If I remember well, in the toutbook of the Dream Tour in 2000, in the equipment of Simon there was a bicycle ...

And during one show that year I remember having seen a picture of his bike on his amp ... British humour ?  :-D

the ultimate proof why these "cool lists" that silly kiddy music papers like NME use to make every year: because simon should win the title every year (or at least be in the top three), if those lists were supposed to be anyhow reliable. blaah.

anyway anyone ever made a list of all the "collected occasions" when simon didn't have the flag with him? ;)

yes you remember correctly: orange sub five mountain bike, to be precise.
i always wondered why he had a bike listed there (maybe it was some kind of a sponsor deal or something :P)
then again, he also lists a "chocolate labrador" - anyone ever saw a dog on stage?  :-D

Does anyone have a good closeup of the pictures on Simon's amp?  This pic is actually the best I've seen (thanks for posting it!).

That is not Eden in the picture.  He does not have Eden or Lily's pictures posted.  The kids are his daughter Evie and his son Issy--short for Ismay (?! :smth017) (dunno if that's right or not, but Lily has mentioned the Issy name).  Also, I can't honestly say if Issy is a boy cos I dunno--might be a girl.
