MARK KNOPFLER WAS IN HALIFAX

OK, not really. I have to say, the resemblance seemed much greater and more hilarious when you were downing a Guinness on a Friday night. And Mark Knopfler has a weakness for rust-coloured suits which these local bandsters do not

ANTAGONIZE THE MOTHER WHO LIKES COFFEE

-”Don’t you understand? You haven’t even listened to those songs, have you? The Live Era songs! All you know is November rain! MTV stuff- pretentious crap for the crowds! Have you even seen his hair in Welcome to the Jungle?
