Shangri-La is a real place! It didn't used to be. (It was made up by James Hilton for his novel Lost Horizon). But now it is!! It's in Tibet and came into being on 17th December 2001 as a result of an enterprising tourist board that realised that hoards of ELO fans would make the trek to this mystical place and bed down for a few nights at the travelodge on the outskirts of town. (some of the above is actually true)

A certain Midlands university has ordered a new window after the one in their main hall was smashed. The new window will be stained glass, and the design has met with universal approval. (No one's quite sure how the old window got broken, but insiders say a slipper made of unusually hard materials was found among its shattered fragments.)

In between tours with ELO, Hugh had a part-time job as a security man.

In the early days the band being so large they couldn't afford a tour coach and so had to queue for the local bus to get too and from gigs. Mik was always first in the line so he could get the back seat of the bus and moon to the following fans out of the rear window.

Jeff gives the management a secret hand signal that two ninjas have been spotted lurking around the photoshoot.

Horacewimp! Of course, as can plainly be seen in the bus queue photo, Mik had an advantage in his rush for the back seat as for a start Jeff and Kelly tended to end up velcro-d together by their Hair which impeded their speed quite a lot.

Horacewimp, Bevey doesn't look too happy about this.

If you add more flange to the backwards stringy flangey bit in Evil Woman it becomes "DE-flanged"

"The Dreamer, The Unwoken Fool" couldn't have been "high on a hill in Eldorado" because Eldorado is flat ..........like Norfolk. The best he could have done would have been a hillock but it doesn't scan so well.

They were also so unused to being "papped" that they never new where the hell to look when there picture was being taken.
