Ta muchly, mate!

What's a bit strange is the juxtaposition of two of those - the Linoleum and the next one with budge as a word : seeing them together reminded me of the band named Budgie - a Welsh heavy rock outfit from the Seventies who had a penchant for daft song titles, one of their albums had two tracks called Napoleon Bonaparte One and Napoleon Bonaparte Two. Pretty
good, strong music, if ya like rock-n-roll. poor lads never quite made the bigtime, sadly.

Hi Cindi ,

Hey, it's a small world - I've only known a couple other people who even knew they existicated. Metallica covered one or two of their tracks - forget which, but that's how I got turned on to them. Was on Metallica's "Garage Days" EP, I tink. Budgie were really ahead of their time, just kinda did not "hit" like they should've.

Apr 20, 2007 8:09AM PDT

the Monty Python episode where the Welshman says " what if they come at you with a pointed stick? " - or something close to that, in the "sixteen ton weight" (what I think of it as) , umm, skit. It's a bit of a shame, when I was in Pinner (suburb of London) we as a fam ventured a bit, Dad drove us to the 'Lake District', went to Brighton, Hastings, a few other relatively nearby places, but we never made Cardiff. Or Land's End, to me eternal sorrow as most likely it'll be a verra long time before I can afford to visit, if ever. Sigh, the main thing is my Mum won't be with me, Dad is in the ground, and the Sister Unit Happy - Victoria - loves me more than words can say but is major pain to travel with, super-high maint. woman. Oh well, we'll always have Paris - went there when I was about five, Dad held me out, above ground, suspended from his arms on the Eiffel tower. Mom had a *word* with him after that - only time I've ever seen her that angry, or he that rueful. Never forget it, sacred the crap out of me, but was sorta fun at the same time, maybe close to what one would feel skydiving for the first time.

Regards,
