Screwing up, screwing down,screwing in or out ,  its all hardware! Ian would bother with such a banal subject as.....er ....sex! After all he used to say in concert that his friend Martin would have 50 women in his bed every night, Oops , sorry I meant in his MIND! in his MIND!  Bungle is about the human condition.
I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.
