   Well hmmmm There was a question we came up with for Something For The Weekend which wasnt asked (We didn't ask if you were single THAT much!!) What would be your choice of kitchen utensil in a duel? Spatula? Ohh and me and MrsSparkes came up with a whole interview thing for Soccer Six, but changed our minds about it when we actually got to talk to you. Questionssss like... Is there anywhere we can get Macho Man, Wonderful Life and Soul Exchange from? I've got all the other songs that can be found on the internet. (Yes we're that sharp!) Oooh in the song "This Town" what is the lyrics after "It's Ok, It's Alright"? We've tried everything!! Got my beans around this town? Hmmm Trying not to ask anything we've listed to be asked on the other forum. Swear It On You Life lyrics... we think we've nearly decoded it, but the second verse... "She institutionalised me, Her intuition denies me"? Is that anywhere near the right lyrics. Im hoping we've got all the other Complex songs right, I've put them on my website. www.thetricktolife.webs.com OH most important question. The DJing in Southend. It's two days before my 18th Birthday, can you get me in, or will I have to fake ID it? Please say you can sort something out for me!! 2 days!! It would be the most amazing birthday present ever. I hope Martin enjoyed his Birthday presents from thehoosiersfanclub.com we're working on Al's now! We're going to bring it to Sound Island Music Fest, you will see us, we'll be dressed as you lot and make it obvious that its us! Sorry!! Please answer a few of these! It was really sad that none of my millions of questions got answered on the MSN thinggy you did. xxxxx

   Ohh fun.. This is a message i wrote on myspace, in hopes of getting it read but never did.. soo Might as well post it here eh? -------------------------- Dear Hoosiers and sorts, This is my feeble attempt at a "really nice letter" to try and convince you to come to the US. First of all.. You cannot name your band after the Indiana Hoosiers and not come to the States.. It's against the rules, I've checked.. You can too.. Indexed under Cheating Secondly, you can't deprive the states from your epic music! Well... You can.. but you really shouldn't. It's equivalent to depriving tiny, cute, blond-haired-blue-eyed babies from air... Think of all the suffocating babies!!! Tsk, tsk. Thirdly (Irwin Specifically), It's a crime to limit your 1337 guitar skillz (Thats Right! Skillz with a "Z"!) to Europe.. Why not expand your horizons across the Atlantic? or perhaps across the Pacific if you choose to go the opposite way... and Finally.. I just spent a really long time writing this letter just for YOU, when i should have been studying for my final exams.. If i fail then I'll fail my classes and then be held back a year.. I'll accept your apologies in person ;) COME TO THE STATES! <3 The US ------------------ .. Soo.. are you planning on coming to the states?? Btw:: The Gibson Firebird is amazing but it shall never replace my love for the Sparkely blue guitar.. is it custom?

   Yes, I have some questions for you, Hoosiers. =) 1. What... is your name? 2. What... is your quest? 3. What... is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow? (European, of course) Just joking, but you can answer those if you want. Real questions are down here... 1: Is Alp honso thinking of patenting his mustache? Because I think he should. 2: If you could do anything you wanted for FOUR MINUTES, what would you do? 3: What was the craziest thing a fan had you sign? 4 (here's an all-important bonus): WHEN ARE YOU COMING TO THE STATES?! You don't even have to come to the South of the US, even if you go to... Alaska or something, I'd save up enough funds to fly there and see you. Yes... I am that hardcore. :) Love, Sarah PS: really think about that patent, Al

   Can you patent facial hair, surely it would just grow? :-P Found a couple more from the MSN thing Did you intend to have a band with all your surnames beginning with S.. or is it just fate? Sparkes, Sharland, Skarendahl ... Swallow.. Could you talk to some people to get Envy and Other Sins as your support again in October? www.petitiononline.com/hoosenvy 179 people have signed it so far

   Ooh question time, how exciting for me. Well I had quite a few questions lined up, but many of them got answered last friday. These included, Is Irwin Sparkes a real name? To this Sam replied yes, and I said, thats not fair, I want a cool name like that! he he! I also asked if they would ever cover 'every heartbeat' again to which Irwin replied with probably not, we only played it that once. You see, they were my very probing questions so now I have had to knuckle down and come up with some more! ........................................................................................................ - Irwin, as a member of the smaller people of the world myself, I was wondering how you felt about being funsize? Personally I love it, until I have to buy trousers! - Alphonso, I love your moustache, but what compelled you to grow it in the first place? Or are you secretly trying to hide something beneath it? Hmm... - Martin, have you ever been sick in one of your hats? I know those swedish seas can be a bit rough! - Sam, I know you don't want to be a 'proper hoosier' but can I ask where you got those sunglasses from that you wore at capitalive? They are awesome! - All Hoosiers, can you sing happy birthday to me on the 25th october at Brighton Centre. Its my 18th, I will bring the cake if you bring the songs! he he! .......................................................................................................... Okay so there we have it, some questions of great fascination.

    OHHH, YAY!!! ^Note the enthusiasm! :D Question timeee! (The WHOLE band can answer these, not just one, or two..) ~What size shoes are you all? ~Would you give me ONE of your shoes, like i give you a shoe, you give me a shoe. Fabby dabby idea, oui? (my feet are size 7) ~Will you join me on doing the chicken dance whilst singing that weird song by Rod Stewart? ~Will you also join Betty, Shakespeare, John, Bobby G and me in the invisable hut under the willow tree (which turns ORANGE in autumn/winter) for a tea party? ~And in the words of the match.com advert, "If you could change your name to a laaaadddiees name, what would you change your name to?" 'Cause I think that is an awesome question, awesomer than awesome itself, tadaaa! Last one (mainly applies to Sparkes); ~Does it ever REALLY annoy you (or freak you out) when people(fans) ask you to marry them? 'Cause if people/fans said that to me I'd probably whack 'em 'round the face. It makes me want to hit them (virtually) when they say that they, "lurve" you and "wanna marry" you, or if they actually ask you to marry them. So RAWR! By the way, I'm not a violent person, honest. :) Uh, I think that is all for now. I love you long time merry band of hoosiers. :) ~Chrystal. xxx

    The first questions that came off the top of my head: If you had a packet of Rolos, who would you give your last one to? If you were the rulers of the world for one day, what would you do? What's the strangest thing that has happened to you since you've become famous?

    haha, possibly xxwanting (AKA Ryann)! Sounds a lot closer then got my beans around this town doesnt it! Me and Mrs Sparkes (You know you know who we are..!) want to know whether you'll be planning on re recording any of the old Complex songs, seeing as you did for Everything Goes Dark (Gotta love the original lyrics for that though! Too busy welcoming our friends to learn how to handle compliments (right?!?)) Looking forward to our surprises for you at Sound Island Fest? If we don't get front row, please get them to let us though! We've spent so long on our outfits, I hope you'll enjoy them! Mrs Sparkes will be Sam Zoe will be Super Sparkes I'm going to be Martin and Mary will be Al. And the paint is going... interestingly for the other surprise! Whats the best/weirdest/nicest thing a fan has ever given/made you? Yep that a few questions disguised as one. What would you dress up as if you were a going to one of your gigs?

    yeah, i always thought that "rules" sounded closer to a complex song than a hoosier song. but gotta love the brass arrangement though!

    do you have any hidden talents? and can any member of the band solve a rubik's cube? are there any plans to make a sheet music book for the trick to life? ideally a piano vocal guitar book as i'd love to be able to play all of the album songs :) thanks ;) xx
