If you like The Clash...

*Gets distracted for several minutes singing "Rock the Casbah"*


... You should check out The Jam. "A town called Malice" is a freekin' classic as is "Thats entertainment". They rock like a huge pile of... well ... rocks!!!

Thanks for the tip! I'll have to add them to my ever-growing list of rock artists that I need to become familiar with.

Having waited until the age of 16 to decide that I really, really like rock music, I've got a lot of catching up to do!

*Flops onto chair infront of computer*

So had a good Paddy's Day?

Oh and check out the Sex Pistols as well, they rock. Oh and Brendon Benson. The Zutons are good and very retro.

*collapses onto a small heap onto the floor infront of the computer*

I didn't really celebrate, not being Irish - but that doesn't seem to have stopped the rest of America!

What's 'Lá Le Páidrig Agat!' mean?

Literally, "Saint Patricks day to you". But more like "Happy Saint Patricks Day." You dont know the Gaelic language, if you did you'd know we do everything arse ways.

That's not weird - I speak French and I know a little Latin, so I'm used to things being less straightforward.

I speak French as well... but Irish is in a whole other arena of strangeness.

Anywhoo, hows the play goin'?

Play? You mean that musical thingy? Thank god that's over with! I like my sleep as much as the next person.

Yeah? I had to do a play once. Somebody decided it would be a good idea to do a stage version of The Godfather.
