Squeezing Out Sparks is a brilliant album but his best track by far is Mercury Poisoning -

Twin Peaks this week - the scene with Gordon, Albert, the French lady and the bottle of wine was hilarious -

Absolutely. Lots of tiny threads. 3 Dale Coopers. David Lynch is brilliant as Gordon Cole. How are they going to tie this all together ? It is great to see how many of the original cast are involved 25 years on !! Hellloooo-oooo !!! -

Another one from a German perspective is "The Forgotten Soldier" by Guy Sajer. The twist here is that he was a Frenchman from Alsace with a German mother who fought for Germany. It is a very harrowing story although some doubts have been cast on its authenticity. -

I saw that in the 99p sale. Caught my eye as I'm reading Anthony Beevor's "D-Day". Great book with lots of detail and great sub-stories. The one fault is keep having to refer back to the maps all the time to make some sort of geographical sense. They should issue the maps as separate sheets ! The interesting point he makes again and again (and also came out in "Italy's Sorrow" by James Holland) is what an effective fighting force the Germans still were in 1944. -

"Red or Dead" - David Peace's fictionalised account of Bill Shankly's time at Liverpool FC. Very stylised but a good read all the same. -

The two CD reissue of Junior Murvin's Police & Thieves. Up there with "Heart of the Congos" and Max Romeo's "War Inna Babylon" as Lee Perry's finest vocal productions. -

I liked all 3 incarnations of Dexys. The "Irish Lady" song to which you refer is most definitely over-exposed but still a good song as far as I'm concerned. -
Best Player To Never Produce For Eng/GB
Ex-Kirkholt replied to thepimp007's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
You are joking ! -
Very sad indeed. Talented player who was always great to watch.

Both of the above statements could be because they are playing in a stronger competiton. I.E. You think Ellis may not be a better player now than when he left SL - I think he is because, at the very least, he is reproducing his SL form against better coached and better conditioned players week-in / week-out. I think his recent England games have shown him to be our best forward by a good mark.
