*Bean's Phone Engaged*
BN leader Ceb is today reeling in shock after finding the Bean's phone engaged ealier this morning.

The shocking incident occured at 11am as Ceb sought to contact Bean in relation to the upcoming 'Uniquitous' tour. Reports are sketchy but it is believed that Ceb has decided to cancel the entire tour on foot of this debilitating embarassment.

Bean has always operated on the periphary of acceptable behaviour within the BN, often eschewing live appearances in favour of jazz related bollocks. This latest fiasco has seen Bean's place in the Power 25 put in jeopardy with the latest rankings due out on Friday.

Bean is one of the five members of the second BN line-up, a group which achieved international success with the 1999 EP 'We Walk the Line'. This was followed with The Bean's first solo album, 'I stand in the queue' which amazingly sold over 6 copies. Ceb is unavailable for comment but all images of The Bean have been taken down from his official website.
