The King Must Die - Mary Renault. Next will be either Blood Meridian - Cormac McCarthy. (50% of my reading is historical fiction, the other 40% historical non-fiction, with 10% for oddities) or And Away - Bob Mortimer (falls into the oddity bucket) Here's a question for you. My answer shocked my wife when it came up a few weeks ago. When I read I hear the words in my head like I am my own audio book, which means I can't read quicker than the words can be spoken - and no quicker than 'normal' speech, not forced quick speech. I suppose I like to savour the words.

The pen is mightier than the sword, but glad my quill only dealt you a glancing blow.

You being Gríma Wormtongue in the court of King Tweedy to my Saruman, what's the news on the e.t.a. of the client written version of Feel Free? Asking for a friend who may have submitted a couplet.

Ta. Music of the spheres indeed.

Listening now . . .

If so then something like You Wear It Well, but it would be great for them to bring Love Like A Wire back. Also, is it just me or does Sima look scarily like Spencer in the latest promo stuff. Then there’s also the resemblance to CMATs drummer. Not trying to start JT love child rumours but it’s weird.

But you did get a nice new coat and some perfume for the wife out of it.

Are there always riots then? Gloves off for riots too?

I just listed to the version i have on a burnt CD I received as a gift from someone on here back in the day when CD swapping was the thing. I don't know the providence of the tracks as it was a kind of bonus and I was not expecting it. But yes, my version has a blip there too. So I don't know if you can rest easy knowing you're not missing out, or that just makes you more frustrated that there isn't a perfect version - maybe there is on the Summerteeth humongous reissue. I don't go in for those sort of things - though I suppose I could check Spotify to see what's there.

Interesting, as someone who knows nothing about it. Anyway, ta and sorry for the delay due to the site being down.

Ta Bbop!

Jesus, his standards are slipping. Only if he goes to see CMAT in September will my faith be restored. Ta

How long was the queue for Pat at the petting corner? Ta

I think we've all got a pretty good idea by now. Finally after all these years. So that particular person ignored the "Don't feed the animals sign?" I imagine tonight is now going to be mayhem on the scale of George and the jellybeans. Some of your best work right there. Ta.

I'm more of a Junior Bonner guy myself. "He has only one problem - the twentieth century" Make that 21st and it's about right.

Ta. Stan Ogden lived just down the road from Albert Tatlock, and Hilda Ogden was the greatest soap character ever. Just saying.

You slipped 'teton' past the censors. Ta(tas)

When it comes to Wilco, I think of you as the computer who wore tennis shoes. P.S. Only today did I see that it was Kurt Russell. I always thought it was that guy from the Waltons. One of the first films I saw in a cinema, along with Herbie the Love Bug and The Battle of Britain the same year (still traumatised by the image of the pilot who got his eyes shot out).

Just to mix things up a bit, an anti-belter My brain tends to race and I often find it helpful to listen to something just to get to sleep. Been getting into the Night Tracks show on BBC Radio 3 where one fo the tracks from this came up.

Just like a brother from another mother. Ta.

Hint: You can save yourself some time by not typing the brackets and just leaving it the correct way. On the sauce again? The perfect opportunity for Deeper Down with a replacement for the abominable 'Further out than triremes row'. Why are they not switched on? Also on the sauce? All this aftershow malarkey has alot to answer for. Edit: Out of sanguine curiosity I googled US Blues by the Grating Dead and found it on YouTube. I lasted 42 seconds.

Generally my personal idea of hell (unless it’s the Fab Four), but seems to have turned out nicely, and good for you to get something mixing things up once in a while. Ta. Sadly missed. If they are never going to do a version of The Unwelcome Guest then that comes pretty close to hitting the spot.
