I bought a wind-up radio
You're having us on
He's just winding us up...
But, he did mention this when we discussed the Emergency Preparation thing not so long ago. Mine has a torch too.
Yes yes, another droll badge to add to my collection. Better droll than troll, right?

Anyway, this one time, at scout camp...someone decided the primus stove wasn't getting hot enough and that the initial pouring of the meths had been too parsimonious. Naturally, the obvious solution was to pour on a bit more.
And henceforth I heard the rest in the voice of Alyson Hannigan, which was no doubt your intention.
Amerkin Pie?

(and certainly if it's your job to!)
Eggs-Zachary!
Ahh, America, we loves yous!
PS. I've found that works if you channel either Billy Connelly or Father Ted, depending on which accent you do better.

I feel left out. My worst to date is a spatula on an element. Amazing how plastic ash can find it's way into closed cupboards in rooms at the other end of the house though.
Oh, there was that bonfire incident, but I was just taking photos, so was more concerned about getting a good shot than the sea of flames rolling down the hill. Hot tip: don't use accelerant when bonfire on slope.

Back to b, and the reformatting of the Wire. If it was an hour, we would have missed hearing the interview with the representative from the Catholic Church talking about the abuse scandal and explaining how the Pope is representing God in a direct line from Peter the Apostle. O'Relly? That was interesting, but where else are you going to have discussion about these topics followed by Joy Division Atmosphere?
The music matters, and by and large the DJs know this.

Concluding thought: the Icelandic language would seem to be a rich trove of un-guessable passwords …
Eyjafjallajökull?
It would be very funny if [people] around the world started copying and pasting this into the password fields. I can hear the screams already. "Shit, how do you do that bloody dotty thing again?"
Edit: IT-geeks wouldn't be that stupid, right? Now, where's my password cracker...
And here's some erudite ABC reporters making fun of a whole culture and their language. I can safely say my guess at the pronunciation was not even close. How to pronounce Eyjafjallajökull.
@RB. Snap.

When Murray came down to Timaru (my then place of journalistic exile) in late 1982 to interview me for the Rip It Up job, he bought me dinner.
I'm somewhat amazed (well not really) you resisted playing the most obvious track off the album, Rip It Up. Of course, apart from the droll irony, this may explain his aversion to it. I'm just sayin'.
Hmm, was that my Rick Giles moment?

Ha, how did we forget this? 1979 even!

Damn, I went out and missed the chance for more.
Yes yes it's early Sunday morning Sacha and I'm awake. So shoot me... -
Seems so easy to find early 80s music that matters, and we haven't even got into the goths yet. Well, apart from J&TMC. That's enough from me... or is it?
