Nope- must try and find it online. Grooving to Steely Dan, Pearl of the Quarter. Everyday tale of a chap who falls in love with a lady of the night.

The songs are great- but Auld Zinm's voice is away tae boogery- still a fine album though. Leonard Cohen time here- "First we take Manhattan"

Surely not a Christmas present. A winterval gift would be more appropriate.

4 wonderful poets and Carol Ann Duffy.

London is wonderful. Dublin - had a great time. Paris- wonderful food and drink- great sights. Amsterdam lined up for October.

Bravo

The Rimbaud of Cymdonkin Drive? Feckin excellent fella. As I said , loadsa fine poets. Keith Douglas Poetic clicky Wilde and loadsa others

Lorca- anyone who can write, in connection with shagging, deserves to be here Betjeman- much better than most think- "The death of King George V" is a cracking poem Burns- of course A nice wee ditty on our royal family Wilf Owen and finally feckit there's too many cracking poets to confine it to 5 and I'd just change my mind in 5 minutes.

Jacobite songs too Bill moves to the SNP?

Leaving was indeed a cracking play. PS My lawyers, Messrs Sue, Grabiitt and Runne will be in contact with you over the Paul Young comparison.

More songs of loss and tragedy today. Green day and Elvis C doing "Wake me up when September ends" Clicky Bill- the beardy bloke! -superb.

Aye- so do I. The soundtrack to my life. From Radio One to Radio four.

Elvis Costello- Alison. Wonderful tune - sharp lyrics. Now morphing into_ In my life, Johnny Cash.

Shite no Must try and find the statue- wee homage needed May have passed it pished after a beer fest night. Most pleased that some chaps get the Audubon reference. Lehrer is indeed a feckin' genius. Currently it's Oedipus Rex

Poisoning pigeons in the park- Tom Lehrer.

Seems to be available on amazon.

Indeed All of McDougall's work bears re-release- Just another saturday, Elephant's graveyard, Down where the buffalo go. I was about to mention "Edge of Darkness"- checked amazon- it's available- now ordered. Edit to include- TL sir- I owe you one- checking amazon again and found that "Just another saturday" was released on DVD in June. Ya dancer

Best advice- Use something like Norton and DON'T use internet explorer as your web browser. Go to Mozilla, download and use Firefox instead of Internet Explorer.

Thank Gawd I was not the only person who didn't make the link. Clicky

Googling for any details on SAHB at the Howff I found out that Alex was the brother of Les Harvey Jaysus- two cracking Glasgow bands connected by brothers and tragic deaths- and I never made the link.

Any band that does a Jacques Brel song is the biz. And a great take of Delilah Did I really see them in the Burns Howff? Or are age and alcohol rotting my brain?

Islay bros- sounds like a heilan band. Isley bros

Aye- I really like early Miles, before he got so far up his own @rse that he could see his gullet. Sketches is lovely. Bitches Brew jist leaves me cold though.

Indeed- "Songs for young lovers" often makes it onto the McB music machine. Currently chillin' to Miles Davies - "Kind of Blue"
