I’d rather see if he comes back first, as I wouldn’t like to steal his thunder. But I’ll give it some thought. I guess the right questions, however short, are the crux. It’s lucky you posted at a quiet time (Friday night here, they’re all at the pub or watching garbage on telly, intellectuals and mystics that they are, and the weekend will be sunny so they’ll be exploring the sites) – I know there would be a big debate on how and what and whether it’s valid. My advice to Tombo would be post a poll and be damned.
But the more I think of it the more I think it would be more “fun” than convincing, it’s such an intangible thing. Maybe there’s a PhD in it for someone who wants to take a bunch of people to actual sites and put them through successive stages of sensory deprivation…

"Friday night here, they’re all at the pub or watching garbage on telly, intellectuals and mystics that they are..."

Chance'd be a fine thing. Got my boy Cal until tomorrow afternoon, so I've spent the evening looking after him, cooking me dinner, eating me dinner, washing up, doing housework, talking to me dad on the phone - hard work, but it IS his birthday, sorting out a f**k up in me last weblog, looking for a B&B for Jane's TMA meet-up...!

"...and the weekend will be sunny so they’ll be exploring the sites"

Well I did have vague ambitions for at some point this weekend, but it's ben chucking it down since this affy. AND while I'm on one, it'll be me first sniff of owt prehistoric since Callanish & that was Mayday holiday weekend!

Rant over!!!

(You're doing a great job by the way, the 3 of you. I knew we'd all hit a common wavelength if we looked hard enough at our labels. Worms are very important things. I mean words. Or do I.)

PS I hate Van M's 'brown-eyed girl' but am partial to a little 'Moondance'. I looove 'Gloria' and some of the Zombies stuff, but mostly it goes one ear & out the other. (Just in case anyone's interested.) Good songwriter. As a performer, not my cuppa.

PPS What's worrying is that I'm stone cold sober - perhaps that's the problem.... Nurse, the red medicine!!!!
