If yes, then how much is it per hour and do you think I could get a job too as I saw a thread somewhere before requiring immediate attention, as certain members were questioning the release of their controversial covers album, Other Peoples Songs.

Sources also tell me that theres a thread in Istanbul dissing Loveboat as well. My only demand is that I don't work on weekends.
What the hell are you talking about? I am not defending anyone, I am just stating this incident or near miss has NOTHING to do with Erasure! So why bring them into this? You guys never bring up any other band on this forum to bad mouth other than Erasure! Aren't there any other bands you don't like? You guys are just going WAY off topic here! Remember this is about the near miss that the boys experienced two days ago. I had no idea the article from the New Zealand Herald mentioned Erasure, or that they PSB official site did.

Did they give you a free sense of humour bypass operation as a bonus with your Erasure fan club membership?

Yeah that is exactly what they gave me! I have no idea what the hell you are talking about! :?

I guess someone is paying all of you guys to keep bringing up Erasure into this issue.

Can you translate it ? I can´t read spanish.
It was horrible to read about that on official site. I always visit it first. I actually cried when reading it. It´s just awful to think that Neil and Chris might have died. :shock: :cry:

"World almost loses Pet Shop Boys in a LAN airplane. The band had performed last sunday in Chile" :cry:

LAN is the airline name. In one of their airplanes Neil and Chris flew to Auckland...).

The literal translation: PSB BAND WAS TRAVELING IN LAN PLANE THAT ALMOST GOT HIT W/SPACE GARBAGE. Oh well, I've been so close to several car/plane accidents, but you just know it's not your time yet, & both Neil & Chris look like a pair of bad motha...just read my signature.

The BBC have the story hidden away in a corner of their website and don't even mention PSB being on board. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-p ... 505143.stm

They won't mention them being on board the plane, neither did the New Zealand Herald either.
