[M+L Fan II]

Called Vanilla?. Circa 1998.

Bloody awful, wern't they.

[KuppanMoyles69]

I remember them! Yes they were VERY bad!

[Sidders]

Yeah, I remember them. They had a song called 'No Way, No Way' and it was really annoying. I think the girls were in grange hill or something.

[magenta]

NO WAY NO WAY. MMNOMANOM. NOT TODAY. NO WAY!

[Wanna buy a house]

I liked them

[Everlast]

They used to live near me in Southgate they were shite and they weren't the best lookers either

[Sam]

They were earlier than '98 weren't they? I didn't recognise the name but I know the song and I thought I was younger when that came out.

[Sidders]

It could have been '97 but not before that. I think it features on NOW 39.

[Sam]

Uglybob springs to mind. How much that he'll know?

[Sidders]

£10, but I dare say he'll enlist some help from a book or t'internet.

[Jonny Hoare]

Bob's knowledge of Now Albums is quite freakish

[Funky Drummer]

Yeah, the name rings a bell. As far as I remember they were awful.

[Uglybob]

yes its on Now 39, it was released around Xmas 1997 and thats why it became a hit. Any old crap can get in the charts in December : even Shane and Keith. They was talk that they were coming back with a 1 song deal covering Nancy Sinatras "These Boots Were Made For Walking" but I havent heard anything since. Johnny and Denise on the Big Breakfast had a right laugh at them I seem to remember.

[Bridgie]

johnny and denise were so funny together. watching used to set me up for the day with a big smile. theyre song especially for you was funny. somehow that got to number 3. again at christmas

bridgie

[Sam]

I *sob* miss *sniff* the *sob* big *sob* breakfast. It's *sob* not *sniff* fair, RI:SE *sob* is *sniff* shite

[Bridgie]

yeah but the big breakie died when johnny and denise left. it was crap with richard bacon. i hope he never works again because he was rubbish on tv

[Gigglyboots]

Argh, that song. Got it ringing through my head now. It was absolute crap!

[Bridgie]

yeah the song was terrible but the video was funny

[Sam]

NOOOO! Richard Bacon is brilliant, a genius. I'm dying to get him back on the telly. He's second only to Mr Moyles and both are severly underated. The only problem he had on the big breakfast was production trying to make him be like Johnny instead of letting him do things his own way.

[Uglybob]

Richard Bacon was supposed to be fronting Fame Academy but someohow dropped as the head of programming was the same woman that sacked him from Blue Peter, Lorraine Hegnessey. Hes probably doing the BBC Choice stuff for it.

[Sam]

Seriously? Where'd you get that from? That's Harsh, you'd think she'd forgive and forget by now. I don't think he's doing the BBC Choice stuff for it, I remember seeing who it was and it wasn't him.

[the_dr]

he's currently doing local radio - 3 hours on xfm on sundays

[Bridgie]

sorry is it just me or do other people agree that as soon as richard bacon got taken off outside broadcast and put in the house he was absolute crap. whereas johnny vaughan was lightning quick with his humour constanly coming out with witty comments, you could tell richard bacon was always building up to jokes he had thought of in the break and he was struggling to set himself up for the punchline and fit them in to unrelated topics.

just a thought

bridgie

[Sam]

I can't get xfm on my comp, it's a bloody pain up the arse. Richard Bacon is brilliant because he isn't lightening quick, he's got a completly diffrent style to others of his type ie; Moyles, Kietly, Vaughan. He takes the piss out of himself through sarcasm and thats what makes him so funny.

[Sidders]

Did anyone see Johnny Vaughn Tonight last night with Simon Cowell taking the pee out of Johnny because of the 'Especially for You' record?
