Anyone who spells "no one" as "noone" should be soundly thrashed in public until they learn to spell it properly. It's two words, not one you fucking simpletons.

Best song ever.
35 years ago in November 1990, PSB released “Being boring” as the 2nd single from their 4th studio album, “Behaviour”. The song was inspired by a party invitation from Neil’s Newcastle days which quoted Zelda Fitzgerald’s line “She was never bored, mainly because she was never boring”.
