Pete S Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 I'd never seen a picture of them before and that's the only reason I'm posting this up...

ALAN Are you sure? Why would they put two totally unconnected gentlemen on the cover? Were the real Derek & Ray victims of a cruel medical experiment?

Pete S Posted June 26, 2008 Author Posted June 26, 2008 Not sure if this has been posted before... Are Derek & Ray in the group?
Pete S Posted June 26, 2008 Author Posted June 26, 2008 Give me Derek & Clive anytime Ah you say that, but if you listen to Derek & Clive now I don't think you'll find them funny, they were hilarious back then, but now? Anyone can swear.
