Although Ratbat gives his greetings.

Nice, you want me to pass a message onto Blaster at all?
Gee.... I don't know about the rest of you guys, but lately the only things that truly motivate me are erections and bowel movements.

Thank the Police coming straight from the underground...

Yeah, tell him I bought a fucking mint t-shirt of him in HMV the other day. £10, and it's the best t-shirt ever.

Not much promoting i can do.

It’s clearly a matter of promoters booking the wrong bands. For if they doth book thee Battlewitch then millions of Heavy Metal crazies would seep from there hiding places and rejoice at chosen venue. I clearly need some sleep.
