Arg!  I can't be critical of them.  They're wonderful.  I'm obsessed.

B&S are just soooooooooooooooooo gorgeous I cannot find it in my heart to be
critical of them - it would make me feel like I was being nasty to them.

I can't do it.


Anyway, we can't have an 80s revival yet - we're only 8 years away from the
end and having one now would is dangerous - people are still to connected
with their decade to live it again in a cheap schoolgirl-it's-the-latest
craze fashion.  I can't cope with the 80s.  They scare me.

Ok, they probably would be.  I'm really scared now.  I wasn't killing the
80s off, I just meant that they don't mean anything to little me.

That's a nice idea, but a bit of a hassle, non?

I have a good idea.  I'm going into town at precisely 13:00 hours today.  At
12:50 I will check my email you can all send me your suggestions for one 80s
record that I *have* to own.  The one I'm most convinced by, I will buy.
Oh, and nothing too, you know.

There.  Get writing.  Upon noone writing, I shall buy somthing of my own
choice, most probably from the late 60s/early 70s.

Oooh.  Isn't Erin's tape tree idea rather good?

Right, I'm off to play with the hoover (vacuum cleaner).

love
a very tired jon g.
