I like Christmas but have yet to hear any music associated with it that really warms my heart. However, I also enjoy New Year and New Year's Resolution from this album is a brilliant tune. Sorry for being the kiljoy

Wow Scott, you obviously think the same way as me. I was just about to post that Xmas begins with arriving back from Tesco and opening the yuletide bottle of Advocaat... Which is precisely what I did last Monday evening. This was followed by the thoroughly modern phenomena of ordering gifts online. This is one of the thing I chose (at a bargain price, I must add)

The reverse side; isn't that the one you put your coffee cup on? :coweringbehindsandbagsmilie:

FWIW, and sorry to be a pedant but this was the 'Grasses first disc and what a debut. Kinks, Faces, Who and Stones in one spotty teenage bong . I remember the day it came out, I was out training with a younger team-mate and he would not stop humming 'Caught By The Fuzz'; which is, in English parlance, the Police. I saw them live once and whata sound. The bass was very much like Entwhistle's backward peddling sound. And Rooster I very much recommend the Muse album 'Origin Of Symmetry'; a riot from start to finish. The best of them all in my opinion. Again, a blast live.

Slightly off-topic, but did anyone see his appearance on Room 101? He did, as hinted, come across as a caring, funny and unpretentious person. Heart-warming.

I checked this out only to find that I like it 'up the arse' and that I'm a butt-munch. And you think you know yourself.

No. From what I've read (somewhere, can't remember), the sequence in which the albums first appeared on the shelves was slightly different from their recording order. Apparently, critics and punters were talking about the development from one album to the next but were confounded when the real chronology was revealed. Wish I knew more, maybe that Rhino box may help clarify things BTW, still haven't had chance to listen again.

This was my first purchase of those 'classic' quartet dates; still not sure of the chronological details though --- wasn't there some confusion regarding recording sequence. and I love this album. Good choice although I thought it would be on everyones 'loved' list. Will listen to it tonight and try and post something soon afterwards, contructive, I hope.

Camper van Gogh? Maybe not but great fun and v. time consuming Hope it hasn't been done before.

I didn't buy anything but my wife and I searched for 'Plugged Nickel' box last night. Eventually she ordered it, as a Christmas pressie, for me from Amazon.co.uk for an amazing 57 squid. Woo -Hoo. Who said romance was dead eh?

Again thanks fellas. Tides us over til the next album arrives. Actually, we just had broadband activated this weekend so it'll be a piece of cake getting the tunes this year. Cheers for now, Tony.

And rightly so, especially given the wealth that Mason & Co have accumulated. Has anyone seen his car collection? Wow.

Where's Couw when you need him?

Any good?

Well, I was wanting to see Rivers tonight in Leeds but I am now obliged to go to a car club night out next week, also in Leeds. Can't afford the two. Bu99er, too many hobbies.

The Cassis and Grand Marnier recipes sound good. I've always made mine with Port but I'll definately make a few batches this year using those.

If you don't mind me asking, what is it about Stephen Baldwin you didn't like? Was it his character in the movie or the guy as an actor? I'm not sure what it is about the Baldwin family that you stateside guys don't like but I remember that bit on the South Park movie where their houses got bombed by the Canadians. Not sure if this was intended as an irreverent aside though.

That was the one I was about to mention. Quite a tense movie from what I remember. He was also good in Awakenings.

I've been having trouble getting on the forum for a couple of days so forgive my tardiness but, "What?" And furthermore, what effing planet are you on aric? Just wondering.

Have a good night Catesta. Cheers.

Salut Brownie, whether it be Paris, Luxembourg etc. No, I'm not envious....

And incidently, I'm currently running on 14.4 Kbps. Again, sad but true.

Some of our traffic cops are 'equipped' with the Volvo. Sad but true.

Actually, let's face it, the original would have been better with the ol' theme/ solo format, preferably in quintet format. Ta - ta ta Taa - ta ta Taa - ta ta Taa....ad infinitum
