Sorry about the Libra thing. I just put that there as an excuse to add a facetious link. People can leave it or remove it, I'm not fussed. Not a bad article, now, is it? Links and everything, very cool- elmsyrup

Yep, very good, elmsyrup. So do you like this place? You can do some other articles if you want... :) -- Oliver P. 18:33 Feb 5, 2003 (UTC)

I know, it isn't a bad place at all. But I don't have many fields of expertise... elmsyrup

Oh, you don't have to be an expert at anything. You just need to always know at least one thing that hasn't been covered yet. And even if you don't know anything, you can always look stuff up. ;) -- Oliver P. 10:52 Feb 9, 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Lurpak

From what I can remember, Peel always used to refer to Lamacq as "Lammo" and it was Mark and Lard who referred to him as "Steve Lurpak". Is this correct, or did Peelie start the "Lurpak" thing?

I think you're right, I remember Peel calling him Lammo --MartinUK 16:14, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

I'm going to change the nickname to "Lammo" since I'm sure this is correct. - Zagrebo 21:22, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

IIRC it (Lurpak) was a Chris Moyles afternoon show thing they conjured up one day during a link after a trailer for the evening session (on reflection realising how long ago that was i really do feel old now!)160.5.247.8 01:08, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Thinking about it again, it might have been "Prince of Peanuts" ... 160.5.247.8 01:10, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Obligatory Fanzines...

I'm removing the snide/skeptical/un-encyclopedic comment: "It is obligatory that all music journalists would have started a fanzine during their teenage years. " I have left and reworked the statement that he did in fact start a fanzine called A Pack of Lies. Canjecricketer 13:39, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] On his being "arguably the most famous fan of Colchester United"

I'm not really sure that this is relevant to anything. Plus it's not sourced at all. Unless anyone really has an objection to this, I'm going to remove that line (towards the end). Canjecricketer 13:05, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

You could see it that way, but you could source it? I'm pretty sure it's true on both counts. I had a friend who as a Southend fan who told me that although he liked Lamacq's music, he didn't like him because he was a Colchester fan! A quick google search for Steve Lamacq Colchester United reveals a large number of results and interviews where Lamacq has spoken of his love for Colchester. I will source it myself if people decide that it is notable enough to remain in the article. Petepetepetepete 14:12, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
