Oh, If only Anthony Kiedis knew how much fun I have by mishearing all his lyrics...... Hello all. I wasn't going to post, since I am still only half way through my treatise on why Gregory's Girl reminds me of B&S, but I have a terrible suspicion that the powers that be have just called me a goat. And although I do tend to eat the furniture if left on my own for long enough, I'd much rather be a sheep. Even if that does mean that I get shagged by welsh people. I've had worse...... As usual, Archel has made me think. To which I can only say: "Don't. It hurts". But I'll reply anyway. The first bit was:

in an attempt to fill the (actually quite small) void left by my boyfriend,

which made me think (but only for a minute) that the usually ever-so-demure Ms. Playforth was having a right old go at her ex-boyfriend's penis size. But after a while I realised that my altogether too rapid conclusion was simply a product of talking to too many of my own ex-girlfriends. I'm sorry I ever doubted you, Archel. Even though you did manage to compound my confusion by unanimously stating that fireworks are better than sex. The following was also mentioned:

"twelve tons of cornflakes pass under this bridge every day"

which I can only assume is a slogan painted on a bridge. It isn't, however, the best one, which in my humble (but nevertheless completely correct) opinion is painted on a bridge in Oldham: "Oldham: The home of the tubular bandage". Now there's something to be proud of. I was also impressed (and slightly amused) by Carsmile's references to "The Laughing Gnome" by David Bowie. When I was back in Manchester, said P!O!P! superstar did a two-hour radio phone-in, the premise of which was that he would play any song that somebody rang in and asked for. The great bit about it was that the whole shebang had to be called off after the three-hundred and seventh request for The Laughing Gnome. I chortled. I don't think I'm a gnome, though, although bits of me are suspiciously small. According to various ex-girlfriends, at least. As for B&S content, well, I shall wait until I finish the stuff on why Gregory's Girl reminds me of B&S to post it. Or not, if it's crap. But, I'll offer simultaneous congratulations and possible commiserations to Laine, who wins my ultimate admiration for the obviously adept and downright sexy way she managed to club herself around the head with an exceedingly large, vertical lump of metal whilst talking about B&S. That's true dedication, that is - selflessly extoling the virtues of our favourites to another possible list member whilst risking broken bones and brain damage when big inanimate things jump out at you. Watch out for poles indeed. Especially that John Paul the Second character. Right nasty bastard he is - he'll lamp you one as soon as look at you.
