I never give in to hijackers, but I've got a tinge of Stockholm Syndrome setting in.

You seem to indicate there's a possibility? Dress down day at work must be a hoot. Seriously, I always wanted an Anzac hat as a kid (you know one side turned up etc.).

Plus ca change ...

For once, no. What you missed (with EC popping up in a couple of places) - grabbed from somewhere else:-

That must be worth at least a free ticket. And he likes a pint too.

'In Case We Die' got on some 'best of 2005' lists. I think that Welsh Rich has seen them and will probably know more. Myself, I've heard nowt.

Talk about supergroup ... P.S. since the previous post I've got two new rear tyres. Does it show?

He's got nice friends. Apology accepted . Sounds like you witnessed some magic there. I was thinking that if he was hanging around he might join in on Sunday, but it looks like she got there early and joined him. He may still well reciprocate. They have done this sort of thing alot. I checked your blog and saw the JoJo write up. I was about to post this (or a better picture which I could not find) to express my outrage at your blasphemy:- ... but reading on it seemed to all turn out alright on the night I will miss your report from Sunday though

Good news: Scientists have discovered a cure for hiccups Bad News: The cure is to stick a finger up your arse http://newsvote.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/5411816.stm

I've always thought of IATMWLY as "Sue's tune", so can't see it being dropped. Just the impression I've gotten. As long as they are on form and fired up, I'll take whatever they dish out.

Yes. "Fire in the hole!"

Phheew. Bit of a sweat on here after a traditional English chicken madras for dinner. Just what the doctor ordered. Can't see the bird flu surviving that.

Chin f***ing chin (as they say in New Jersey)

I remember they had UB40 in support in Cardiff on an early tour back then. They get all the grief for being reggae lite, but I thought their first album was great.

Two excellent choices as far as I'm concerned. To add to the list:- That and the preceeding 'Escapade' got alot of playing time back then. Production sounds a bit heavy now. Only ever had the single - 6 months in a leaky boat Message to my girl

Read the reivew - "Oyster stout" ?

Will be watching:- HAMMER AND TICKLE - Tue 10 Oct http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcfour/documentaries...er-tickle.shtml Ben Lewis' funny and insightful feature-length documentary tells the real history of communism through jokes - the language of truth during the regime in the Soviet Union. Lots of jokes, lots of drinking, and lots of sex - the three things the Communist authorities could never stamp out. Storyville is a great umbrella for lots of good stuff. They even showed IATTBYH once.

First one recommended - our usual starting point for office parties etc. All close to the gig. Take your pick. http://www.fancyapint.com/main_site/thepubs/pub1264.html http://www.fancyapint.com/main_site/thepubs/pub3120.html http://www.fancyapint.com/main_site/thepubs/pub601.html Off topic - but as has been said, if it just the few of us rattling around now, who cares!

The answer is: Fan-bloody-tastic! Much better with Biggie Tembo than after he left. Jit is good time Zimbabwean pop with pulsating captivating rhythms and soaring guitar accompanyment - though often dealing with serious issues in the lyrics all the same. I suppose the closest African music came to universal coverage was via some of the tracks on Paul Simon's Graceland album, though that was South Africa rather than Zimbabwe, and a very watered down turgid affair compared to the original sort of stuff here. You will not be able to keep still. I have never really been into hip-hop/rap etc. -
