What with all this polling malarkey going on for the finest B&S song yet committed to plastic, are there any that you can't stand? I mean, we're all fans and our loyalty shouldn't be called into question, but we also all like to think of ourselves as discerning souls, so there must be a few that (gasp!) we're not overawed by, yeah? Even the greatest songwriters will have the good/average works outweighing the real gold, with a couple of stinkers in to make life fair for inferior talents. Just thought I'd throw the idea in the mix for opinions. Personally, I find Fox in the Snow mildly emetic, but there ya go. Anyone else have one they have to skip, even if it means putting your coffee down and getting up of the floor to do so?
Anyhoo, can't let my Sinister cherry-popping be a wholly negative trip can I? So time to be good boy. This whole biz about coaches and romantic encounters: hmmm, not too sure. Maybe it's because these journeys over grey motorways through ever-reaching corridors of street-lit drizzle such soul-numbing endeavours we need to do something, anything to detach ourselves from their reality. This may take the form of random flirting, it may take the form of alcohol. Which may lead to random flirting. You see where I'm going here? I'm trying to solve the list's half-fear of the opposite sex. Get more drinking practice chaps and chapesses, but be careful. And only if you're old enough, natch. Don't want to encourage any illegality now do I? Alcopops are probably a good way to wean yourself into the giddy swirl. When I were a lad we had to rely on two litre bottles of warm cider in a nearby cemetery. You kids today don't know you're born...
That's not much of an answer to how to get yourself talking to that girl/guy who 's in the seat next to you, I know, but it's better than nothing. Shells are boring places to dwell inside for too long. There are worse things in life than life itself. If you don't believe me, listen to a Bis record.
