Shania Twain
The "Magic" music channel has "1990 classics", and apparently one of those, playing now, is Shania Twain's "Man! I feel like a woman" (the one with the pastiche of that Robert Palmer video).
Anyway, the
chorus goes like this:
The best thing about being a woman
Is the prerogative to have a little fun (fun, fun)
It doesn't make any sense does it? Do women have a prerogative to have a little fun (fun, fun)? Surely not. I can understand that if they did have such a prerogative it may be the best thing about being a woman, certainly as opposed to being a man, but I just don't think it is true.
God please someone invite me out to pub. I'll travel.

Shame on the No.6 bus
You've all been on a bus when a bunch of 'hoodies' (or whatever teenagers are called nowadays) get on and start playing music very loudly out of their mobile phones. Well the fightback has started here, with me. On the no.6 bus winding its way through the mean streets of Kensal Rise, I was trying to get my new mobile phone to play a soundclip I had downloaded. I didn't have the Nokia headphones with me, but I thought maybe you could play it through the speaker on the phone you listen to when having a normal phone call.
You can't. And also pressing 'clear' which usually stops any function, doesn't (I suppose for obvious reasons) stop the background player. And then you have to go through about five menu options to find the player to stop it again.
So there I was, on the no.6 bus with teenagers and grannies, and my phone on full volume blasting out through its stereo speakers..."Welcome to today's Daily Telegraph podcast. Britain's best-selling quality newspaper".

I feel it in my fingers...
yes, the
Wets are back! In the spirit of the time, any competition here will from now on not have the prize of Simply Red's Stars album, but instead a download single from the inevitable live album of the Wets' comeback tour.
Update: Katherine in the comments notes that this is not their comeback tour. As she is a World authority on boy bands, I bow to her superior knowledge. I learnt tonight, in celebration of her birthday, that she is to attend six of their comeback concerts, in a Grand Tour of Wales, the Midlands and the North. She has agreed to "live blog" this for my loyal readers.
