Right. Let's get one thing straight. Saying the word "FUCK" in public in 2005 is about as controversial as being served by a middle-aged transexual in Marks and Sparks.

Sadly - for them anyway - it's going to take more than a couple of broken lights in a Cambridge boozer and and tunes that linger in the memory longre than this sub-Pistols'n'Roses slip road to obscurity if they're ever going to achieve their aim.
