imagine yourself strapped into a tiny seat in the back of an airplane, waiting to fly from england's stansted airport back to the beautiful dutch city of maastricht in holland. you've finally stowed your carry-on in the much-too-small overhead compartment, the flight attendant is preparing to shell out those oh-so-delicious little peanut snacks, and they're playing something that amounts to mantovani meets the 101 strings on the plane's p.a. to soothe the passengers before take-off. sound familiar so far? thought so. now imagine the sounds of sting blaring away as he sings about legal aliens and englishmen in new york. strange, but - alright, it can happen. now imagine my face, as i'm turning the pages of my new q magazine (better than those in-flight mags, i tell ya), when what should sound out from that tape player they've got hidden somewhere between the loo and the cockpit, but - yes! - our very own belle and the boy sebastian with 'get me away from here, i'm dying'. phwaw! on a plane. klm at that. and isn't that just a trifle morbid? hmmm... so, dear sinisterites, at the risk of starting a random new thread of conversational hub-bub, i would like to know what the strangest place you have ever heard a b&s song played is. any takers? oh - and the flight attendant, who was not unattractive, didn't know where the tape came from. at least she waited till the song was over to demonstrate how to open and close my seatbelt... alex http://www.tobin.demon.nl
