That sounds right. It starts 2 pm British summer time here. German goal was a screamer. Trust them to start playing well as soon as the competition starts.

Watching TV streamed to my PC at work on the intranet. God bless the IT department (this just means that they know if they didn't everyone would be in the pub already) Germany score!

I noticed that ,but decided to stick with him anyway

I'm going for a dark horse: Ukraine. I think they may do a Croatia (was it Euro 96?) and all pull together as a team. They qualified well. An injury problem with one of the main men up front (was it Rebrov - I haven't been following that closely), and they are real outsiders, but I'll stick with them (keeps the wife onside as well of course!). Top Scorer: Another oddball: Borgetti from Mexico. I think he may just pile up a ton of goals in the group they're in.

Good stuff

You seem to have good taste in men! You really should. Generally gentle tunes but often cutting lyrics. There was an earlier best of compilation called 'Carry On Up The Charts' that I would recommend. The latest best of 'Solid Bronze' may be as good, it's just that I don't really know the last couple of albums. I'm quite surprised that they don't register on the US radar seeing as they have been around so long and had so much success (initially anyway). Maybe just too English.

I'm definitely too old for indie discos 'til dawn With that and all the drinking, the typo "Brain Jonestown Massacre" might have been a proper description. Morning campers!

Big Housemartins fan. Still like Heaton alot.

Never apologise for that!

They did Arnold Layne on Later with JH (no Bowie of course, but C & N were there ans said that they'd come back to perform properly themselves next week), but I suppose you would have known that one. I had that first album and Dark Side of the Moon on cassette taped from a friend, but that is the only stuff of theirs that I've ever owned.

Just to see how much I agree with.

As the Kop song goes:- "He's big, He's Red, His feet stick out the bed, Peter Crouch, Peter Crouch"

I loved Pandora until it became a banned site at work after about a week. I think they have a special watch on my PC now

I love that song, and the story that goes with it from WWII - Brits in the desert hearing it the original German version (probably not Dietrich as she was a prominent anti-Nazi in exile, but maybe, I'm not sure) on German radio and tuning into the sentiment and adopting it themselves. I like the German version better than the English. Same with Silent Night.

Vor der Kaserne vor dem grossen Tor Stand eine Laterne, und stebt noch davor, So wolln wir uns da wiedersehn Bei der Laterne wolln wir stehn, Wie einst Lili Marleen, wie einst Lili Marleen. Unsre beide Schatten sahn wie einer aus. Dass wir so lieb uns hatten, das sah man gleich daraus Un alle Leute solln es sehn, Wenn wir bei der Laterne stehn, Wie einst Lili Marleen, wie einst Lili Marleen. Schon rief der Posten: Sie blasen Zapfenstreich Es kann drei Tage kosten! Kam'rad, ich komm ja gleich. Da sagten wir auf Wiedersehn. Wie gerne wollt ich mit dir gehn, Mit dir Lili Marleen, mit dir Lili

Reads fine to me. Good luck! Edit: "They would have been better paying" - They would have been better off paying or - They would have done better paying ??

I've just been given some indication from the Corn Exchange Box Office that I was successful. Hurrah! I was beginning to wonder if I should have given you the money last Thursday if you were going to queue. Listened to the mix yet? I'll check the train / B&B situation tomorrow.

If the pictures are just on your hard drive, AND you are a paid up gold member, then you should have an option to add 'File Attachments' that will upload pictures onto VC - showing them as a thumbnail in the post that can be clicked on to display full size. Otherwise you'll have to go down the route of getting them hosted somewhere on the web and then linking to them.

I have been indifferent to BS for a while, but it's good to hear that this recent transformation is capable of delivering meaningful and emotional performances. Was this in a big arena venue or something more condusive?
