Q.i'd like to formally invite you to my 21st birthday celebration at my house. i'd give you directions. It's not til 6th August 2003 so you should have time to prepare. What are the band's favourite films? What do you think of the new film '28 Days Later'? Have you ever met Dave Gorman or anybody named Dave Gorman? What do you think of Internet Piracy? my girlfriend is doing a uni project on it and she needs some opinions. If i wrote to you, would i get a reply?

A. Thanks for the offer, I think I'm a bit old to go to a 21st but besides that I really can't promise , I miss the birthdays of most of the band and just the other night I missed a 30th of a friend because I was busy. Favourite films- I answered that twenty minutes a go so it's probably on the site. Sorry I haven't seen twenty eight days. I don't recall meeting a dave gorman. Internet Piracy- couldn't care less, then I'm not in a record company, as someone who has a stake in some records I don't really get the impression that we're getting ripped off, well no more than is normal. Bootlegs of gigs and such like I'm all for it, as for the downloading of actual records,it's the sign of the times I suppose, it's a bit like that home taping issue from the 80's. I don't mind people hearing the stuff from other sources other than the buying of records as long as someone else isn't making a killing out off it. If you wrote, you would get a reply eventually, I'll write to you myself soon. Enjoy the rest of 20.
Stevie.
