What the fuck you on?- - Gie's some! Yours in mere chocolate, Glen. [Mon 20 Sep 22:57 BST] Cadbury Peter dont go out - its evil outside - stay in - the kingdom of blog will only send you kindness [and damn cheap holidays in Belgium] [Mon 20 Sep 23:22 BST] andre I'm so sorry. That was so unnecessary. Sheer wanton self-indulgence. Thank you both for responding. (Sometimes I delete the ones like this, but I know some people like them.) [Tue 21 Sep 00:40 BST] Peter Don't delete it... I feel I should set it to music. Need a chorus. [Tue 21 Sep 09:57 BST] JonnyB I'm sure Danny can knock one off... :) [Tue 21 Sep 09:58 BST] Peter lol [Tue 21 Sep 10:31 BST] zed Go Danny... I was thinking along the lines of 'Dry your Eyes' by The Streets. But we could do it as early Nick Cave if you prefer. [Tue 21 Sep 11:29 BST] JonnyB No we couldn't. It's got to be something I've heard of. [Tue 21 Sep 11:33 BST] Peter It could work as Arab Strap, actually. (They're Glaswegian.) [Tue 21 Sep 16:51 BST] mike Very descriptive! [Tue 21 Sep 19:35 BST] Soren Bailey Just because they're Weegie doesn't mean they're any good. Look at Franz Ferdinand. (Woops - they are very good, in an Handelian sort of way.) After the breakup of Dire Straits there was nothing British worth listening to until FF, which you all read here first, and then Razorlight. All the rest are shite. (Except maybe Radiohead, but that's just because Alaska Josh adores them, and he can do no wrong.) Trust your auntie - she's been around. And now she's off to watch 90 mins of Abba (the third ever band) on Channel Three - except I gather it's only 3 Abbas, which undoubtedly means Agnetha is missing. How can you have a pop group without an Agnetha? Almost Yogic... Agni! Agni! Agni! Plus, by hiding away she becomes by default the biggest. It is impossible for anyone reading this to even imagine what those four have undergone. See yas after the show! [Tue 21 Sep 21:02 BST] Peter Good show. No Agnetha, as I confidently predicted. And omygod why so much Pete Waterman? Wtf has he got to do with anything? Agnetha did send in a contribution filmed from behind several net curtains. What's wrong with the woman? Anna-Frid had the balls to turn up. Fifty four isn't old these days... Anna-Frid said they'd been offered a billion (I think it was) dollars to do a show. Maybe million, but that's just beer money by their standards. I would have gone, no matter how neurotic I felt. Not to go demonstrates so much hatred of the other three it's hard to imagine. [Tue 21 Sep 22:56 BST] Peter Sorry, did someone suggest setting this post to music? [Wed 22 Sep 00:43 BST] mike Sorry, did someone suggest setting this post to music? [Wed 22 Sep 00:49 BST] mike What a honey! And bona to (varda) hear your lovely voice again! (I'll put it on the front page tomorrow if that's OK, but it might be a lot of bandwidth usage.) My own host has got me too scared to upload a postage stamp these days. Thanks again, Mike. [Wed 22 Sep 03:46 BST] Peter Glad you enjoyed it! It was fun to put together. In the end, I went for the most "theatrical" of the three takes... Erm, so what do I think about linking on the main page? Bandwidth I don't mind about. Actually, it's the Belle de Jour/Jewish stuff that kinda bothers me. I nearly didn't read that section out... but the piece wouldn't be the same without it, of course; it's a key part of the whole "performance". However, I *am* worried about being associated too directly with the sentiments expressed. (*I* know where they're coming from - *you* know where they're coming from - but *they* might not.) Some of my best friends etc etc. Plus there has been quite enough Belle-bashing to be going on with, and I do actually quite like her. Such typical liberal angst requires a typical liberal compromise. So perhaps you could link back to this comment box, rather than posting the actual MP3 link on the main page? That way, people can see this disclaimer as well. Is that OK? [Wed 22 Sep 09:24 BST] mike There was a worry here too about that. It could be construed as misogynist and anti-semitic. But, in the end it's simply anti-prostitution, a job I've never reckoned very highly with either sex. Look how thoroughly the gay community dismisses "renters" and their clients. So it was startling indeed to learn, only that day, that Ms de Jour was aligning herself with a religion. Any religion. The foreskin bit just appeared as the most vivid and graphic illustration of what I felt was wrong about a religious woman working as a prostitute. For example: were I right now a male prostitute (heaven forfend) I know for sure that I wouldn't involve C of E festivals in my stories. "Giving up rent for Lent." [Wed 22 Sep 10:05 BST] Peter I also amended my strapline that day to include some light-hearted Jewish stuff, deliberately in the light of that. I consider Judaism to be a good and decent religion, in almost every matter except foreskins, where it becomes barbaric. Hence, (I think) my brain seizing on that aspect. There's been no Belle-bashing here. My only comment was, "tried it, didn't like it, end of story, no further comment." I felt the Grauny were possibly at fault for awarding their prize to such a recently-started blog, but that was their error, not Belle's. [Wed 22 Sep 10:18 BST] Peter That's a useful explanation - thanks. Just to come back at you on one further point - because it may surprise you: "Look how thoroughly the gay community dismisses "renters" and their clients." Not in London any more! The legions of "escorts" who ply their trade in the weekly free papers (QX, Boyz etc) are seen as quite high status individuals these days: like the trolly dollies (chicken or beef?), they're seen in all the right places. Best pecs - best sex - visibly having the most fun, with no boring office jobs to slink back to on Monday morning. I've recently had this said to me, approvingly: "Oh yeah, that's a great club night - all the escorts go there." Also helps to explain BdJ's popularity with gay male readers - there isn't the same stigma attached. [Wed 22 Sep 10:19 BST] mike Oh. We're so old-fashioned up here. (All that Presbyterianism.) Now, don't get me started on that one!
