It's essential!  Everybody who was on the list a few weeks ago _is_ a father, 
due to Honey's multiple birth before he/she/it went off with post-natal 
depression and permitted a putsch by the Kid's Programmes Faction.

BTW, what if 200 or so of those babies grew up to be porn stars?  The first pet 
plus mother's maiden name would mean a lot of porn stars with similar or even 
the same names (- there would be a few Rovers out of 200?).  And did they all 
forget Father's Day? Mine did, but my non-list one didn't.

And why, in Scotland's hour of need, is the list signature in Spanish?  What 
about Gaelic?  In Irish Gaelic, it would be something like "Coin¡n¡  thasach 
at  muid ag can£int amhr in na coin¡n¡ - nach bhfuilimid?" [without accents:  
"Coinini athasach ata muid - ag canuint amhrain na coinini - nach 
bhfuilimid?"]  

"my mother..trying to read too much into the lyrics,she thinks everythings 
about steamy bathrooms and sailors."  
If <Songs for Children> is not being used for the new LP title , why not  
"Steamy bathrooms and sailors"?  Or is it too late to stop "He's got the whole 
world.." being the title at that stage?
