No no don't worry I do not collect stamps.  I've only just noticed today this nice Horslips stamp that someone made.  I was wondering what the chance was to get the .jpg of this.  I'd like to print it and stick it on my Funky Fun bar wall (or maybe is it too small ?) and also I'd like it on MySpace in my Horslips folder ?  Please  HuhShocked  Actually here I would need a lady smiley with mascara which bats its eye lids  Cheesy.  Am collecting such bits and pieces for decoration purposes.

I just looked for the Photoshop source file but I don't seem to have it anymore Cry and I'm not sure if I even did a bigger version anyway, so I'm afraid that's the only version of it there is.

Never mind, thanks for trying anyway..  Taking this opportunity to say hi to everyone, from Ireland.  I think I will write a blog on my return on Myspace about  my trip, which involves lots of pubs and hotels.  Got lots of photos too.

Back when the old Horslips GB was admiring Aidan's stamps and his Horslips feature, I pointed out that Horslips COULD be on a stamp quite quickly. The USPS has partnered with Stamps.com and offers a service whereby people can make their own legitimate postage.

The idea being for weddings, baby announcements, Christmas cards, etc. you might like to have a stamp of your child's artwork or vintage photo or whatnot. But it seems I could use a few stamps for all of my postal correspondence -- "Letters from Home" you could say -- to my Horslips friends.

Seems a natural then, that I would use the cover art from The Man Who Built America. Unless anyone else wants to suggest a theme?

I am giving myself the permission to use the Horslips stamp on my new website which I am building. It's going to be used as a button link to go somewhere... I wonder where, a Horslips page maybe... But what can I possibly write about them when there are so many other places with already everything about them... hmm hmm hmm

So no one mind right ?  I won't get arrested right ?   Shocked

  But Nats...very little has ever been seriously written about the post touring days when they recorded under all the other many guises...and no one has  written a review about Charles new album yet either (I'll have to ring him up and buy it as soon as the missus goes out of earshot range of the phone!though that could take a while as it's usualy selotaped to her midriff like a suicide bombers splatpack)...Then there's all the other buisness enterprises and band  mentorings, and tv production and radio show creation,photographic portfolios to make David Baily look like a happy snapper, books , plays and new uncovered recordings etc etc etc...no ones realy gone into any significant detail and depth about their adventures in the 'wilderness years' between '80 and '99..and there's a mountain of uncovered and untouched gems there that even Lee doesn't know about that would leave many a horsnut frothing at the mouth!

Well funny enough I was thinking about something along the lines, what have they been doing since and possibly about another aspect of their horslips days, non music related, eating habbits etc.. Maybe Childhood days.  As an example, what did they eat to look so skinny while touring, it's like they didn't feed themselves.  I had planned to have a photo of each one of them , then when you hover with the mouse it changes to a picture from today. This is what I was testing on my temporary page. When you hover over the bear, you get a picture of me... oh no, everyone is going to want to have a look now...  Shocked Shocked Shocked

I can approach 2 of them very soon about goodies, if they'll agree to give me something to write about and will ask them maybe about stuff, but the other 3 is more difficult...Well unless one tell on the others...  Tongue

Well tonight that'll be another hour or 2 on CSS styles training... guhh !!!!  And with my laptop broke, I am not going to start my website very soon.  Well am doing the online training at present, to supplement my intensive training I just had in London.  Have been gathering cool effects written by other programmers.
