New Year's Eve was spent watching an increasingly emaciated Jackie Bird on the BBC. Still, she's a model professional, similar to our Dougie Donnelly (a consumate professional).

Our next AA single will be two songs: 'Mentor' and 'Neebor'. 'Mentor' is inspired by two people: Walter Yetnikoff,  the legendary manager of Michael Jackson and other 70s'/80's lumineries and, less glamourously, Vladimar Romanov, the current chairman, manager, dictator and tea lady of scottish soccerball team Heart of Midlothian. Neebor is inspired (I use the word loosely) by some of our mates.

If Grace Records are true to their word, the songs will be out in March. Murphy's law dictates the praise we receive for these works will be posthumous.

Genuine thanks to Grace records and everyone who has supported  us in 2006. Stopstarts do not support Hearts FC.
