    That’s an impressive list. English literature degree?

    Of course my levels of impressedness at your reading is slightly offset by the fact that last FM says the last song you listened to was I’ve got a brand new combine harvester

    Dan - English and Creative Writing drop out baby! BUT only 2 were read because of that…

    The Wurzels are fantastic. Fantastic I tell you - happiness in a 3 minute song. In fact I’m going to listen to ‘Blackbird’ right now!

    It’s nice to see you’re feeling better.

    I find it interesting that the Silmarillion and Hobbit are on the list rather than the Lord of the Rings. I can recommend Inferno and the Prince.

  6. Bec Says:

    Quantumfog - quite the comedian. Quite the comedian.

    yorksdevil - I found that ‘interesting’ too - wonder why?
