   hi there again, i wrote in the previous ask olga session, about 
          the studion one tv gig that you couldn't recollect? as i am looking 
          at it it was teddy on drums and dean on bass, the song line up was 1. Glenda and the Test Tube Baby
 2. Spiders in the Dressing Room
 3. 007 James Bond
 4. Nellie the Elephant
 5. Teddy Bear
 6. Have Some Fun Tonight
 7. When the Saints Go Marching In
 8. She Goes to Finos
 looked like a canny gig, would love to kno if you did any other tv gigs 
          in the 80's(post85),
 i have this on disc, if theres an address i could send it to i could 
          post it so you could pop it onto the site? cheers
 andy
  Aha! 
          Andy, Now I think I know it, it wasn't an actual gig, just a TV show, 
          we sucked, I remember now! I think it was in the North East of UK, maybe 
          near Carlisle? Thanks for the offer of the disc, but its one o those gigs I wanna forget!
 We did quite a few TV things in the 80s throughout the world, I don't 
          have a list of all of them, but we have included a Swiss TV show on 
          the updates!
 Cheers
 Olga
   Olga, I read somewhere that 
          you don’t care for “A Far Out Disk”. That is surprising, 
          because, it is my favorite Toy Dolls CD.  Is it still available?  
          I’ve lost mine & I can’t seem to find it anywhere.  
          I’m happy to pay for it. Thanks for 20+ years of nuclear nursery rhymes for the not quite grown 
          up.
 Regards,
 Tom
  Hi 
          Tom That's right, I don't like A far Out disc much at all! I think it's 
          available on CAPTAIN Oi still, though I wouldn't buy it!
 Cheers!

   Hi Olga, I'm Freddy From Tuscany, Italy. I totally agree with the guy who asked you to play live "I'm a 
          lonely bastard", It's a great song...but in my own opinion one 
          of yours best is "the psychosurgery"! I don't know what you 
          think bout it but let me say that this song rocks!! have you ever played 
          it live? I hope you're going to come to play in italy during the next 
          year!! see ya!
  Hey 
          Freddy! Thank you!
 I am not keen on Pyschosurgery myself! And we haven't played it live 
          yet!
 Fingers crossed for something in Italy in 2009!
 Take care
 Olga
 
 
  herrow olga, you're not too keen on chenky?!  well you wrote 
          it so i know what that's like to not be too keen on one's own work.  but 
          here's a burning question for you.  do you not realize you sound 
          like a badass guitar riff god when you play the chorus from 
          poh-oh-oh-uff into the whistling?  whoever did the whistling sounds 
          like the most charming, eyeball-rolling asshole there ever was.  
          yes sir. also, the bass+vox at the beginning of cheatin' chick from china is 
          BRIIILLIANT.. [killer chord changes and solo in there, 
          too] really, so fucking good i cannot explain.  another two 
          i love are razzmatazz intro and olga crack corn.  razzmatazz 
          is just so killer.  it's a minute long verse/chorus number 
          with such awesome-ness and energy packed into it.  i 
          need to start finding functional adjectives other than awesome, killer and 
          badass [and sexy?].  the japanese version of geordie is amazing 
          too, in fact, the reverb made the vocals even more wicked... goodness, 
          who mixed absurd-ditties?  all the vocals/guitars/drums sound so 
          warm and dry and wholesome.. the key change in my wife's 
          a psychopath is done in the solo?  brilliant.  and the way 
          you sing telly addict... jeez.   also, i really like 
          how the snare and guitar sound in nellie [but of course it's also how 
          they're played].
 there's much more.  but i can only think of these for now.  
          there are just all these things i find when i listen to these songs 
          that just blow me away.  far far away.  but i'm dancing while 
          all that is happening.
 seriously, you are so much of an awesome badass wicked killer [sexy?] genius 
          that, ugh, i don't know.  so i guess summing up all the questions 
          into one is, marry me?
 ps:  i'd really like to see toy dolls live, too.  any california 
          shows?  really really look forward to the new album.
 
 
  Hey! 
          Cheers for all that! No, I am not keen on Chenky! The whistling was 
          done by mates from Angelic Upstarts, Crashed Out, loaded 44 etc.. Great lads.
 I agree about Absurd Ditties, dunno how it turned out so nice, It was 
          mixed by John Spence in 1993.
 No California shows planned just yet, we love I it there and always 
          have a wicked time, busy working on the next album now!
 Will ponder on your proposal!
 Cheers again
 Olga

   I saw you at the Åndalsnes-gig in Norway in 2006! And, you 
          signed my "Cheerio Toodle-Pip" vinylsingle! That was great! I was thinking, if you came to Norway again, could my band do the supportjob?
 Let me hear from you!
 Marius Danielsen
  Hi 
          Marius, I remember that tour, really enjoyed it, it was Duncans first gigs with 
          us!
 Will bear you you mind for support for sure.
 Keep rockin!
 Olga
   Hello, I have a vhs tape recorded from back in the 80's with you 
          guys playing in studio 1 in london. It was broadcast I think 1985 or 
          so. I can't find any info on the gig on your site nor the internet. 
          It's you, Teddy and Dean so it has to be from around 1985-86. I would 
          love to have an exact date. Any ideas? Best Pete//  Peter 
          Hello I think I answered this question above, check it out!
 Sorry I don't have an exact date, but 85/86 for sure, that was the period 
          Teddy and Dean played together.
 Cheers
 Olga
  Hey Olga- Thanks for answering my first email. This is Suzy Hotrod again, from 
          NYC's own Gotham Girls Roller Derby. I bet you've been dying to know 
          that Queens of Pain was victorious in our Championship bout. Here's 
          a photo of the proud team with the trophy. Thanks for providing the 
          theme song for the night! Our all star travel team is made up of girls 
          from our 4 home teams. And we skate against other cities. We just participated 
          in the Womens Flat Track Derby Association's National Tournament in 
          Portland, Oregon over the weekend, and we won the entire thing! WE'RE  
          OFFICIALLY THE #1 TEAM IN THE COUNTRY! (I'd like to think that us watching 
          Toy Dolls videos on YouTube at the hotel the night before our last game 
          had a little something to do our victory?) If it didn't, it still made 
          for a good time, cause my teammate Ana Bollocks has asthma and I believe 
          is taking your tune as her unofficial theme song.
 love! -suzy hotrod
 
 
  Suzy 
          Hey! Another great pic, thank you!
 And CONGRATULATIONS!
 Greetings to Ana, I know how it is with Asthma, had since I was a teenager.
 Keep up the great work!

  Hello, Olga! As it's the most wonderful time of the year (so they say), I am listening 
          to my huge collection of obscure christmas songs and I'm missing a Toy 
          Dolls tribute to this. I own a CD of a (japanese?) band called "Nicotine" 
          who do their best at sounding like the real thing, but they just don't 
          have the style (and virtuosity).
 So, my question is: Did you ever thought about doing a festive album 
          "Toy Dolls-style" (with  a couple of "new" 
          christmas songs along with cover-versions) or is this just too far out 
          for you???
 Greetings from Germany,
 Chri
  Chri 
          Hi I have thought about it to be honest, and we may well do it in the future! 
          Nice idea
 See ya back in Germany!
 Olga
   I can clearly remember my brother coming home one day in the eighties 
          with the "Dig that Groove " album. Although I was young (about 
          11 or so) the happiness and grooviness was so apparent on that album 
          that, eventhough I couldn't understand a word (I'm from the Netherlands 
          you see), it directely send a smile on my face. I was rather pleased 
          to hear you guys are still alive and kicking. By the way Olga, I'm a 
          guitar player myself (not punk though, if you really want, but 
          don't bother, you can check it on www.pebbles.nu ) but have to say you're 
          the best guitar player punk ever has seen! So there you have it, not 
          even a question, saves you the trouble answering. Maybe see you in Schijndel 
          next year! remember to dig that groove!
 Micha
  Micha 
          Hey THANK YOU!

 Cheers for your comments! I wish I was the best player! Check out Del 
          from the Test Tube Babies and Lee from Crashed Out!
 Hope to see ya in Schijndel!
 Olga
