That's a good place. full of goths! i'm gonna think of some more. TaTa.

The Beatles, the Stones, the Kinks, Nick Drake, the Smiths, Spacemen 3, the Chameleons, the Clash, the Buzzcocks, the Raincoats, the Clientele, the Vaselines. George Orwell, Aldous Huxley, Graham Greene, Dylan Thomas, Robbie Burns, Shakespeare, Jeanette Winterson, Emily Bronte. Faulty Towers, The Office, Bagpuss, the Clangers, Roobard and Custard, Monty Python and any tv programme or film that's featured Jennifer Ehle. Yorkshire puddings, marmite, crumpets, beans on toast, fish and chips, and - yes it really is true - gallons and gallons of tea. And yes we know that we have a corrupt and autocratic government and that the royal family is an internation joke, but they aren't Britian - we are! And this country is awesome.

psypig	Date: October 31, 2005 @ 9:27 AM I second the one about pubs being a second home. The scottish accent. (any female, no matter how they look or act, instantly becomes attractive to me if she speaks with a scottish accent. It's dangerous but it's true.) the word 'bird' used to refer to a female. erm.... robinsons fruit and barley. dunno if you can get it anywhere else but i love it. drink that stuff all day at work.

Going to Slaine castle in Ireland every year. Radio 1. Billy Connoly in his early days. Man Im starting to get depressed Theres many more...

GeneHilbert	Date: November 1, 2005 @ 8:57 PM Years ago the Brits were a major influence on me...... they just leave me cold anymore. With the exception - Chilly, Rod, and Traf and I know I'm missing a couple D'mers (sorry) but the major acts (OK maybe U2) as of late just fall flat. I might be missing the best - and if so - drop me a few names - but they are for the most part just boring me. Think about who came out of the Isles, The Who, Yardbirds, Zep, Sabbath, Beatles, Free, Stones, Clapton, Cream, Moody Blues, Yes, Pink Floyd, Thin Lizzy, Gary Moore, Jeff Beck, Rod Steward, Kinks, Kate Bush, Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins, Police, etc…. Who is even close to this now.
