My Daddy or Chips? Facebook Page finally hit the magic 200 fans*. 200 is a great number and (apart from the emotional blackmail that snared friends and family), it's a group which has grown entirely organically since Lakegan first suggested that I create a space on Facebook for the mixes . I don't recommend that anyone buy Facebook 'likes' or Twitter followers. Apart from violating the Terms & Conditions of these services, these fake followers add nothing to your community /business.

I think the director wanted to make a short film about a transgendered person in a women's Roller Derby which just happened to be the length of the Pet Shop Boys new single. It's a good short film, but not a very good Pet Shop Boys video. sorry but i don't see how some people get jobs.
