire Crogan "the singer" and CP Crogan "the actress". Like Gary Webb "son of Beryl" and Gary Numan "singer". Original message : No, no, no, no...tut tut! CP Grogan changed her name from Clare Grogan to CP Grogan to *avoid* comparisons and mixups with the singer Clare Grogan. Just call me a smeghead!

Unfortunately, he posted it along with a load of MIME crap :> I have explained this twice before on the digest, but, I am happy to again. It's important - simply deleting posts by anyone guilty of posting html to the digest I don't think is fair - after all, outlook express for one defaults e-mail as html, and unless you know what you are doing, which usually isn't until after you have been told off, you would never know. Therefore, though I find html posts annoying, I don't lay any blame at the feet of the people who just want to post a message and don't know that their message is going to be ful of unwanted code. Now, I am sure that netscape has a different way of working, but as I have never used netscape I don't know, but in Outlook Express it's easy to stop the MIME crap happening - and it will be just as easy to do using Communicator or any other e-mail programme you happen to use. Tools / Options / Mail / Check the box that says Plain Text. Note how the default is html. html is bad. html, not signatures, cause all the MIME crap. HTML should only be used for web pages. HTML has no place in e-mail. (as a side-note, if you post to newsnet, make very sure that html is turned off in your news options, unless you want abusive e-mails forever from the very peeved members of whatever newsgroup you post to. Some usenet regulars can be extremely anal about this - except me, I just get on with explaining how not to do it) Oh - I got my tickets for Manchester the other day through the post - now I have a Numan ticket to stare at for the next 6 weeks or so :D I'll be the overly-made-up goth bloke jumping up and down in excitement.

I told this list some time back that I had an orginal copy of Berserker video to sale or trade. I never did hear anything back at that time, so I held it. I have decided to put it on Ebay. Here is the link, and there is no reserve. http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1405165189 Take care, Mark Hubbard ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 18 Jan 2001 20:31:17 EST From: Duks4Me@aol.com Subject: Spitfire records website To: digest@garynumanfan.nu --part1_c5.d2f554a.2798f2e5_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hello everyone! It's been a while since I last posted but I wanted to share some info. on the Spitfire records website. There are some some neat animation & effects on Gary using his Pure cover artwork mixed in with quotes favoring Gary's career by Bowie, Reznor, Beck, etc. An audio clip from RIP is also mixed in with other Spitfire acts. While the tour info. on Gary's trip to the USA is not complete yet in the tour section, this would be a great place to go to get information. My fellow Numanoids, the website can be reached at spitfirerecords.com & it is doing Gary a world of good. Check it out!!

I remember these proposed releases. GN spoke of them many times, but I think that (at that time anyway) they were planned as a means to an end, to keep a bit of cash coming in from the hardcore (much the same way as "Isolate" I suppose - and a bit of a pointless one that one was, wasn't it?). Times were hard then, and I think GN viewed them as something he could do inbetween albums for money reasons, or maybe for creative reasons (i.e. times were also hard "creatively" for him then, and it may have been a case of releasing SOMETHING is better than realeasing nothing). I don't know. But the thing is, is that maybe now could be a good time for someone to pick up on this again. Maybe Eagle, maybe Numa, maybe someone else. The instrumental (if slightly different - like "Radial Pair") and the acoustic I would go for. Most Numan fans (being the completists I know and love !) would go for all 3. (While I'm on it - Radial Pair is a far better instrumental album than Human in my opinion - especially as you can see most of the tracks as being the workings of actual songs). And theres the added selling tricks of re-workings, previously unreleased tracks, alternate versions, etc, etc to go with them. As a Fan Club only or Nu-World only product (lets face it, they ain't gonna sell a bundle in Our Price & Asda are they?), I think GN has a great sales opportunity. And we'd buy 'em Gazza, we'd buy 'em !!
