Hello Olga!! I have just learned of Sunderland FC promotion to Premiership. I would like to congratulate you and all the Sunderland fans, because the club did so well this season, and I wish the next season in the Premiership will be even greater than this. The team is excellent and really strong. I bet they will cause troubles to the big names! What do you think of Roy Keane, do you think his guidance played a decisive role in the promotion? And yet another question, who would you like to see joining the club in the summer before the Premiership?
Congratulations again and have a really nice day!!! Ronnie from Israel.

Hi Ronnie Cheers, though I havent been to Sunderland for years! so I am not really up on whats happening! all sounds good though!
Olga

Hay Olga, please don't forget good old Germany on your tour 2007 see you, Martin

Hi Martin I know theres a German show on 1st September 2007! hope to see ya there!

Hi Steve, Durham eh! its been a while! look forward to it!
Olga

Hey Olga - thanks for replying to my question on the Glenda guitar lesson. You covered the intro and chorus in a lesson but not the solo. It'd be great if you could! How do you get your hand to move that fast? I've no chance of playing it at full speed!! I've ordered my ticket for the Leeds gig in September last night. Can't wait - it's gonna be great!! Phil.

Cheers Phil! hope you have received the Cockpit ticket now? Best off learning things perfectly first, then gradually build up the speed, you will get it!
Take care
Olga

Hi there !! It has been about ten years I last saw you guys in Holland , so I'm looking forward to it.

See you soon !!! Jeroen Geisterfer

Hello Olga I am VICTOR of ARGENTINA I was in the concerts that played here in my country. I was amazing, would like that that is repeated. But now I want to ask some things: 1) to that band belongs the song to that sings K«Cee (I CAN SEE YOU) in the video of Japan? 2) Because live they do not touch to songs like MELANCHOLY MARGARET or I'M A TELLY ADDICT or others of absurd ditties? 3) in the guitar classes. you could teach to WHEN YOU'RE JIMMY SAVILLE? 4) you would say to me happy birthday to you? (since today it is my birthday) Thanks to make me feel many pretty moments with your music! (sorry my english) VICTOR

Victor Hey! Thank you for that! 2 old friends of mine wrote I CAN SEE YOU. We did play telly addict many times on tour actually, sorry you missed it! Jimmy Saville, good idea, I will have to learn it again myself! Hey Victor, Happy Birthday!

Hello Olga, are you ok! Last year, we saw the show in Sao Paulo/Brazil, on the Hangar 10, and was very good. Me and my friends have one doubt. We saw that during the show, you always caught one especie of tablet, bullet and was eating/chewing. sing. Afterl, what was that? Best regards!

Thank you! Actually its just sugar-free gum, a bit a boring eh!?

Hey, you have a good memory! I wish I knew when we were coming back to Poland, we really had a wicked time there, we will be back!! please wait!
Olga

Hi Olga, it's about 20 years I continue listening to your songs and "David's XR2" is still the best one ever. Here's the 1st question: I took many pics of you (some with you) in Italy (november 2004) during a live show in Milan. Now I'm taking a look at your new pics (2007) and you seem younger!!! how comes? what's your secret? Here's the 2nd: I wonder why you haven't written any song about fishes, I think you can make a great tongue twister with this topic, something like "werefishes fishers" :) cheers, Danut

Danut Hey Thank you, glad you like Davids XR2! Of course I am looking younger! tell me something new! ha! thank you for that! Will think about the fishes theme, cheers.
Olga

Dear Olga! My Girlfriend has been busting my nuts for ages now to write you an email. She won't stop yacking about your bloody band and how much she'd like to see you guys live again. So please (I'm begging you), make your way to switzerland or austria as soon as possible. My life is in your hands. I don't know what'll happen to me if she doesn't see you guys soon. Please!!!!!!!! Sencirely yours, desperate hopeless boyfriend

Hey, we are obviously sex symbols, thats why ya girlfiend wont stop yacking about us, something we have to live with! We will be back in Switzerland AND Austria again, dont worry!
take care
Olga

Hey Olga, I'm very, very, sorry. The Toy dolls were one of those bands that just seemed to have passed me by. I'm an old school Ramones punk (I'm 47 now and was there from the start). I took the American punk route, Ramones, Screeching Weasel, Queers, Groovie Ghoulies (R.I.P) etc.as opposed to the British way of thinking. However, I've just bought 'The Toy Dolls' Our last DVD. and it's fuckin' brilliant. I realise now that I've missed out and it's all my fault. Oh well, c'est la vie. Tony X

Tony Hi, Dont worry, you are not the only person that we have passed by!!Glad you have eventually caught up with us though! cheers!
Olga

Hey Olga! I live in Wisconsin in the Milwaukee area. Any chance of a Toy Dolls show here? Also What was the insporation for the song "Telly Addict?" Thanks much, Bill

Hi Bill, we will get there eventually! I really was a telly (television) addict, around 1992, easy song to write, just copied down what was in me head!
Cheers
Olga

Hi Olga ! I'm Florian from France. I've read that you will do a big Euro Tour so, when will this tour begin ? And I hope there will be a lot of dates in France :D

Hi there Florian, not sure where you read about a big tour in Euro, that was 2004/5, but we will there will be a big Euro tour when the next album is written and recorded, in a year or two. meantime, we are playin France on June 16th! pls check the tour dates!
Cheers
Olga

Cheers
Olga

Hi espen, how are you. Stavager is a great place, thank you. Cant remeber getting any pics from the show. we will be touring in that area again for sure, maybe a copule of years from now.
Take care

Hello there Let's skip the 'I'm a big fan and got all the albums' part and just move on to the question right. Saves you a whole lotta reading and me a whole lotta typing and everybody's happy. How nice. So here goes: I once lend my absurd-ditties album to a friend and some time later that friend moved to the other side of the world taking my bloody cd with him (the schmuck!). I've bought all the tracks via iTunes by now so no worry that is I bought all the tracks except Drooling banjos cause I couldn't find it on itunes. In fact, can't find it anywhere. True, I live in an underdeveloped part of the world (Belgium) so maybe that's why absurd-ditties aren't sufficiently appreciated here but still I'd like some drooling banjos. So, how do I bribe you to send me a copy (perhaps an mp3) of drooling banjos? How about it? It's for a just cause! (you see, I'd like to call myself just. Well, not just just but, say just out of bed or just peeing against the church wall, so what, go and do your funeral somewhere else will you. So: if there's any part of the world where I can find a copy of drooling banjos, please let me know! Thanks in advance and everything Bye! Wim

Wim Hi I will put Drooling Banjos up on my MYSPACE sometime for ya! Hope ya can find another copy of Abusrd ditties! Keep checking!
Cheers

Hey Olga, Great to finally see a UK tour coming up! I've been into the Toy Dolls for about five years or so now (give me some credit, you've been around since long before I was born!), so it'll be awesome to see you play. I just booked tickets for Glasgow, and I was wondering, what kinda songs will you be playing? I saw on another answer you'd have 'Spiders In The Dressing Room' and 'We Quit The Cavalry', but will you have classics like 'Firey Jack', 'Dig That Groove, Baby', 'We're Mad', 'Nellie The Elephant'? And some songs off the new album? Also, any idea as to what the opening and closing songs will be? Thanks very much, see you down the front in September! - Andy.

Hi Andy, cheers for buying the tickets! I guess we may throw in Fiery Jack and Dig That Groove! its around a 75 minute set total, so it will cover a lot o years! Hey, I am not gonna tell ya the full set list! twould spoil it for ya! Look forward to seeing ya in Glasgow.
Take care

Anything planned in or around Newcastle gig wise pleeze??? Ruth xxx

Hi Ruth, Yeah, Durham is in , 16th september! I take it ya mean Newcastle UK? hope to see ya there.
take care
olga

Hi Olga, I was wondering how you came up with all the ideas for your songs? like Nellie the Elephant James Bond Lives Down Our Street or Rupert the Bear. Theyre so cool but kinda random. Uh thats it Izzy Sane

Hi Izzy Thank you! I sit in me bedroom for months on end, tryin to think of ideas no special formula unfortunately!
Olga

Hi Olga, I'm Veky, from Split, Croatia, I really can't believe so I wanted to ask you,are you really coming here this year? sorry for taking your time,but you and the bend mean so much to me,I would really like you to come...take care,live long,and make more songs!

Veky Hello! YES, we are coming to Split! cant wait! hope to see you there!
Take care
Olga

Hey there Olga, hope you and all the gang are well,what i would like to know is,how do you play that constant riff on "florence is deaf". Also,you once said many years ago now,that all your songs are childish & infantile,so if you still need ideas for a cover song for the forthcoming new album, you could try these classics which i think can really come through with room for prominent bass lines & great chances for mob vocals.The songs are......"THE THING" by the great Phil Harris, better known as Baloo the Bear & the other is "THE KINGS NEW CLOTHES" from Hans Christian Anderson. Thanks for the last 28 yrs,one of my all time favs is "I TRIED TO TRUST TRACY" Cheers again Olga, Olgacrackcorn...... (Mark)

Hi Mark! Cheers for those ideas, we always need ideas for sure! Not sure if theres gonna be a cover or not just yet, I mean on the next album. You are the very first person to say I tried to trust tracy is one of their favs! thank you!
Olga

Hi my name is Vlada and I am from Serbia and I am also big fan of yours, i play cello in school for musical gifted children and the mensure for cello and guitar arent so difrent so i also play the guitar when i am at my home and i tryed to play few of your songs and I am not so good at it so i wanted to ask you if you can give me a hint because i have very big fingers and I can't play in the higher positions, for example i can't play "One more megabyte" when there is a solo. I thought you might help me so i'm begging you to help me somehow. By the way i also wanted to ask you are you ,i men the Toy Dolls, coming to Serbia again cause you have a lot of fans here waiting to see you live again, sory in if I borred you. All the best from Serbia, Vlada

Hi Vlada, I dont think it matters if you have big or small fingers, I am sure you can find different positions to play things, please experiment! Serbia was fantastic, of course we will be back! hope you can wait for us! We did see a quite a few fans from Serbia in Sofia (Bulgaria) the other week, great to see everyone! see ya all soon!
Take care
