Joy Division played before The Cure. & in between the two sets, me & my mate Pete Johns popped into the front bar, where we found Ian sitting on his own. & we bought him a pint, or was it a half? #TimsTwitterListeningParty.

Paul McCartney was working in studio 2, & at around 6pm most days, he'd pop his head round the door & wish us good night & good luck with the music. We'd usually be there until well past midnight @Tim_Burgess @DuranDuran#TimsTwitterListeningParty.

It’s old fashioned, ugly, imperialist, corporate greed, & how they continue to exploit artists who signed when they were naive & vulnerable.

Hey @Babydan_uk I just spent the best part of two hours assembling your DanChair. Guess what? IT IS WONKY! & doesn't sit on a hard floor without rocking - like a table in a dodgy pub. Maybe you should supply a folded beer-mat to wedge under the foot. 2 words - BAD MANUFACTURE.

Over the years there's been one question which I've been asked time & time again:."Simon, which is your favourite lyric of all time?" & I must admit, it's been a tricky one to really pin down. Well finally I have an answer, & it goes like this . .
