Fools Gold/What the World Is Waiting For

[Sean of the Shed]

A double A-side single by the Stone Roses, either of which could apply to the Stone Roses resurrection, though the first seems the far more likely out come for this second coming. Having announced gigs for the end of June next year, I'd say their hardest job will be to stay together that long.
Apart from Reni, time has not been kind to the members of the band

Squire belongs on the Men who look like old lesbians website, Mani looks like the Moog from Willo the Wisp, and of course Ian Brown has always looked like he hasn't fallen far down the evolutionary tree.
They're going to struggle to recreate the good times of old.

Ha ha very good. But maybe Reni has had the cruelest fate of all - I think he looks like he should be in a Brother Beyond reunion tour.

"The band said the death of Mani's mother earlier this year was the catalyst that brought them back together, even though the bassist had poured scorn on reunion rumours that surfaced shortly after the funeral."

Nothing to do with illegal downloads affecting their ability to live off their royalties then.

To be fair, Ian Brown is looking a lot more cheerful there than he normally does.

In fact...

Saucer of milk for Mr Shed!

Girls have always liked Ian Brown; to approximately quote Sybil Fawlty again, "you seem to think we girls should be aroused by people like Montgomery and Baden-Powell".

My mate went out with Reni, and I must say he's looking very good, but generally, they're middle aged blokes who want you to buy their music, not snog them.

Top picture looks like the tabloids got a younger picture of them and artificially aged it.

Don't remember anything specific, but she's a top quality girlfriend, and she thought he was nice.

Not so sure about Monty, but I'm pretty sure that girls would've been wasting their time with Baden-Powell anyhow.

it's a quote from Fawlty Towers which makes the point that .. Oh, never mind.
