Release Integral on ID chips for dogs and other PETS?

Actually, Integral released on an 'id card' is not such a bad idea!

What was it U2 did to get the Fly to no.1 in the uk?? Wasnt it in relation to tour tickets etc? The boys could try that with a single to accompany the forthcoming UK tour?

The Fly was only available for a limited time (I don't recall how long), so people would go out and buy lots of copies in the first week. This was back in the day when songs didn't habitually chart in Pole position.
Its my favourite U2 song by a country mile.

I was talking about Top 30 singles. They had exactly 39 of them. Don't pull my words out of their context, next time you quote me.

They've had 41 of those. London brings the full singles tally to 42.

It's just painful to see how you repeatedly have your facts wrong.

If we would add Absolutely fabulous, we would be at 40. No other PSB single made the UK Top 30. The original West End Girls, the original Opportunities and DJ Culturemix (released seperately for chart purposes) all missed the UK Top 30.

There's just NO WAY you can end up at 41 UK Top 30 singles for Pet Shop Boys.

You're forgetting a double A side my friend.

First of all, I'm not your friend. Secondly, double A-sides don't count as seperate chart results.

That didn't stop you whinging ad nauseam about the exclusion of Seriously from PopArt.

Drico.
