It's official!! The Biggest Smiths fan in the world is James_the_tattie_truth !!! Student and Moz-Solo Chat regular James, 18, today won The Smiths fan-of-all-fans competition. Held at the legendary Salford Lads Club, the BBC Radio6 show pitted James against finalist Dave, 40, postman. Nerves were showing as both attempted to answer several rounds of questions dished out by Liz Kershaw. At the very end of the show, the transmission stopped with James and Dave on 4 points each!. Both ended singing along to Panic, with Dave having the edge. But, it wasn't enough....and James triumphed.....taking away a gold disc (yes - a gold disc!) of The Smiths first album. Dave left with a copy of the first album, signed by all the band members. Dave confessed to playing The Smiths in his van every day whilst out on his rounds. How he's going to fit a record player in the back of the van might take a bit of working out, but then, as we know - these things take time :-) Congratulations to James and Dave who beat off stiff competition to reach the finals. How the winner was decided is not known...please add to this exciting story!!! --- Girl Unafraid also writes: Some pictures of the day:

The following appeared in the Manchester Evening News 17th May, page 12. The article appeared with a colour picture of Morrissey relaxing in an open top car. MORRISSEY IS BACK WITH VENOM Pop legend Morrissey launches fresh attacks on the Royal Family and Tony Blair in a new documentary. And in his first major TV interview in 16 years, the outspoken Manchester singer and vocal veggie returns to his 'Meat is Murder' theme. 'It's on the same moral leval as child abuse. It's the same thing.' he insists. 'Animals are like children. They look to us for protection and we should protect them.' He added 'I feel quite smug about mad cow disease and foot and mouth. I just think ''well what do you expect?'' People have been saying it for years. It's all abuse and it's all human evil. Which is why I think the Royal Family are evil, because they enjoy foxhunting. These are despicable people.' The Importance Of Being Morrissey is due to be screened on Channel 4 next month. A film crew was given exclusive access to the enigmatic former lead singer of The Smiths on tour last year and inside his Los Angeles home. Still without a record deal, Morrissey lives up to his eccentric image, taking tea with Nancy Sinatra and explaining how he never uses the telephone - communicating instead by fax. See next week's Telly Talk for more. End. --- Scan of article posted on the General Discussion Board by Bluenose.
