My Desert Island Discs
1. Beethoven, Symphony No’ 9 “Choral” (There has to be Beethoven and really it has to be this)
2. Mozart’s Requiem (ditto)
3. Teenage Kicks by The Undertones (It was my favorite before it was John Peel’s - honest)
4. Joe Hill sung by Paul Robeson (To remind me of my childhood - a favorite of my Dad’s)
5. Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis - Vaughan Williams (beautiful and peaceful, the essence of England)
6. Tangled Up in Blue by Bob Dylan (This one will remind me of my man)
7. Burning Down the House by Talking Heads (cos they are the greatest rock band ever and cos David Byrne is a genius)
8. Liszt Piano Concerto No’ 2 (I love piano concertii and this is my favorite)
Book: Well, I already have the Bible for my soul and Shakespeare for my mind. So I think it has to be the complete Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson.
Luxury: A daily double espresso.

I’ve just installed a blog-watching programme on my computer that flashes up an alert whenever anyone updates. And you were the first.
Gareth was hugely interested. “What does it say?”
Nice Freudian slip in reply: “Desert Island D*cks”

Now we know what goes on in that mind of hers.
A lifetime of effort in creating an air of inscrutability - gone!

LOL - What’s the point of having a blog if you want to be inscrutable!
