Hi there Trinsk n Jules!!!
Lovely to see you and know you're both well.
Think this place has been sidelined a little as fans move on from DS to the other places that Pete favours with his own unique take on life.
A combined total of over 23,000 friends, followers, fans and subscribers seek him out on Facebook, Twitter, Myspace and YouTube (where he regularly uploads silly vids of what he's up to) - if you don't already, you should definitely check those out to see how little he's changed...
Still BONKERS after all these years.... haha!
This year has been mostly highs for Pete. However a major low came just before the New Year with the death of Wobbly Bob (from cancer) which absolutely devastated him. Bob was always his best friend - they were like a couple of kids when they got together. Know he misses him tremendously.
Also his beloved Gran died this month and they attended the funeral, in Somerset 2 weeks ago today.
"They" of course, are Pete and Gemma (Cherry). They're still absolutely solid as a couple and enjoying their diverse life and friends in Brighton.
He's still song-writing and heavily involved in music. He uploads demos of his latest stuff to his myspace page.
They always have tons of stuff going on - both are in constant demand for one or another of their creative exploits. Pete appeared at Glasto again this year (playing his accordian onstage!!) as a guest of The Fire Tusk Pain Proof Circus. Gemma designed costume and makeup for them. They had a great time!
I still talk to Pete all the time.
He was on the phone to me less than a week ago - at 3 in the morning
out of his skin with excitement happily shouting and swearing at me at the top of his voice (bet the neighbours were pleased!

) because he'd just found out he had tickets to the World Premiere in London of Disney's "A Christmas Carol". Jim Carrey's in it, and gonna be there too of course, (he's also turning on the Christmas lights!). You know how he feels about Jim - his absolute idol!! He's under no illusion of actually meeting him.... just ecstatic at the prospect of simply sharing the same space as Jim,however briefly, bless.

But who knows? He met Billy Idol and his whole family last year after a series of random events... so it would be just perfect if he was as lucky again!

So that's it in a nutshell - he's fit and well and loving his life!

Just great to see you both and nice to be able to bring you up to date a little.
I keep in close touch with 3 or 4 friends from pp.com - feel free to pm me if you want any more info about Pete.
