Deacon Blue

Indeed. I shall have to bow down to your superior musical knowledge. This version is pretty good, if a little on the short side: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsvtteV6LHc

No two ways about it - that's terrible! Even as a fake it doesn't do cut the mustard. Those black... whatever are... they on the shoulders make it look so amateurish. Sorry I mean even more amateurish. No I'm sorry again, I cannot believe for one second that it's anything but a fake. One more question: Why would any team who play in blue have another shade of blue as their away kit?

I'd agree that two 500Gb drives might well suit you better than a single 1TB drive. I've got an external Buffalo 1TB. Decent drive but takes a while to load when connecting, during which time the system is temporarily inaccessible. Once fully loaded however, access times are pretty fast. This is a 2500 Mhz dual core system with 2Gb RAM. I'd imagine that loading time would be less on a faster machine with more memory. I'd also recommend connecting/disconnecting the drive(s) as and when you need it. Apart from the risk of overheating and subsequent data loss, having it connected when turning the computer on can add substantially to boot time.

Pure genius! Here it is for the anyone who can't be bothered to follow the link: And

Mar-Keys v The Funk Brothers: Earl Van Dyke - 6 by 6: THE Mar-Keys - Last Night

The Temptations Sing Smokey.. just a few of the highlights:

What can I say? Best day of my life. Never mind that we weren't as dominant as we'd have liked, this was the FA Cup final, it would almost have been a shame for the competition if we'd racked up yet another 6 or 7 goals. Also for anyone expecting a classic, it's undeniable that the Wembley pitch is a disgrace. It would not surprise me at all if the state of the pitch played some part in Kalou's miss and in one or more of the missed penalties. Frank Lampard - deadly from the penalty spot, fails to even hit the target on a battered, threadbare Wembley pitch. Coincidence? Maybe, maybe not. But it could well be significant that Frank has criticised the state of the pitch, stating that he's not looking forward to playing on it again in the next England friendly. Heard Ray Wilkins tonight expressing his annoyance at Carlo Ancelotti's lack of recognition for achieving the double in his first season. He says that both awards should be given out at the beginning of the following season. Good on you Ray.

Here's one I was never quite sure of. If you were there in those days, you'll know what I mean. This was a US marine's type call and refrain chant, each line sung first by a "leader" then repeated by the mob. As far as I know it was only sung by Chelsea fans, and went something like this: Wo-oh-oh-oh Captain Jack Meet me by the railroad track With a bottle in your hand Let me be your drinking man Wo-oh-oh-oh Captain Jack Meet me by the railroad track With a hatchet in your hand Let me be your stabbing man One two three four One two three four One two Three four CHELSEA

Has anyone mentioned The Avengers?

I still consider All Mod Cons to be the high point of Weller's and The Jam's career. From the evocative beauty of Fly: Pure poetry. To the menace of Down In The Tube Station at Midnight: Throw in for good measure, the social commentary of In The Crowd, cynicism towards the music industry (All Mod Cons/Didn't We Have A Nice Time), the wistful "It's Too Bad", the hymn of love that is English Rose, the frustration of Billy Hunt and even a cover of a classic Kinks song, this album is a bona fide masterpiece from start to finish.

Just a few of the biggest hits of my favourite band: Bad Sneakers Do It Again Black Friday Haitian Divorce And last (for now) but very definitely not least: Deacon Blues

I caught a little of the Tranmere v Wolves game on the radio yesterday. Phrases that stood out include "Mancienne is such a skillful player"... "another excellent pass from Mancienne" ... with the caveat that many would fear for his success in a purely defensive role due to his lack of physical stature.

Heskey? No way, no chance, no how.

I hear Liverpool are interested in Maxi Rodriguez. They are also said to be considering Scott Parker, but with the apparent state of their finances, it's doubtful whether they could afford either player.

I've been luxuriating in the wonders of the Citizen Steely Dan box set ever since it arrived. Those old classics sound so much better than they ever did on vinyl or cassette. In my introduction I stated Deacon Blue to be my favourite song? Well it was at the time, but my favourite changes by the week, even by the day.. and today's is Bad Sneakers: How can you not love lyrics like that?!

This is what I get for being too bone idle to check what I'm copying and pasting! What's ironic is that only yesterday I finally got round to ordering Citizen Steely Dan to replace my scratchy old CDs and even scratchier old vinyl albums. No I'm not Scottish - Deacon Blue is more of a reference to the Steely Dan song (Deacon Blues) than the band of that name, who I also quite like. And last but by no means least, please accept my sincere heartfelt apology for the addition of the extraneous "e"; I would like to assure you that I most certainly do know the difference between Jamieson and Johnnie Walker! P.S. Thankyou all for the welcome!

I'll play just what I feel Drink Scotch whiskey all night long And die behind the wheel... No, not a prophesy, just a few lines from my favorite song. Hello there!
