Not sure who's bright idea it was to stick Keef in goal. He'd be an effing liability, what with all the heroin and everything. Surely Charlie's the obvious keeper here better positional sense. Can't argue with the choice of The Big Lad up front, though.

Really? I must've missed it. I must have been considering the inherently ludicrous nature of existence at the time. Either that, or listening to House of Love.

Quite a line-up. I'd like to have gone but, being only but four at the time, my mum had the final say on that score. And, she said no. An opportunity missed, dare one suggest?

Good grief, Christina, it would appear that AI do sometimes get some things correct (mainly, it should be noted by taking its information directly via From The North!) Still, credit where it's due. I suppose. Reluctantly.

This is Gene Savoy, the American explorer, author and theologian best known for his claims to have discovered more than 40 lost cities in Peru. That was obviously before he became the lead singer of Yello. Chikka chikka.

You know how it is? You've just started a new book, four days in and it's going well, you're ahead of your self-imposed word count (let's see how long that lasts) and you think, "you know what I really really really really deserve? This." Yeah, THAT!
