He doesn't look like one, granted - but if 'Ian Watkins' isn't a kiddly diddler's name, then I don't know what is.

I suppose at the very least, we should be grateful that they won't be making any more records.

Clearly you've not met H from Steps, otherwise you wouldn't be saying such rubbish.

It is, isn't it? "Ian" and "Watkins" are fine individually, but put them together and it's diddling time.

Yep, I can picture this 'Ian Watkins': all ugly, shifty and inadequate, greasy black hair, glasses, anorak, binoculars round his neck, lives with his Mum, etc.  Your textbook Daily Mail paedo.  This Lostprophets chap looks like most of the blokes I see wandering around in Reading Festival footage. They can't all be nonces, surely?

Regarding Ian 'H' Watkins, 'H' stands for 'Hard-On For The Young 'uns'.

My wife, who's German, is beginning to think that every single British male is a paedo-nonce.

Commiserations. Get a good lawyer.

Apparently someone else has been arrested in the Savile retro-diddling case too.

I really hope my name doesn't sound like a nonces.

Well I think that every German eats smelly sausages and likes men called Otto to poo on their heads, so ner ner ner.

Who the what now?

I have heard the band name, but I have no clue what their songs are. Are there any clues in the lyrics that might hint towards his perversion?

Kane Jones

He wrote a song called 'For He's A Jolly Good Felon'. Autobiographical?

Also, Five Is A Four Letter Word.  Five could refer to someone's age and the four letter word could be 'sexy'.

So that'll be the singer Ian & the keyboardist Jamie Oliver[nb]he's a 'painter': http://www.walesonline.co.uk/showbiz-and-lifestyle/showbiz/2012/06/25/lostprophets-jamie-oliver-on-his-thrill-at-being-shortlisted-for-the-welsh-artist-of-the-year-award-91466-31251289/[/nb] now infamous for their touching up skills away from the band.

Well at least Jamie Oliver has a potential career as a TV chef mediocre artist should all this Ian Watkins-related gubbins destroy the band (which it inevitably will).

Jemble Fred

All my insanely young Facebook friends are upset, as this was the band 'they liked when they were little'. No wonder most people have reacted to this news with a shrug.

Jemble Fred

Well, 10 years younger than me qualifies as 'insanely young' in my book. That still means they're several years over the legal jailbait marker.

Oh yeah, and I've not shagged any of them.

Well, it killed The Automatic[nb]not that they were threatening any form of long lasting legacy[/nb] & it wasn't even a member who was convicted, it was their manager. Can't imagine Lp will exist beyond this if he is proven guilty.

I think getting rid of the shouting fun/annoying one & trying to be a serious band was the end of The Automatic. Having a pedlo Ron Jeremy looking manager didn't help either though.

re: Ian Watkins, an hour or so into the news hitting the net & I've already seen lots of diehard Lp fans bemoaning this as a 'witch hunt too far' resulting from the current climate of retro-paranoia arrests, which kinda translates into "if it wasn't for that pesky Saville this kid would have gotten away with it...".

Neville Chamberlain

It's all right - he was the least talented in the band anyway!

They had a good drummer for a bit but he went off to go and be in the Nine Inch Nails. I thought Lostprophets' first album was fun, then after that they decided that they were American even though they're from Pontypridd and starting sounding more and more like Hoobastank or something. Gave them the benefit of the doubt for the second album but the third was absolutely risible (had that dreadful Rooftops song on it) and I totally lost interest. And now it turns out the main guy out of it is a nu-metal version of Savile, which is almost as upsetting as that dire third album.

My housemate at uni was a big fan. I spent a night sat in an adjacent bar to the venue once waiting them to finish their set, so awful were they and so misjudged my attendance. Just texted him to find out if he's planning to burn their albums. Not because the singer's a paedo, just because they're fucking shit.

I'm going to put my foot through their albums, and send Watkins the bill!
