   About Ally Craig
The rumours are true. I've been to London. There are studios there. I went in one, and when I came out I had recorded five songs with a crack squad of musicians. One of the new tracks, Pilot Inspektor, is currently free to download. You can also hear an early mix of A Train then a Train then a Train, and the final mix of forthcoming single Angular Spirals.

If you would like to show me kindness, why not attend one of the recitals on my busy calendar? If you are desperate for a tangible demonstration of your love for me, you could always buy a copy of the acoustic demo CD Junk and Stuff.


Four song CDR demo EP - only 5 copies left
£5 including p+p

Disabled people?! Have you lost your mind! To live in Ramsey Street ( not sure bout the spelling of that one ) you must be white, have no religion, big breasts are a must have, and floppy hair for the blokes, NO SMOKING (unless you are a villain )and you can only be fat and rough if you are there for comic effect or if you are 'wise' like Harrold. But having said all that, we still bloody love don't we! It still beats being depressed to death by Eastenders!

Mmm yes, we didn't see that swimming pool incident coming did we....''I'll just go and get us a sandwhich and leave my friend, who incidentally can't walk, in a pool on her chuffing own''! Give the viewer some bloody credit! I bet they would have eaten the sandwhiches in the pool too!How long till Bridget's up and running again then Ally? I recken two weeks, probably less. Don't fancy Jake's chances though.Over-eating doggy snacks kills thousands of dogs a year as we well know......rant over :)

Hey!
Probably you don't remember me but I'm the vocals of Luis Costa's band, Madcab.

Just wondering how everything's going on.

See you...

Sorry we left early but ended up doing 5 hours of traveling in total due to bloody traffic jams.
Hope to see you play again soon.

Hey

Do you think you could do me a favor? My friend Brian has entered a competition on MySpace for his short film. Its about a kid whose parents are in the porn industry. Its hilarious. It would mean a ton to mean if you checked out the movie and gave it a thumbs up booyah in the box below the video.

Yes, I see, but they don't actually like me, they hang around because of my musky smell, THEY LOVE A BIT OF MUSK! Ooh!

Or maybe the walking stick was actually made of cake and he finally thought sod it and just ate it. It's worth thinking about, granted, not for long though. I'm sorry I insulted your leafy face. I'm just jelouse, the leaves ignore me....:(

Nov 8 2007 5:53 AM

Oh don't me started on Frazer! Turns out it was all in his mind due to accidentally killing his brother even though the doctors did diagnose him with spinal damage...........hmmm. I guess he must just have 'magic legs' a bit like Tom Hanks.

What the F**K is going on? Paul Robinson a nice family man? Not very sexy is it! I am writing a letter to my local MP as we speak. I'm not bloody having it Ally I can tell ya! Will you join me in my fight to return Paul to his evil ways? Together we can do it by Jupiter!
