While Alan and Martin eat their vegetarian meal, Andy spots an opportunity to avenge the previous evening, when they were making fun of his make-up problems. He grabs a flying crane fly, holds it by one leg and asks provocatively: “What do you reckon, how many legs can I tear from it so that it can still fly?” Martins facial expression becomes immediately sinister, Alan momentarily lets go of his spoon. © Musikexpress (Germany) (11/1984)
Then there was once almost a brawl between Andy and me! Andy caught while eating a fly and asked provocatively whether the fly could probably still fly without a wing. I felt that Andy was being mean, because he wanted to simply make fun of my vegetarianism. But we got along again quickly. © Martin Gore, Poprocky (Germany), 01/1985 (Translation by Angelinda; thanks to strange-pimpf for sending photos of this article for dmtvarchives.com!)

Who is your best buddy in the band?
Martin: As it known, Fletch. Many people think he’s a bit of a sleepy, boring bookworm or something like that. This is wrong, he is a fascinating guy filles with ideas. He has the strongest personality in the band. Without him, we would all have quarreled hopelessly by now.
In the early days he worked besides school also as a truck driver, so we could buy instruments. With Andy you can really talk about anything. © Bravo (Germany), 24/05/1984 (Translation by Angelinda; thanks to Milik for offering to send in this scan)
