Hard News: The Political Lie, in reply to recordari,
Google has taken all the fun out of being a knowitall.
Reflecting on this further, Google has also made it harder to lie. Certainly in a sustainable sense.
Google, making lying unsustainable since 1998.*
* Google tells me they had something called ‘BackRub’ on Stanford servers in 1996. BackRub? For a search engine? They must have been philosophy grads.

Google has taken all the fun out of being a knowitall.
And made knowing nothing almost feasible.

Road to Damascus experiences
The Road to Damascus was also a lie. Just sayin'. Unhelpfully. Carry on.

was interesting
Yes. Wish I'd seen that beforehand, although I would still have been a little out of my comfort zone.

So Russell, I gather from a certain TV commentator on bFM this morning that you also found Gary Numan a bit, umm, something. (There are no secrets).
The second half was more like Tackhead vs Trent Reznor than what I expected. They were all great musicians, and he is sure a showman, but it just confused me, to be honest. 'Are Friends Eclectic' was pretty special, but the lack of familiarity made me feel there was a boat somewhere that I'd missed. Maybe this one.

But you really think they're worse than this?
Roll out the closet Nana Mouskouri fans.

I will get you for that.
ETA Mrs Lemming says my revenge will be nothing compared to hers. I believe her.
In the cold light of day, having tried to sleep through the damn thing reverberating around my skull, I would say ritualistic Seppuku is not out of the question, which would save you the bother.
Jackie, this is my fav Elbow song, followed closely by Powder Blue.

Bon Jovi
Funnily enough, I was going to go there next, but got distracted by ducks and Karaoke, in that order.
But since you mention it, on 4, everybody ready?

I can't rule out gnawing my arms off..
Here we go, Karaoke backing music.
What, have I gone too far? Jackie, I would totally love to be at this party, and like Danielle I’d sing my arse off. Love your work.
