Alison Moyet lost bags of weight, but she still scares me a little.
She did a great interview on Graham Norton, but she told a really yucky story.

Hi Cringe - I can't remember much of those ones but I'm sure they're good!
I went off them after a while, but their early stuff is among my fave eighties stuff. I remember thinking, he's got rid of Alison Moyet as a vocalist and got a bloke who sings exactly the same!

Hi Dave - ok, keep me posted. We may be able to organise a tentative
meeting at a neutral location, such as Derbyshire.

Hi OneBetty - don't worry, it's only a bit of fun.
It sounds like you attract a certain kind of bloke - but then they must be your type - or are they just very persistent? You need to be firm and make it clear you're only interested in more ordinary blokes... But ordinary blokes are boring, aren't they? Better to have unusual than dull, I say!

Jesus, Tony, just on iTunes, tempted to spend the 9.99 to get
'Hits! The Very Best of Erasure', it's brilliant, my faves are on there 'Blue Savannah', 'Chorus', & 'Love to Hate You'.

...aaaah, touche, fellow alien.
Great point, and to clarify, I meant no disrespect to men, in general. God knows, I am a hopeless fan of the earthly male gender
. I just happen to be an Alien magnet, so to speak...and I've enjoyed every last, painfully unexplainable encounter! Birds of a feather? Absolutely, I am
.
Sleep tight, tonight.

Hi OneBetty - yes, we are aliens, you are right. But so are you to us - ha!
What does that make babies? A sort of hybrid creature!

I've interacted with Aliens for years....
....unfortunately, my experiences were never intergalactic. My Aliens have always come to me in the ordinary, human, male form, right here on Earth. I used to call them dates or boyfriends or hounds, but about 5 years ago I realized, they were ALIENS! The "Main Alien," still rears his ugly, enchanting head every now and again! My, my, my!
As always, fun and creative stuff, Antonionioni

Hey Cringe, 'Sometimes' is one of my fave songs, as was the follow-up,
'The Circus' - a forgotten classic that documents the eighties and the end to the manufacturing way of life in western Europe, with all the social turmoil among the ex-working class. I vaguely remember 'How Bizarre' - that was much more recent. Yes, I see the appropriateness, but I didn't deleiberately copy them, honest. I'm over it now, anyway. We men don't mope around for long. Robot schrobot.

In fact, here's a song for you in current state...
'Sometimes' by Erasure, just listened to it this morning, or 'How Bizarre' by OMC, particularly this part!
Ring master steps out and says "the elephants (insert 'alien' here) left town"
People jump and jive, but the clowns (I suggest 'robot' here) have stuck around
TV news and camera, there's choppers in the sky
Marines, police, reporters ask where, for and why
Pele yells, "We're outta here," Zina says, "Right on"
We're making moves and starting grooves before they knew we were gone
Jumped into the Chevy and headed for big lights
Wanna know the rest? Hey, buy the rights...

You poor thing, there are support groups y'know, I'm sure most of them are
in the U.S. but ask the NHS if they cover it, if they can justify boob jobs they can accomodate you.

Hi Najwa, and thanks. It feels like Christmas!
But I think in a few years, you will have people in love with machines! We'll all have one eventually!

Reckon you're on to a good thing there! I have too many jokes about
WD40 that I won't make because some people here think I'm a nice girl!
BTW check to see if she's made by Slartibartfast?
Yes you can love a machine, there's a peeling yellow convertible showing it's unloved. scraped, fiberglass flesh to me, begging for me to take care of it, make it whole again.
Evil blankfaced ATM says no.
