Good point. So - Joan Armatrading. Minnie Ripperton (did she write 'Lovin' You'?) Janis Ian All in my LP collection! Corrine Bailey Rae, not, but I like her. And let's big it up for that quiet shy type who nevertheless wrote a few great songs - Courtney Love.

On the gramaphone.

Wot They Said. Pahhhhh! When will these researchers know to think twice before advertising for people/subjects/carwrecks on THIS forum!

Brendan - so weird a coincidence Miles Hunt is playing as we speak. Oh, the topic: Spangles.

BANG! "Cheers"!

Yes I have most of Joe Jackson's albums. Classics of their time. Interesting anecdote there HB! And we have not had the wonderful lads from fIREHOSE ex Minutemen, yet, with the lyrics "I am aware there are definite errors in my thinking. Example? Knowing I can't know." And of course the whackily beautiful David Byrne "This is not my beautiful wife!"

Welcome Dulwich Fox and your post is as someone above said clever, because the replies it provoked shows who does what and so on. Ignore those that piss you off (which is obvious really, as to whom to ignore from above!) and enjoy the company of those wits and nice helpful people who otherwise populate this great forum!

And then you post said photos and we see someone who we think looks like the villain and go for him. I think that's why we have a police service. So we don't make mistakes.....

Happy to hear this but if you had breathing problems how on earth did you get yourself to SelDoc? And where is it?

Thanks for that HonaloochieB! I had very troubled times in my twenties and only one man, and one man alone helped me through them. Then he married some tall beautiful model and his writing went downhill fast. But when he was single and active, as it were, I just loved Billy Joel. Well, okay still do. And also our very own Joe Jackson had many fine lyrical moments (Is she really going out with him, Everything gives you cancer, Slow Song, etc) but he's now gone weird and moved to New York; just trying to find out what kinda cancer he's gonna get, sticking all those big fat cigars in his face!

I also agree with Neil Finn. But I would also go for Andy Partridge "I really get confused on who could make all this in a day Everyone says join our religion get to heavennnn I say no thanks why bless my soul I'm already here!" And Grace Slick just for White Rabbit "One pill makes you larger and another makes you small...." But all the boys in 10cc will get my vote too. For everything they did except Dreadlock Holiday which I hated!

The End of Mr Y by Scarlett someone. You can borrow my copy if you like. A clever piece about a PhD student who comes across a secret to do with her ex profressor and goes back in time via some weird concoction and solves a mystery and it's brilliant and I started reading it again as soon as I finished! I am also following this thread for ideas. I have a week in France coming up with no internet connection and probably not even vodafone either. The book needs to be fabulous...!

I think the bar code one is good. I like that idea, I do.

Ohhhhh don't make me repeat the joke again! Noooooooooooooooooooooooo MrPR has supercalifragilisticexpialidocious tattood on his willy. Still all there.

Seconded. ie. "Jobs offered" section.

Some may see it as naff but I have the most beautifully designed big tarantula tattoo'd on my back. Life size, proper colourful and with shadows. Grown men have fainted when they see it. Well, whatever it takes.... Then I have a Happy Human logo on my upper arm! But I do get your points and there are some very cheap and nasty tats around.

Or indeed Walking on the Beaches, Lookin' at the Peaches But !

Two of my favourite XTC summer songs. Brilliant video. (Fave line, "The way you slap my face just fills me with desire"!) Season's Cycle (No vid. Fave line "Who's pushing the pedals on the season's cycle?) Absolutely delightful! But if I had to vote it would still be Lazy Sunday Afternoon as I posted above!

'Ere we all are, sitting in a rainbow.

Can you sing like Matt Monro tho?

Great point. When I was commuting to Leicester for my MA I would buy coach tickets in advance and they were mighty cheap. MegaBus has great offers, too. But that was before MegasBus started. And cars over a certain age don't require road tax I think. Mine you then they're more expensive to fix? Hybrids mean you don't have to pay congestion charge (which is absolutely ridiculous of course!)

What nickname are you returning as I wonder! You do realise we're more addictive that nicotine (apparently).

That's made my day that HonaloochieB likes me lots! :D And you bought me champagne. Cousin is not one for fibbing. I can only imagine that Mr Stewart had maybe had some bad/sad news, or had just become (or already is) very deaf, or had just seen his credit card bill from his daughter's latest shopping spree on Rodeo Drive, or something, to make him ignore the advances of my cousin.

PM sent, and I have also forwarded the link to my very talented sound recordist and editor friend! Though I suspect they won't be needed for a while, till a script has been developed. I DO hope you will spend time developing the script. It is mighty important. Too many films are made in this country with under-developed scripts, and this makes all the difference. I wish you well!

How far is "quite far"? Get a motorcycle!
