Sorry Daryl... its me whom you dig at I presume. So little time these days...

It has been... lol

Radhi, you are one foxy chic! Marc - how did you get a picture of my old man for your avatar?

'Every Little Bit Hurts' - The Small Faces (or The Clash if one prefers...) 'Connection' - Elastica

I voted for The Smiths. I didn't realise one had a second choice.... oops!

I've gone for The Smiths, as I grew up with those singles... Moby comes a close second though, as I have grown old with his music on adverts...

Well, he is half Scottish... lol

I think Billy is more of a 'man's man' in his writing, but Reg more the performer... If it were a toss-up between the two I'd rather listen to the former and watch the latter....

A friend of mine has just bought a similar fridge. Over here we tend to have smaller appliances so we call it the 'man-fridge'... I've trained Ellie to put stuff in the bin too, trouble is she is not selective about what goes in...

Glad to see you are getting her trained up young, Marc... lol Nice fridge BTW!

Amen Woolfie Smith!

Thanks for the kind words, folks. They are indeed a handful, and usually up to something or other... lol

Johnny, your predeliction for butch ladies in white knickers reminds me of the old joke: What's got six legs, three heads and likes pie? You, me and Martina Navratilova!!! Sorry ladies... ahem...

My little monkeys....

Am I the only person here who thinks we cannot possibly know what went on, and that Sir Paul may in reality be a tw*t behind closed doors? We just don't know, so to hang her like this before the case goes to court does seem a little unjust... Lets face it, she isn't going to get a fair hearing in the press or from people of a certain age who remember Sir Paul as a cheeky, likeable lad with a muppet's haircut and a tune... But just because he has this public image, persona and a few quid shouldn't prevent her from getting a fair hearing. If it does, then this is a licence for the rich, likeable and famous to abuse women, surely... Just a thought from my feminine side... lol

Of course, he may actually be a tw*t... Nobody really knows what goes on behind closed doors in any marriage. What I don't understand however is why/how the details were leaked, because nothing is ever leaked unless an ulteriour motive exists. Perhaps it was leaked by him as a damage limitation exercise as an 'innoculation' against further revelations?

"Candy Says" - Velvet Underground - ever lived in a house full of women!!!

Try the intro to 'Alternative Ulster' by Stiff Little Fingers for a few evocative, clashing chords (for me at least...).

It was sampled on 'Hits From the Bong' by I can't remember who too...

I bought a 6 cd compilation of ebay for £3 recently called The Sh*t Factory, and I play a song each morning to the kids in the car. It was Peter's turn this morning (CD2 track 19 I think), and they bouced into the playground singing the only words they could remember.... The yummy mummies weren't impressed... The lads did like 'Jet Boy Jet Girl' by Chron Gen though... a jolly tune! Tomorrow - 'Bad Boy' by the Addicts I think...

I find myself agreeing with BF here. Perhaps its an English thing, but the Sex Pistols for all their 'cartoon' antics did change the face of popular music in the UK. Listen to interviews with many of the successful bands of the late 70s and they usually refer to going to some gig or other in Manchester, Leeds, Glasgow or London and seeing the Sex Pistols for the first time...

Never play 'Up yer Bum' by Peter & the Test Tube Babies in the car on the school-run...
