What do you WISH you were listening to right now?

Anything other than the sound of several colleagues arguing the merits of various versions of the Volvo estate. If I had to chooose, something sung by Emma Kirkby to soothe the savage brow.

My boss saying 'Ian, take the rest of the day off...'

Chris,

For all those Volvo "lovers" out there.

Jono! Is that Volvo still going? Fredrik

The new re-mastered CD version of The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn, but I'll have to wait.

I would like to be listening to the Roksan Xerxes i so briefly had that the engineer has pretty much written off. Awaiting a refund from the seller so i can go looking for another turntable.

i wish i was listening to the new doors set, played on an entry level sony boombox (my therapist told me to start small).

Pass, it is just up the road at Defford Bridge, where the river is just a stream 6 foot under the bridge. There are more pictures on the BBC Hereford and Worcester web site.

This, it must be lost in the post!

A pint of Gales HSB (pre Fullers, of course) being pulled in the Basketmakers Arms, Brighton (post smoking ban, of course).

Cheers
Scott

I can do that for you Scott, but it'll have to be the Fullers version of HSB. It isn't all that bad to be honest. Where do you want me to sit? I work about 13 minutes walk away, so it won't put me out at all. Of course, the pre Fullers and post smoking ban requirement is a contradiction.

'Hmmm one more time big boy' whispered in my ear by a naked Monica Belluci.

Thanks Rasher - you lucky sod. The contradiction is because it is a "wish" as requested by the OP :-)

I had a pint or 2 when I was over last July and it didn't taste quite how I remembered it - not so ... "fruity" ??. It was 3 years since my previous pint so I'll accept that the mind does strange things over time to the taste buds. I suspect I require a refresher course. Next year ...

Actually I got seriously into some of the Harvey's ales from Lewes last year - very nice.

Cheers
Scott

Aaaah, the Basketmakers! Spent many a happy Saturday evening there, between seeing the game at the Goldstone and heading into town for some live music at the Alhambra. Those were the daze.

p.s. HSB isn't as good as it used to be (tm Commisioner Gordon). HSB used to have an o.g of 1051.5 and was about 5.1% abv, it was reduced to 4.8% several years ago (pre-Fullers) to reduce the amount of duty Gales had to pay. Several pints of that, finished off with a bottle of Prize Old (half pint corked bottle of course) would be enough for most people.

p.p.s. 13 minutes walk Rasher? Seems a bit precise!

p.p.p.s. Back on topic...The roar from the north stand when the Seagulls have scored their first goal at the new stadium!

Will that drown out the "NIMBYS" saying how it will disrupt the village life etc etc.
Did they all moan when the University was planned?
Life seems to have continued all the same.

Gianluigi my friend, I trust you are well and happy and that life is treating you well. By the way, do you know where she lives?

I'm just around the corner.
Scott, next time you're over I'll buy you a pint there.
Seagull, The Alhambra!!! Wow, that is going back a bit. Me & my band used to play there quite regularly.

Wot band were you in? Maybe I even saw you play there!

Though I probably wouldn't remember, what with all the 5.1% HSB from the Basketmakers sloshing about inside

I'm sure you did, but I'm not telling. Too long ago now '79-'83.

Louise Setara- I got invited to a house concert tonight with her playing live. Unfortunately work interferes.
