Modern ballet? Ballet can be diverse in its application. I always recall a friend describing a hopelessly pissed man collapsing into the stage gear of a pub band on St Patrick's day, causing a load explosion, a few sparks and a near fire, as 'balletic'.
There's more to life than books, you know, but not much more

Christ, who would've thunk Tony & the lads could inspire such a stream of messages? I can't wait for the answer.

Hey, I'm not in the slightest bit disappointed. I'm just pissed off I didn't get to hang my RoI flag out of the window. The Scottish one is still safely tucked away somewhere, never to see the light of day it seems.

I don't know whether to be delighted that you've got a Saltire, or miffed at that wee jibe! I'll just be delighted...maybe one day we'll give you a reason to fly it high above the streets. I'd like to see you in a wee tammy, playing the pipes and dancing the gay gordons!

OK heres the correct answer - Spandau Ballet took their name from a Nazi guard term for the contortions of Jewish prisoners being gassed to death. There was a large gas chamber in the city of Spandau. Pretty gruesome huh?
Someone post a question please my brain is dead - I think the football killed it!

Crikey, that's a grim fact.
Off to see Bob Dylan tomorrow, so a Bob question. What album did he release on Island (Asylum in the US) when he was on the outs with Columbia?

Laughingcrow, you are correct! The KL stuff is pretty good. I have a couple of old singles. You're up, buddy.
