Being a Canayjun, it's possible that you've not heard of the comic genius, Tommy Cooper:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Cooper

"A man walked into the doctor's, he said "I've broke my arm in several places." The doctor said "Well don't go to those places."

"Police arrested two kids yesterday, one was drinking battery acid, the other was eating fireworks. They charged one and let the other one off."

"A guy says to his mate, "I'm not feeling very well as I keep seeing spots." "Have you seen a Doctor?" "No, just spots!"

When he died on live TV (I mean as in literally died - not as in 'didn't go down too well), people thought it was part of his act.

YouTube him! Good for Laughter Therapy.

Thanks for that. Does my list look like I'm depressed?

Anyone with Hocus Pocus by Focus on their top 20 is definitely not depressed.










, perhaps, but not depressed

Ah, but *Blue Ridge Mountains* and *Life Line* prove that at the very least I'm sane.

Jaysus! Focus! That takes me back. It's the second time in not six months that I've heard them mentioned. They feature briefly in this book:

As do another old - er - favourite......The Mahavishnu Orchestra.


Just say 'No!' to Prog, kids.
