And New Order fans the world over shout a collective noooooooo at the news of their split.

British rock band New Order, which arose from the ashes of post-punk band Joy Division in the early 1980s, has broken up, according to a Web posting by the group's bass player.

"I'm relieved really hated carryin on as normal with an awful secret so lets move on shall we?" Peter Hook wrote in a blog published on Wednesday on his MySpace page.

Hook first revealed the split as an aside during an interview last weekend with Manchester radio announcer Clint Boon, when he said, "... me and Bernard (Sumner, New Order singer/guitarist) aren't working together."

That sound you hear is me shouting noooooooo.

Jake said:

Ohh, pick me, me, I know this one. Dodgy barnet in Brit speak means a craptacular haircut. I think the barnet bit has something to do with combs. Or something. Mr Spencer? What say you sir?

Jase said:

Spot on Jake, however It is actually from Cockney rhyming slang:

Barnet Fair = Hair

Who would have though we speak the same lingo?!!?
