Well ive heard dave gilmour being interviewed about rogers lyrics on the wall, and my recurring thought was, " what a stuck up pratt he sounded", pronouncing his Ps and Qs with meticulous accuracy, ive heard the bugger talk a little more like dave really talks at other times but jesus, he sure knows how to use the obscene words well enough !

I really don't like Pink Floyd much as people, they kind of fit that extreme middle class sterytotype so atleast they never denied ho they were rather than all those bands that try to deny a middle class heritage

Dave Gilmour = Posh Floyd (listen to him speak)
Nick Mason = Sporty Floyd (cars n stuff)
Rick Wright = Baby Floyd (well he is fairly softly spoken)
Roger Waters = Scarey Floyd (CWTAE, say no more!)
Syd Barrett = Did he ever dye anything ginger????

In the early days perhaps. I would describe them as 'toffs'

I know he had a clan of gingerbread men.

Also, I think the cat in Lucifer Sam was called Ginger.

Well there you go, thanks to Decampos making the ginger connection I think we can safely say that Pink Floyd were the original Spice Girls, now if only their music had been half as good (the Spice Girls that is).

That's genius...!!
:lol:
It's the 'Space Boys'...!!

Well, they weren't low class, I mean....wasn't Rick from a 'good' family of sorts...?
And Dave had a nanny! OK, I dunno how that works in England, but here, having a nanny means you're doing well enough...

:D Brilliant!! I think we may have found another synch!!! Heres how it works. Set Floyds career up at the beginning and then load up the Spice Girls career but dont start it until 20 minutes into Floyds 3rd gig, you should then see lots of strange coincidences start to happen :D

They definitely come across as very pompous and snobbish... and I would of had to slap Nick Mason for asking for apple pie with NO CRUST. On that note though, i find it hard to label them pricks.
