Why do most men in an enclosed space, smell of rank sweaty hairy cheese-dipped skunks?

You might as well go to the off license and then the park if you're going to do that.

The album is pretty slick, although I'm very fond of it; while I never got hold of it until last year, I knew many of the songs.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for that!Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05163017415448622471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1393322434766469343.post-34426873150114229172008-04-17T07:32:00.000+01:002008-04-17T07:32:00.000+01:00SimonThe other version is the earlier single, rele...Simon<BR/><BR/>The other version is the earlier single, released about 9 months before the LP was recorded.<BR/><BR/>Trapped and Unwrapped also contains a different version of the debut single Honey At The Core.<BR/><BR/>Both earlier versions are better representations of the band rather than the overly-produced stuff on the LP.<BR/><BR/>Can I just say in passing that I'm of a vintage that I was able see Friends Again something like 10 times in the 2 or so years they were together....JChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05090608248723528292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1393322434766469343.post-43674538852254828692008-04-16T21:04:00.000+01:002008-04-16T21:04:00.000+01:00No probs, your blog's a good un.

Not yer golfing kind, but woolly polo-necked ski jumpers with big patterns. Lots of purple and blue. Tracie epitomises that time as does 'Wearing Your Jumper'.<BR/><BR/>Here comes the summer ... eventually.dickvandykehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13590436106154960912noreply@blogger.com
