Yes Barrett was probably a better songwriter than musician, but I loved the way he sung with a real innocence/naivety to his voice… a shame he dropped a little too much acid. Gilmour is a great player, although my favourite British guitarists are Peter Green, Albert Lee and Robert Fripp.

Are you certain that they soothsayer was directing his advice towards the Dees?

Is it at all possible that we’ve struck a deal with Caulfield and so have signed on for Waverley as an interim solution? Could there be further announcements coming soon?

I was actually a big fan of Syd Barrett.

It was my favourite album back in the very early 70’s… Careful With That Axe Eugene which was used in the film Zabriski Point, was my favourite track. I was fortunate enough to see them live at Knebworth in the UK in 1975, performing Dark Side of the Moon complete with a Spitfire (3 of them) fly past right on the stroke of sunset. Despite the fact that I’m one of the few people who aren’t particularly impressed by DSoM, it was a brilliant show.

I think in honour of us dinosaurs and our very own Picket Fence, the Pink Floyd number, ‘Several Species Of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together In a Cave and Grooving With a Picket Fence’.

I would love to have been at that show… considering that he (Leonard Teale), died on the 14th May, 1994. Edit: saw your edited post… yeah, Shhh…atner would be an excellent substitute.

No, as much as I love Leonard Cohen, I do mean Leonard Teale… he did a spoken word version of Stairway to Heaven, on Andrew Denton’s, Money Or the Gun.

How about we drag out the old Hammond organ from storage room of Tommy Hanlon’s It Could Be You, and have one of those organ fanfares every time a goal is scored, with a voice over yelling out, in true Jack Little style, “By Hecla, it’s a goal!!”.

I’d be happy if we could have a latter day Leonard Teale (I’m pretty sure that Leonard’s dead ‘n gone) doing a spoken word version of the players’ favourite songs.

I’m really unsure of how I feel about our chances in this game. The ‘Aints didn’t look too inspiring on Sunday, but Nasiah (“no, he’s just a naughty boy!”) looked very very good; dangerously good!! I have this nagging feeling in the back of my mind, that is telling me that we are going in with a lot of players who don’t have a wealth of experience, and we are going in with a new coach and new game plan, and we are yet to see just how well they have adapted and are able to consistently carry it out… yes we saw glimpses in the pre season praccy matches, but let’s see how they go when real shots are fired. The other thing that hit me, was that I barely recognise the game of AFL anymore! The speed of the game and the ability of players to close opponents down in the blink of an eye, the ball rebounding like a giant game of pinball, leading to a lot of ground-ball handling errors and so many poorly judged passes by foot… I just hope we are able to compete well in this kind of environment. This however does give players like Windsor, Langford, Lindsay, Culley, Howes etc a real chance to shine (from what I’ve seen, they all seem to be taking to the new game plan, quite comfortably)…I don’t know, maybe it’s just my Inner MFCSS speaking, but I won’t be able to relax until around 6pm on Sunday.

And a belated Happy Bidet and IWD to you too!!

If anyone has chosen ‘Country Roads’ (or whatever its proper title is), I will personally get off my deathbed, use whatever means available to me, to drag myself down to Melbourne, and stick the USB, SSD or whatever media they are using, as far up the person responsible’s aaaass….sk your mother for sixpence, as possible. And that goes equally for anyone using ‘Bohemian Rhapsody!!

Particularly if it can get the appropriate crowd response!

I know that…ghostwriter who you took the cheap shot at, is in contact with Fritch’s mum, and the message re just a clean up and a couple of stitches, came from her (Fritch’s mum)… considering the subject we were discussing I just didn’t think it was necessary to state that.
