I cant see Thompsons taking us over. The sales of the Beano and the Dandy are not buoyant enough.

Nor me.

I hope not, too, they're proven liars. For starters, they can't be twins, as there are THREE of them.



I saw them very early in their career before the pop hits, and there were a damn sight more than 3 of the mofos.  Squatting hippies or hippy squatters. Drummers all over the shop. And fire jugglers.

Jason Lee, Cyndi Lauper and the red headed bloke out of Band of Brothers, by the looks of it.

Hold on to your seats!

The 80s was fucked up.

The 80s were ace - new romantics, Depeche Mode, Villa winning things (we'll gloss over the late 80s...)

Was there much ado about there being three of them at the time and not two as advertised?

A fair amount.

They were largely forgotten about, though, when the Ben Folds Five became famous.

Ben Folds Five were great, even if there were only three of them.
