The back beat is one of the defining characteristics of rock and/or roll.

[HonaloochieB]

My back is bloody purgatory.

The Germanic Hel is a similarly depicted place to the Greek Hades. This is one of the many pointers that suggest a common proto Indo-European religion.

Cheese and marmite panini's from Starbucks are wicked!

[Brendan]

Starbucks is indeed wicked. Never trust anyone from Seattle. They have a needle there. It?s from space. That?s how the aliens get into their brains.

Stayed in Seattle in '79....I've travelled boy...

Ben, the two of us need look no more

We both found what we were looking for

[HonaloochieB]

I've just seen two police officers on patrol in Brixton. They were holding hands.

Mind they looked very, very young.

Since I was a young boy I've played the silver ball

[Brendan]

Argentina is so named because of its silver mines. I don't know if the Who has ever played there but the Springboks have.

[PeckhamRose]

And Rod Argent of Argent fame ("Hold your head UP") tours with Colin Blunstone ("I don't believe in Miracles").

[Brendan]

Ted Nugent is a bit of a psychonazi.

[Asset]

springboks are a type of antelope

The floor stopping to the riser floor is not load bearing.

Jumping goat.

Brendan, the word on the street is that the fire in your heart is out.

For the soundtrack to the film Back Beat they put together a band consisting of Dave Grohl, the guy from Soul Asylum, the guy from REM and some other guys from some other bands. They recoded a bunch of ?50s rock classics.

I have it on my ipod.

[Moos]

Wasn't that a movie about fire fighters? A modern classic.

[Brendan]

Isn't that the film Wonderwall the soundtrack to which was by George Harrison?

George Harrison was played by Chris O'Neill in Back Beat.

There used to be an O?Neills at Denmark Hill but now it?s a Phoenix which is a fire risk to that old station building if there ever was one.

Apparently some poplet starlet put a fire extinguisher down his trousers once and let it off. Seems it hurts when those chemicals really get to your delicate skin.

[TillieTrotter]

I wish I had a great new neighbour.

[Brendan]

After a particularly alcoholic farewell to a young lady called Flo, my friends Chris, Martin and Mike got arrested for letting off a fire extinguisher in Johannesburg Airport. I had stayed home that day to help my dad fix a car and had to go get them out of the airport holding cells.

Never knew airports had holding cells until then.

Great as in, Alexander the? or great as in, beer and pizza?

[TillieTrotter]

Both would be fine actually Brendan. Alexander the Great with beer and pizza tucked into his toga (type thingy).

Roast dinners always taste better the next day as leftovers. Me mum does a lovely red wine gravy.
