    You gave me Rush to love, and tonight I was listening to one of my favourite Canadian songs; Mmmmm Mmmmm Mmmmm. I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed this song. Thank you Canada, and thank you Crash Test Dummies - a song that's within the reach of my vocal register.

      Let's not dis the Shatner. He deserves commending for his services to the Wig and corset industry.

                            Best thing out of Canada - Arcade Fire. Saw them live last week in Nottingham - UK. Superb. Best live set I've ever seen. Even tops Roger Waters, who, if I weren't married, and he and I were both gay, and he fancied me, and I fancied him, which I don't, I would shack up with.

                              That's a bit unfair. You're right about Rush though. Thanks to them, technical proficiency, drum solos and sci-fi concept albums almost seem like a good idea.

                                  I love the Mmmmm song. The lead singer majored in philosophy and most people don't get the song.

                                      Did you know that he always intended for there to be a chorus, but people loved the Mmmmm bit so much that he kept it in. It's pure genius.

                                          Did you know that he always intended for there to be a chorus, but people loved the Mmmmm bit so much that he kept it in. It's pure genius.

The numbers I uncovered were -6 and -7 so I thought I had won, and so did the woman in the shop. But when she scanned the card the machine said I hadn't.
