I would also like to see a series of new photo session pics, like John and the UV members used to do every so often.

John's a 'go-ahead' kind of guy...he probably considers press photos are sooo 20th Century. But what to replace it? My suggestions (for what their worth): The JF standee: in a suitably enigmatic pose, various extremities out of focus or blurred; Inflatable JF: a fairly obvious development this one - popular in Holland and certain areas of Greece; Dehydrated JF: comes in a handy - available as a 4 ounce bag, or, in a commemorative Quiet Man tin. Just add water!; Grow your own JF: tricky, this one...JF's complete genetic sequence - available as an A3+ 312 page, hessian-bound 'novel' - set in 15pt Garamond with Univers drop caps. Also included: 15,000 sq ft, hermetically-sealed lab with gene and protein re-sequencers, willing male and female volunteers, 1.21G watt low-load thermic generator and a nice wallpaper cover scrapbook to keep Polaroids of your tests in... JF beer stein: it's a stein...that...holds......you get the idea? Any takers. Personally, I think some of these are keepers?

We could all wave them at the gigs coming up <img border="0" alt="[The Finger]" title="" src="graemlins/thefinger.gif" /> Or more seriously, what about the idea of some 'item of merchandise' that we could personalise with our screen names and thus identify one another at said gigs... JF action fig-ures, anyone?

Following that to it's logical conclusion, I'd have to walk around with an ancient stone monument strapped to me... Spinal Tap anyone?...
