Factoid: Residents of Manchester are known as "Mancunians". How cool is that?

4. So cool, right? I love that term ... It's a holdover from the Roman days.

We don't get history like that here.

Damned them for traveling forward in time, stealing the Cure's sound, and then getting rich on their tuppence!

14. I never implied that JD came after The Cure

and I damn well know better than that anyway. But they're still terrible :D

15. They're not terrible, either.

Not as bad as Coldplay, anyway. :D

I don't have access to YouTube, so I will leave it up to you to find something great by these Mancunians.
