1. My first message (after a few weeks lurking). Somebody complained about new mailers praising B&S. I've been musically conscious since before the Beatles (hibernating a lot it in recent years) , and IYFS is one of the greatest refreshers for tired ears and brains of its time, up there with Astral Weeks, Stormbringer, After the Goldrush, Hissing of Summer Lawns. And what's wrong with starting off on that foot? 2. Re. Living the Songs:

John WIgham suggested turning tables in M&S.

Honey added a series of suggestions for living the songs.

I didn't quite dream of horses but last Saturday the Irish Times racing section had a headline: "Dun Belle on Track". Obviously this was a message from God, who used to send messages as dreams at one time - see Bible or have a cup of tea with someone who's into Bible studies. I hadn't bet for years but how many B&Sers also read the ITimes racing section? The race was at 2.45 in Haydock, I put IRœ5 each way on Dun Belle, and took my son to the park for an hour to leave Dun Belle in peace as he/she was making my fortune in faraway fields. Returned from the park, without looking back, to the bookies to find that Dun Belle was an also-ran. My son had to do without his lemonade as I only had the price of 5 pints left (joking!). There are 2 Marks and Spencers in Dublin, Ireland but I don't know if they have tables to turn. It would be cheaper than dreaming of horses.
