Not with you Syd! :-) It seems that these rumours have started from that fact that Nick Mason is now reconcilled with Roger Waters and appeared on stage on Rog's last tour. However, Fat Dave and Rog still seem to find an ascerbic word or too every time the other is mentioned, so, as fantastic as it would be, it seems unlikely. Still, pigs might fly over Battersea Power station, eh?
It depends on what you mean by 're-form'. Pink Floyd consists of David Gilmour, Nick Mason, and Richard Wright, with various musicians brought in to assist in the studio or on stage. The line-up has remained static since the acrimonious split with Roger Waters, and a legal tussle over the rights to the band name, which Waters lost. It is unlikely that Roger Waters would wish, and certainly has no need, to join his erstwhile colleagues on stage or on record. The band continues in hibernation, and may or may not reconvene to record and tour again, depending on how they all feel about it. As a major Floyd fan - I've seen them four times with Roger Waters, and three times without, I have to say that his presence, although nice for nostalgia, is far from essential in an artistic sense.

Thanks Waldo, and Andy, I think you might be wrong about Roger. He was "pink". I saw him in Brum this year, and he was excellent. I will have to stick to the tribute bands from now on. Aussie Pink Floyd....Royal Albert Hall....November 1..got my tickets already. Let's see Gilmour & co do "careful with that axe" and "echoes" now!
From What i Heard there apparently going to perform sometime next year in eygpt on some pyramids .. :P
