The last 3 to play on mine were all Paul Anka doing rock covers, but I've been in a bit of a quirky musical mood today.

So Cracker have been getting a lot of play, as have Dread Zeppelin.

So odd. I played Dread Zeppelin but got a bit of a shock when YouTube trailered it with some Bieberesque pop crap. For a nano-second I had to question what you were owning up to listening to.

Listening to the full 10 minute DZ version of Kashmir now.

It's just absolute genius.

Ok, beiberesque?

I am not sure I have actually heard beiber:eek: I don't listen to many pop stations. I wouldn't be able to name a tune. There must be something I have heard that is briber....on tv or radio, but I cannot think what it might be.

Or, I could be lying. I'm a fiction writer. We lie for a living.

Did any of the Nice People see the article on Dan Brown, and his curious habit of hanging upside down method of curing writers block?

I would ban him fro taking his feet off the floor in that case, imho he 'writes' turgid carp

I love water, got to be cold and preferably from the mains not a bottle as it is fresher.

The only hot drink in our house is DWs mint tea which I use the tea bag after her sometimes as I only like it really weak and then add some ice cubes as I like to drink it straight away and don't like it too hot.

Music have kiss on in the car and recently done a bit of Beyonce and Ms Dynamite on the sony phone (why carry a separate phone and mp3 player?)

So why not try reggae versions of the Beatles?

Not quite sure what this will end up reading as now on tablet with irritating spelling auto correct.

However I need to say I can't do the Mongol Rally with you Hamish as I know how it will go.

Hungary: Budapest has an amazing housing market now that people are free of the shackles of communism.
Turkey: there's now a burgeoning housing market in the east of the country given the inflow of Syrians.
Kazakhstan: did you know this is an oil country and its property market is twinned with Aberdeen?
Mongolia: Shall we go see how much they want for that yurt?

You forgot the tinned Haggis at the service stops and the global fashion faux-pas that is my Tartan nomex rally-suit.

But apart from that.....

House prices, Motorsports, and Dread Zeppelin.

Could there be a better way to cross a continent?

Veggie haggis and I might just be persuaded.

I don't think I have ever seen Her Majesties Opposition whipped to vote in support of the queens speach, at the same time the vast majority of Her Majesties Ministers were told to abstain from voting for the Queens Speach.

It is the kind of day that will be imortalised in a hundred nerdy politics books.
