Tue, 01 Jul 2008 10:03:00 GMT

I love Biffy Clyro! I can’t decide if it started when I bought ‘57’ after hearing it on Steve Lamacq’s show, or if it was when I heard that they were named after a Cliff Richard biro pen (a Cliffy Biro), either way, it has led to many things including friends, less money, and many outings.
