A quick question...

[nwobble]

As a long time fan of HMHB and a passing fan of JD, I would agree 
with this. I think its basically a reference to excessive amounts of 
merchendising. There's even a pait on the cover of the album.

Although these are different to the pair a friend of mine made, which 
make an appearance at most Biscuit gigs.

See photos on the Biscuit forum.
