It's not Happy HOUR, more like Happy Four Hours
(just like rush hour is Rush Four Hours.)

You're right... I'd rather do the Canadian Miss Universe transvestite.

shouldn't post a close-up of a 60 y/o woman like that, especially one
controlled by the Brits. :))

Look what happens after a 'successful world tour'.. (read lots of money)

By the summer of 1982, drug use within the band was creating serious
problems for Hynde. The Pretenders lineup would change repeatedly over
the next decade as a result of drug related deaths and internal
conflict.

Honeyman-Scott died of heart failure in June 1982, just days after
Farndon had been fired from the band. Farndon himself was found dead on
14 April 1983 by his American model wife, Conover. He had passed out and
drowned in his bathtub following a heroin overdose. { of course }

Amidst the ever changing lineup, the controversial Hynde endured as the
sole original Pretender until Chambers' return in the mid 1990s.


Sounds like they were Brian Jones'd?

Hi Nick,

She has had multiple sclerosis for a while now, and is trying to beat it
(including a radical new treatment...).

BTW, Happy Easter, mate! :-)

Radical treatment? huh? You've opened another can of worms.


Here's what the web (MD) says:

"Doctors still don't understand what causes multiple sclerosis, but
there are interesting data that suggest that genetics, a person's
environment, and possibly even a virus may play a role."


What? "there are interesting data" ? Like what.. profit data?
The scientists that know what causes MS have been eliminated?


"Doctors still don't understand" ??? :-o

I've been searching to find out about her and MS but have come up with
nothing. Strange!!!

And beer and easter eggs do not a happy easter make. ;-)(

I'm inclined to agree.
Considering they have been "treating" my son for over 20years now, with
next to no useful result. The only exception is a recent Neurologist
who seems to have a better grip than all of them put together. He is the
only one out of dozens that have made a difference in his life.

(By recent - I mean within the last 12 months )

Oh.. then go to www dot while science sleeps dot com, then type /
references. Have a look at the article below published in NZ?

There are some 'data' in right sidebars:
http://home.comcast.net/~flightsim/Viewpoint_Monte_MS.pdf


Is the following clip from the dot com above clear enough?

Suppose these two files ought to be deleted from the webspace soon?

Yepper - I've always been curious just exactly what they 'can'
experience. But, not THAT curious...... :)
