Just dipped my hands into a brand new tub of Swarfega...

and like Proust's Madeleine, it took me right back in an instant to the days when I used to work in an aluminium foundry - and the end of each day was up to your elbows in swarfega - the feel of it - the smell - took me back in an instant... 8)

Having read the above I suggest you ensure you get your own & don't borrow bish's.

I just don't think you could be sure where it's been.

I've just been notified that Counting Crows have a new album out next month. This will further mean that they'll be touring again. This, let me assure you, makes me enormously happy. :D :D :D

Brucey, keep in me in the loop on dates. Never had the pleasure, and can't kick it without seeing Mr Duritz and co. If there was one album I had to choose to listen to forever more it would be August and Everything After, and I'm going though the curtain to Perfect Blue Buildings.

With pleasure, Fella. They are absolutely stunning live. Oh, and I'm off through the curtain to Mr Jones (Help me believe in anything) ;)

Well, I got bones beneath my skin, and mister,
There's a skeleton in every man's house.
Beneath the dust, and love, and sweat that hang on everybody
There's a dead man tryin' to get out.
So please help me stay awake, I'm fallin'...

Asleep in perfect blue buildings,
beside the green apple sea,
I wanna get me a little oblivion, baby,
Try to keep myself away from me." :oyea:

That better make the buggers cry :D!

It came in this weird envelope that was sealed and perferated like a wage slip. Couldnt tell me too much about operations etc, but he seemed very excited to be calling in airstrikes from the US Marines as part of his day job - there's going to be some stories to tell when he gets back Im sure!
