Thats not drugs, thats how proper scousers talk

[comfy1]

American is your first language because English is something Americans are too slack to make the effort with.

Ian McCulloch should be praised for how well he took being interviewed by Michael Jackson's corpse.

@shooterwall English, please ?

[TheHarecat]

LOL! The interviewer hasn't got a fucking clue what Mac's going on about! Do they have designer media-mould in Hoxton? maybe they put it as Penicillin on top of their skinny mochachino's?

... me too

Its the coke that's done him in. Its no secret, everyone in the biz knows what he's been doing the last few years. This makes me feel very very sad.

[kinksbeatlesstones]

He is the god of cool! A shave and a bit of black hair dye and it would seem like yesterday all over again!!!

[sirtinycreep]

Lord, he's aged! Looks like an old tramp. Whatever happened to his boyish looks???

And that voice...what's he been eating? Gravel! Hard to believe it's him. He's aged about 25 years in two.

[crypttonite]

his voice is not the same as it was,he sounds unwell
