The new house is going very well. We're all just very pleased, at this stage of our lives (i.e. approaching 30) to be living with people who we've got a lot in common with, have known for ages, care about and have an enormous amount of time for. Very lucky we all happened to want somewhere to live at the time one of us was living in a nice house that became free.

I'm off rota today, and so is one of my housemates. We've been pretty good about keeping the place straight, and Steve was playing one of his old Queen records while we did a bit of housework. Yet we completely failed to predict what happened next...

Steve was hard at work with the squeezy mop on the kitchen floor, and I'm shoving the hoover backwards and forwards along the hallway.

Suddenly, Steve's reecord player starts playing 'I Want To Break Free'. We realise.

"Hey, Steve... does this mean we ought to be doing this in drag?"

The role of good rock in housekeeping cannot be overstated. If not for James Brown,Ray Charles and Led Zepplin my house would never get cleaned!

I agree with the Queen music, also love Human League and Simply Red.

Dare I admit to liking Shania Twain as washing up music? smiley - blush

Rather that than Simply Red! smiley - yikes

'Another Girl Another Planet' by the Only Ones was once described in the NME as the sound of punk tidying its bedroom... and none the worse for that, if you ask me. In fact, ideal for the purpose.
