I would like to know what the rest of Happy Happy Joy Joy`s title stands for? HJJASADKMSM?? Also can we have a `Start new topic` at the top of the page, It is becoming such a ball ache having to travel so far south to get to it... Thanx.

HJJASADKMSM? Think you've missed a few letters out there! Coming soon'll be a page for the other members of the crew to tell you ALL my various names, and where they come from.And yes, yes, I'll put a start new topic link at the top of the page. Any other request???

What does REDIDENCY mean Gary?

It's code language from the war, Milky. No idea what it means mind.

KNOWONE MUST EVER KNOW THE `REAL REASON` WHY HE HAS SO MANY NAMES...THE EMBRACE CREW SWORE AN OATH MANY MOONS AGO...TO BREAK THE OATH WOULD MEAN ONLY ONE THING...7 WEEKS RESIDENCY AT THE HULL ADELPHI.

I have no idea what REDIDENCY means....what dose it mean then???

You bugger, you've removed your original message and resposted it with the spellunk mestak removed!

Why do de crew all have mad hair and as it is de law to have mad hair to be in de embrace crew can I join man? I mean I have grey mad hair innit?Ali Gav

i got naturally black hair, am i allowed in??Hi Gav, how goes it?

Actually you don't need any hair (see Mr Beeves) to be in the crew, grey or otherwise. However, apparently, as Gary TM did all our jobs in Thailand and declared them "a piece of piss" it seems we may be all out of a job. Oh bugger!

Talking of hair, I have had recent cause to consider the barnet of our man Gor (this consideration did occur in a pub). Conclusions were reached that if a helping of gel were used, Gor would go down really well as a member of a boy band, after all he does have a kinda likeness to Rich from FIVE. All we need know is another four members... any volunteers... Des!

Nice site! I like the diary section and espcially the pictures. I shall have to keep my eyes out for you at Witnness to see if you're all as garoogaous in the flesh xx

Polly - Believe me - the Embrace crew are gorgeous!!

Hey, Gary. Have you seen what Marky Mark the DJ has to say on the subject down at the bottom of the page?!!

And another thing, Mr TM, Sir.So you and the band flew to Thailand and then........... ?

Someone has replied to DJ Shite`s comments about the lovely Tour Manager.

Dear Polly, we may or may not be garoogauos, but we are cheap.

Speak for yourself Milky. I'm anything BUT cheap! Only yer finest red wines thank you very much.

Be careful Dave - Ive got a photo of you after a few wines on the train to Scotland- Not a pretty site (see photos page- HHJJ all swaying all shouting MSM)

not much stuff to report these past few days??ah well. win some lose some.hey Dave, when is everyone getting back from Thailand??any news from TM?

They're back! C below.Just waiting on the TM to do a few diary entries for our entertainment.And I think we're missing one from Gor for the Berlin gig as well!

cool, cheers Dave. hey, Mr.TM guy. please check your e-mail!

I have....check yours.

nice. TA!

Diary looking a bit sad so just posted a little off duty entry. As regards the missing Berlin diary entry, I think that ones down to Gary TM bloke as well as the missing Thailand ones.

Milky, Milky, what's DGDDAGDBllward stand for then??

I was just jealous of you with all your initials Dave. Well actually that's not true. I think it was a glitch as I thought I'd written Milky in the "your name" field but it came out like that so you tell me mate!

That'll be a glitch with YOUR Mac then Milky

You just couldn't resist Dave could you!

Hello my little Cherubs.Aplolgies for the lack of diary action from Thailand. Its been completely bonkers here, but the vibe is amazing. Fans everywhere!! Proper `Take That` style.Hope you`re all well and not missing us too much. Milky and HHJJASADKMSM Dave - Monitors and FoH is a piece of piss.

Steve Chapman says TMing is a piece of piss as well!

wish i was in thailand right about now!

Hi guys.Embrace are officially a "boy band"now.The next few weeks will be spent working on our dance moves,getting trendy haircuts and the all important "6 pack".Bedtimeis now a mandatory 9.30pm and drinking is limited to a sweet sherry at the end of a tour.In the spirit of "tour harmony" we expectall crew to adopt this new regime.(des is limited to 1oz of medium strength cat nip per tour)See you soon boys

Embrace have officially changed their name to M-BRACE. Their new single is out on the 29th July 2004, entitled `Oh Ay ( Boys from up north )`. Produced by Paula Abdul.Check it out kidz!!

DAVE - That comment really hurt!!

As did "Monitors and FoH is a piece of piss", sniff.

It is isn't it!!!.................(JOKE- HHJJ & Milky & any other noize based proffesionel in the entertainment industry)ps I just took a speedboat out at montreaux on lake Geneva !

Abbiss...Hello, Is It me your'e looking for?

Only if you're 'Once, Twice, Three Times a Woman'

Dave man, 3 times a woman? yer daft sod It's " 3 times a lady"

Oh yeah, of course. Don't have any of his CDs in me collection. Bet you've got them all, a Beeves!Have you got any more pics to Email me? Baby pics? Old passport pics?CU @ Guildford. Oh and I got my briefcases back, cheers.

Oh...ay...oh...ay lad...ooo...ay...

have cold hands, it sucks. i just fnished work at 12.40 midnight. that's all. (pointless, i know!)

nice to see the Diary has been sorted into some sort of order!! i luv reading that Diary! a lot more interesting then my life at present!haha! some dates been annouinced! i was well chuffed when i saw them on wednesday! loooks like i'll be at the southampton gig!!!!anyone else gonna be there???

I've been perousing the net whilst sat here in my large country mansion, and managed to hit the Embrace crew website.Whilst looking through the photographs It dawned on me the Embrace crew are extremely grotesque, ugly and all probabably smell of piss, except for one ashy looking chap as handsome as a new summers day.Des is a lovely chap, smells of roses...more photos please!

Danny luv, where did you get that shirt for T in the Park - looks like your granny knitted it. I think you should take some fashions tips from your brother..........

Guys, you're tour diaries are truely a work of art ! Keep up the good work and we promise to keep smiling.Love & kisses xxx

Thank you Janine. However, I think what the diary needs is someone already in the organisation.......

the diary entry for the TITP is kewl!

OK, you tell us all about it but where`s the proof? You show us a pic of the exhausted (poor sausage), but where is the pic of Abbiss with his piercing?? (brave sausage)If he realy has had a PA and was not just winding folk up (gullable sausages). Can he do his liquid neccessaries in a straight line then or is it off somewhere to the east? So now you know who it is who has been dampening the tour bus! My next question is who has what pierced among the crew... and band if you dare say!

Des has had his arse clit pierced

Sorry can't publish pictures of Abbiss's privates because he is only 12 years old in real life and that would be illegal.

ok, not much to say generally. just thought i'd join in with this msgboard as well.it's nice to see some of the names from the other msgboard on here! good stuff. isn't it annoying how the other msgboard has had annoying ppl recently?! bring back the good old days! anyone see Kelis do a cover of 'smells like teen spirit' on the Glasto coverage? it was groovy!hmm, these secret gigs, eh?! a bit hard to get to, especially the scotland 'un, i live next to Portsmouth for crying oot loud! ok, that's my bit of banter over.

Where abouts near Portsmouth?

the next town; 'Gosport'.could it be? another Dry Kid who lives near P'mouth?!

Hope you'll update the diary section soon.Love to know what you lot think of the recent Germany gigs.By the way, your website's just great !Karin

What can I say .. you guys tell the truth ..I loved to read, what you thought about Halle and Stuttgart... I also have a question, mostly to Gordon: What happend to that Vox amp (it was a AC 30 right? ) you were using earlier this year in Munich? Is it killed? I was wondering since I saw the two Marshalls but forgot to ask. It sound good with the 355 too, btw. And is the new one an original model ?

Hi Karin, Gordon probably hasn't seen your question so I'll try to answer it on his behalf. Rick's guitar rig has been in a constant state of change recently. The AC30's have always proved exceptionally unreliable and are now pretty much relegated to being backups in case the Marshall Bluesbreaker breaks. We hired a Matchless DC30 for some shows which was truly superb but apparently they've gone out of business so we're looking for a secondhand one to buy.

Love the pictures - how did you get so many sexy guts, woops guys in two boats. Hope you're not working too hard !!Love & kisses Janine xxxxxxx

7 Quid each, with free packet of doritos.Any takers?

um, no thanx Will. (there's only one good will!)

Hello, I am Abbiss's little sister, I do not have a picture of the top of my head to send unfortunately. I feel for the man with thecleavage who features in the Glastonbury pictures. Abbiss has informed me this man iscalled Des. I believe a well supporting brawould be of help dear. Most branches of Marks andSpencers provide a fitting service, but I'dgeuss you're a 38c. Glad to be of support, har har,love Michelle

Hi guys. What a great website, made me laugh. Have a great time in Europe. Lots of love Janine xxxxxx

Jayne, Looks like the boys are working very hard - have you seen the photo's from Konstanz? Such a hard life !!

We have to belive them now - going on tour is just WORK WORK WORK !!!Perhaps a video cam might prove to us what hard work really is?

It IS a hard life!!Milky and I spent the whole day in the hotel room nursing serious hangovers so we missed all the boating fun!!

Glad to hear that you are all going back out to Germany for some more meat that you wouldn't give your dog and cheese that you could bang off a wall without damaging it. What a lovely breakfast that is. Maybe you'll get soup or sausage(nice Frankfurt logo) for breakfast this time which is also quite tempting :). Anyway I'll probably see you all in Halle- My last night in Germany. Whoo-hoo! By the way Dave, what's wrong with your ear in the message heads? No offence, but it looks like the ear of the freak in the Goonies at the minute.

All the better to hear you with Damien!

Just wanted to say hi to you all and thanks for being such nice blokies... bald or otherwise. The pics at Valhalla turned out fine, I got some nice relaxed type shots of most of you. It was nice to see you chilling in the sunshine. I`d send copies but I don`t have a safe address to send them to. Thanks also to Gary for sorting things out for me at the second tower gig... big hug for ya! Infact big hugs for you all!! If there is a vacancy, I am currently available for the possition of band PA/photographer should you need a female who`s up for a laugh, to iron your shirts, send flowers to your mum, fetch taxi`s, buy more super 8 in less than 20 mins, find Danny after he`s wandered off to buy some chips, fetch the Big Mac`s and/or make sure you find your bunk safely after you`ve taken too many hallucinogenics and gone chasing after the moon! Job offers to the above email address.Love to all. Wendy (Photographer from Blackpool)

I'm ALWAYS in need of a female who's up for a laugh!!

Easy Tiger!

heya Wendy! how's the compaany coming along? e-mail me!

Love the little pictures guys, quality stuff, but is it really wise to give out yer emails in public with Will around?!!? Anyway I've a pressing question to ask. Whos hair is best - Gordon's or Gary's?

Feel pretty safe about giving e mail addresses with Des on our side. You've seen the pictures! As for haircuts, difficult to rate gary's as he changes it every week but Gordons always a favourite!

Have to say I would not mess with Gary's buzzcut as sported in Wolverhampton.

by the way what does FOH stand for?

Front Of House.... or the bit where the audience stands in front of the stage.

yeah this site is mad, nice idea, um but what about those dodgy passport photos he he he! nice one.
