Morrissey and Marr wrote some songs for Kirsty McColl which are surprisingly upbeat but when you listen to them you can detect the sense of The Smiths in there.

I remember watching a video retrospective of the Eighties shown in New Year 1990 and they asked music journalists to nominate the most influential and most overrated acts of the decade. Only The Smiths appeared in the top five of both lists. Which I think sums them up pretty well.

I would actually disagree. The biggest problem with it is that it is not A Fish Called Wanda which everyone seemed to want but they should no enough of Cleese that he would not just do the same thing again. It is a enjoyable ensemble piece and there are some very good lines "My parents bought me a puppy...... I just didn't get it"

I was with Mrs Biblio who wasn't going to look kindly on me taking random headstone pictures. She already thinks my family are "the sort of people who put the fun in funeral" so I didn't want to give her any more ammo. The Grave is actually on the far side of the Cathedral which is also the resting place of Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester and St Alban

My wife is clearing out some of her books.... I wonder what prompted that?

Visited St Alban's Cathedral on Tuesday and saw the grave of the most recently deceased Archbishop of Canterbury - Robert Runcie (He was formally Bishop there)

My wife had me complete an online autism spectrum test. We argue about the results

Not a death sentence but Gerry Anderson has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's I am surprised he and Sylvia don't have their own thread.
