10. Venglos was in the original stage version of Evita (playing Magaldi) a part also played by Jimmy Nail in the motion picture. On his Crocodile Shoes Tour Nail had a pint with Fozzie backstage at the Brighton Centre and they discussed these lyrics:

(Magaldi:)
Eva beware of the city
It's hungry and cold, can't be controlled, it is mad
Those who are fools are swallowed up whole
And those who are not become what they should not become
Changed, in short, they go bad.

(Eva:)
Bad is good for me
I'm bored, so clean, and so ignored
I've only been predictable, respectable
Birds fly out of here, so why oh why oh why the hell can't I?
I only want variety, of society

10. Both were abject failures at VP - & spent only 1 season there (or 8 months in SF's case) before being shown the door.

3. "Dick Knight wouldn’t recognize Gareth Barry if he stood on Brighton beach with a seagull on his head’’.

(To be fair, the smarmy gobshite might've had a point..)
