How many times does this get asked...?!

It’s a folly of a song - it means nothing but is supposed to make you ask questions - a bit like The Riddle by Nik Kershaw

I'm sure there are bigger fans than me out there...I just happen to be hanging around these parts with this motley crew of fans for the last...erm...5 years or so (or is it longer? - someone correct me if I'm wrong)! :o

I've been captivated by all things Del since 1992.

If you're a total newbie to the band then you're allowed to ask numb (?) questions! ;D

If you read the board you'll soon realise that there's a general air of sarcastic cynicism pervading most of the threads. This trait we have learned from our leader who jokingly told us to crappity smack off some years ago.

You can't get rid of us that easily!! ;D
