First issue I've bought since 2004:

Excellent front cover!

Anyone a fan of The Gossip?

Anyone sick of hearing 'Standing in the Way of Control'?

[Carol Baynes]

Whoah! That's bordering on being a girlie mag cover!

"Standing in the way of control" is a great tune though. I've been fortunate as I've managed to avoid all the places I'd hear it.
How much does she weigh actually? Just curious...I'm quite impressed that she's unapologetic about her size, but perhaps she's flaunting it a little to much!

[Rob McCow]

Oh good grief!

The Gossip are OK, hardly better than many of the other bands out there. Their 'success' comes from:
A) Beth being the gobbiest lady in town
B) Re-releasing their singles untill they chart.

Standing In The Way Of Control had come out more times than the sun.

[Pip Madeley]

According to this - 'She doesn't wear deodorant, and also doesn't shave her armpits.'

[Trudi G]

I've got 'Standing in the way of control' too - it was one of the things my mate Gordon stuck on an MP3 disc for me - i've had a quick listen, and i liked what i heard.

According to this - 'She doesn't wear deodorant, and also doesn't shave her armpits.'

I bet you don't shave yours either! Not wearing deodorant is a bit much though- although I'm presuming she washes them, which is ok I guess..... If she doesn't, it's a major heave-ho!

[Captain Tancredi]

If I want to listen to a fat woman with a foul mouth, I'll ring my mother.

Should I?

Hm...sorry, Mrs Cragg.

[Simon R]

I bet this Beth's Dildo stinks. Stinks of her fanny and BO and her flat smells of fried food.

[Matthew T]

Repulsive. And airbrushed.

Forever subtle.

[Darren]

also doesn't shave her armpits

Probably can't find them.

[Wayne]

It's Scarlet from OG, isn't it?

[Matthew T]

It's Scarlet from OG, isn't it?

Where's the "puke" smilie gone?!

[Alex]

I quite fancy Beth Ditto.

And that's all I've got to say on the matter.

[Pip Madeley]

Repulsive. And airbrushed.

Indeed, it's got Photoshop written all over it. There's not a chance in hell that her skin is really like that, it should be full of stretch marks.

[Dave Tudor]

Not as scary as the armpit hair on the album cover.

To be fair, she's got a great voice, but I don't really like that 'Standing In The Way Of Control' song, and I've heard it far too many times for my liking.
