  • Cracker: I've Got the Love. In the Music,

    Dozens of emails since my post on Friday indicate that not only do you all have incredibly diverse and generally quite excellent taste in music, but you're more than happy to share it with me.

    Stoopidly, I encouraged everyone to send me emails rather than use this new System which is literally custom built for such discussions.

    I won't repost everyone's emails here, but if you have written to me with your suggestions, feel free to cut 'n' paste.

    stoopid stoopid damian.

  • If the Straitjacket Fits ...,

    I haven't read all the comments on this so apologies if someone else has mentioned it, but is our national behaviour on Guy Fawkes a symptom of the all-but-one-day ban we impose? If fireworks were available all year round would we have the same number of fires, injuries and animals pooing on the couch in fear as we do now, simply spread out over the course of the year, or more, or fewer?

    I guess we'll never know. All I can say, is that when I drunkenly showed my friend's 7 year old how to hold fireworks in your hand, light them and then toss them on the ground last night, there was a tear in my eye as I thought he may never grow to share such irresponsible behaviour with his friend's son at a BBQ one day.

  • What do you want them to play at your funeral?,

    I agree with Meech - Do You Realize??? by the Flaming Lips. Wonderful lyrics as he quoted, but also:

    ...and realize the sun don't go down, it's just an illusion caused by the world spinning 'round...

    Similarly, The Beatle's Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End is a nice little three-pack.

    What about dying words? I'd always like to think that rather than simply crapping my pants and gasping, I'd have the wherewithal to mutter "I can't wait to see what happens next!" I think that would be quite comforting to those left behind.

    Either that or "Luke there is another young Sky.....walk......errrrrgghhhhh..... "
