I have a CD called "Great War Themes" and tucked away amongst "The Dambusters", "633 Squadron", "The Longest Day", "The Great Escape" etc. is this one, which I make no apologies for submitting The Road to Vitez - The Band of The 1st Battalion The 22nd (Cheshire) Regiment. (Written by their Drum Major at the time.)

Mark, have you ever thought about politics as a career? Cracking answer, man. I forgot to mention the excellent curry ketchup that we have over here as a gourmet addition to beans on toast.

I was telling the HMHB TRFC TOTP story the other night to one of those dedicated MUFC supporters who's never been to Old Trafford, just to illustrate what it's like to be a real football supporter! TTFN.

Depends whether you put red or brown sauce on! In other words "There's no accounting for taste!" Go on Mark - come up with a better alternative.

The Who are one of those bands who are better live than on record. As I've said previously, I've been a fan from the '60s, but even then, I didn't get the guitar smashing. When you see them live, it is absolutely awesome! Something else I didn't get, after seeing the film, was why it took Pete Townsend nearly ten years to realise that Kenney Jones wasn't the right drummer. I saw a documentary about Duran Duran on tour in America, and the promoter said the only two bands in the world which would guarantee a sell-out at a massive venue were The Who and The Stones. I've seen them both, and The Who are a better gig - just!

Evenin' all, I'm back. ;D Who are you and Robjack talking about Spence? Do you know another old, old man? At least I'm not incontinent! Do I need to use all my IT skills to find out where Robjack lives, and go round to his house and KILL HIM! Fancy nicking my Oscar Brand tunes........... Paddy On The Railway - The Dubliners.

I've just sat, on my own, watching probably the most amazing TV documentary about this or any other band, ever made. Even allowing for the fact that I've been a fan since the '60s, and seen them live twice, I am gobsmacked! All too often the impact of a great band is reduced greatly by the size of the small screen. The New York 9/11 gig sequence was documagic, and even the closing sequence was incredible the way it went seamlessly back through time, and back again to the present. I can't wait to get hold of the DVD.

Sorry Robjack. Mine are all grown-up, but we didn't have computers when they were little. How did we cope? Spence, there's no need to feel sorry when you see this one Viva Espana - Sylvia.
