    Still got my Rutles album from 1978.

    My favourite was Cheese and Onions http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGd6dR3ypBk

    Always wondered how they got away with the copyright. Their songs and album cover were pure rip offs from the Beatles, although I think George at least was in on it all.

    George was definitely in it, and in on it. Indeed, I believe he put up much of the money for it. :cool:

    He also appeared at least once in the Rutland Weekend TV programme.

    The Rutles made a second album, 'Archaeology,' in 1996. Same theme, but maybe not so immediately appealing. Grew on me. :)

    Actually, i think the five minutes bopping about in front of the tv has taken its toll, my arms ache a bit at least. I am up thinking about flylady, while surveying the wreckage that is my home. I have to go out tothe builders area for a bit of tidiness, between them husband and parent seem to have trashed the sittingroom. :(

    I dunnow where to start, so i am having a cup of tea while i think about it.

    New to us bed arrives today as well.
    Five minutes is 4 minutes and 30 seconds too long.

    Flylady's smug.... don't get sucked into cleaning addiction. Just keep one room superclean .... I'd suggest the bedroom.... with a kettle in there.

    i have to admit i was astounded at the level, which seemed somewhat...acheivable.

    Nobody can be super-good at 5 sports. Most triathletes and pentathletes are super-good at one, or quite-good at one .... and the rest they are 'acceptable' at. It's the sum of the total that counts.... who has time to be "quite good" at 5????

    I was saying the same thing to Mrs. Wheezy after every act...."and now we will have Paul Mccartney, Elton John, Tom Jones or Cliff Richard!" Luckily none of them turned up yesterday. :)

    I have ahair mask on for the neurologist on case they want to touch my head they can be impressed by my curly silky locks.

    I also found a hilarous silk knitted turban i used to wear in winder under woolly hats today, so i will give that a wash in prep for potential alopecia. I losta lot hair before....different reason, just lack of ciculation in the head, so this might just be like that and not too bad i am hoping. The bonus with curly hair is that people think you have a lot of it even when you don't.

    If it does all fall out i wonder if michaels would like the curly hair books dh bought me for his wife and children? I have finished with one of them definitely, which is about iirc mixed race hair grown naturally so might be of interest?
