That's absolutely brilliant! LOL

Except you got my features completely incorrect.

I never had that interview... *shhh, keep quiet, they may not have realised!  They are old after all, their memory is going.  They cannot even remember if they locked the shed door last night or not... and is that wood preservative on the greenhouse?*

Hmmm -

Go away & read this, from cover to cover:



Then make an appointment for a formal interview on the finer points of sheds, herbaceous borders & where the young go wrong...

Only then will a decision as to your future in this establishment be reached (you'll be contacted by a mutually acceptable go-between...)

Yeah, if we overlook the Avril sig, yeah, I'm old at heart.
Come on, I barely leave the house, surely that has aged me enough that I'm feeling positively old.

Oops, it it is Fairport... I should know that, I've seen them live.

Rush aren't really prog though, Jim and a lot of Zappa isn't either. Wink

No other radio station I know can or does wake you up (as they did with me this morning) with Zappa, followed by Rush.

Once again - Huzzah for Planet Rock!

you'll have to deal with the infestation yourselves chaps!


+++pokes head out from behind sofa+++

Has it gone yet...?

Bloody hell, we're going to have to disinfect the Grey Room again (it was bad enough last time Dean made that broad bean & brussels sprout curry)

Oh and James - if you're referring to Pallas's 'The Dreams Of Men' album, I know exactly where it is...

...in my car's CD player

Well Radar Love seems to always be on a loop when I go on there. LOL

Actually, I used to listen PR a lot and the prog quotient did improve over the years.  I'm glad to see it's staying with is us too.  I know Alice Cooper, Fish and many others, have shows on there.
