With Donna, you mean? Very good.

You mean they'll be texting each other while sitting in the same car? Yes, I can believe that.

Got tickets today for Ultravox. Not just another 'nostalgia' tour, they have actually got together and made some new music - album 'Brilliant' is out on 28 May and sounds great from the snips I've heard. http://soundcloud.com/dlusman/ultravox-brilliant-sampler-1

Yeah, and this . Ah shit, this has made me feel so sad. I'd trade 100 Whitneys for one Donna.

I had him short-listed at one time, but he was reported to be recovering. Another vegan. Hmmmm.

Wait, I missed that - I thought you said immortality!

And pints of Guinness.

<gets out notebook>

Not difficult to see who eats all the pies in their house. There, I've said it.

Thats 'Fuck off, you twat.' And if I may add: Fuck the fuck off to Fucksville, and when you get there, fuck off some more.

Punk Rock ain't dead. It just smells funny. regards, Hein I don't know about that, but I do know that Mr Otway is in fine fettle. Indeed, he is doing a 6am gig at the Head Of The River in Oxford on May 1st. (For the uninitiated, May Morning in Oxford is the culmination of a massive piss-up where everyone stays out all night drinking and carousing in celebration of May Day)

Listening to Bruce Springsteen's 'If I Should Fall Behind'

Guaranteed to cheer anyone up, this is awesome on so many levels. Be sure to watch the entire performance. The legend that is John Otway.

I'll sell it to you

You can't actually throw yourself though, can you. Someone else would have to do that for you.

He's on a life support machine? First I've heard of it.

I'll go with St George's Day, the 23rd.

The first two, perhaps, but the others are not British

11 litres? That's about twice as much as the body holds, surely. Also if you compare the direct and indirect quotes there, they don't add up. "Recovered quickly" or "going from bad to worse"? "Felt strong enough" or "felt ready to go"? People sometimes go home from hospital not because they're better, but because they're dying.

Wait though .... By the way, is there actually anyone who hasn't got this dude on their DDP team?

He's on my list too Edit - i just opened that link and saw the headline I never knew that about Leslie Phillips! Whoda thought it

John Cairney, who played the young Irish bloke in steerage (and who turns out to be Scottish - never knew that!) has a website with loads of stuff on and includes an interesting video about filming ANTR This was filmed in 2010 and he seems in good form. He is 82 though ...

But seriously, who cares about an iceberg when you've got Adam Adamant, Illya Kuryakin and Catweazle on board ....
