What about the book?

And will you (I think in a first) insist that it's printed on very large type on very soft paper?

[Chris Hogg]

You get the bible included on DID.

[whisky-dave]

I doubt I could come up with a list as for me music depends on how I feel and as I have listened to quite a bit (probably far less than some) and over a shorter time peroid than some. But the songs I'd switch off from the above list are :

1. Bat out of hell -- Meatloaf
2. Stand by your man -- Tammy Wynette

Most of the others I haven't heard of.

I do have a play list from my first iPod called AAA playlist, well better than it being untilted ;-)

[The Natural Philosopher]

And IIRC shakespeare.

Both are excellent kindling.

[Robin]

I don't think it fair to suggest only that the bible be printed that way, and I'm not brave enough to suggest the same of the other magic book on offer.

Does the collective mind think it'd be to ask for a special 3-ply edition of Shakespeare's works?

[Chris Hogg]

3-ply version of both, and a nail to hammer into the palm tree next to the dunny.

[Tim Lamb]

I'll happily listen to anything involving Mark Knopfler. Notably not featured above.

[G r o g]

Discs, Bill, not disks. Disks are computerspeak!

[Brian Gaff]

I don't think I could make such a list. It changes day to day. I have a great fondness of Carole Kings music though, Way over Yonder, The slow version of will you still love me tomorrow etc, and indeed the grammatically weird You Gentle me.

It all depends on the mood as to what else I like.

Brian

[Brian Gaff]

Well not always. However try telling this to a mirror group sub ed who used to regularly try to grammar and spell check basic program listings with chaotic results. Brian

[Bob Eager]

If you get a chance to see the Carole King mnusical, do...it is very good.

[soup]

Do you perhaps mean Jollity farm?

I couldn't compile a list like this what I find 'interesting' changes more than I change my underwear.

[Dave Plowman (News)]

Most on DID tend to pick things that remind them of various parts of their life.

[Dave Plowman (News)]

Not the ideal response to a post from our Brian. ;-)

[Bob Eager]

True, sorry Brian!

Although it is obviously the sound that matters, and the atmosphere in the audience. The rest is just something on which to hang the music!

[Bill Wright]

Yes

Is your nickname Pongo?

Bill

[soup]

Nope!

That phrase was meant to indicate just how quickly my mind changes but, yes, on re-reading it seems to imply I seldom change my kecks.

[Halmyre]

My DIDs are the collected works of Robbie Williams.

If that doesn't encourage me to get back to civilisation, nothing will.
