'The bowler's Holding, the batsman's...oh never mind'

Advantages: A full-barrelled onslaught of witty pop
Disadvantages: That it's self-indulgent hardly needs saying

I don't know about you, but I'm the sort of person who will lay in bed at night, staring at the ceiling, and just before sliding into my slumbers will contemplate the great enigmas that beset mankind. Can we not all just live in peace, tolerance and understanding? Is there a God? Is this all there is, and after this comes merely an inky blackness? And most important of all, why has there never been an album of songs about cricket done by two Irish blokes? Well agonise about the latter no more, as Thomas Walsh and Neil Hannon have adopted the moniker of The Duckworth Lewis Method (the name given to the formula used to calculate by how many runs England would have lost a one-day international match if it hadn't been cut short by rain) and stepped into the breach. Or strode up to the crease. Or something...and provided a collection ...

Member Advice On Budgies

Advantages: In Opinion
Disadvantages: In Opinion

I have now had my budgie for over a month now. My sister received the 9 week year old budgie as a birthday present complete with a cage and equipment. She was happy to receive the budgie. Taking care of a budgie is not that difficult as you think. The first few weeks are quite difficult. In this opinion I will give members advice on looking after budgies. °Brief History° ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I do not now that much about budgies but from my knowledge I think budgies were found and originally came from Australia while they were living in flocks and searching for food. The common name for a budgie is "Budgerigar" I am not sure what the actual scientific name is. It is long indeed. Today budgies are found in a vast number of colours, the one we have got is a green and yellow budgie. The general one. ºColoursº ^^^^^^^^ The colours ...

Review of Member Advice On Budgies

The Beatles (The White Album)

Advantages: A good excuse to re-discover a great album.
Disadvantages: You may have bought it a couple of times before.

Having recently re-discovered this album I had forgotten just how great it is. The album contains classics such as 'Helter Skelter', 'Yer Blues', 'Happiness is a Warm Gun' and Harrison's awesome 'While my Guitar Gently Weeps'. In my opinion this is a sometimes overlooked album when the Beatles catalogue is considered and often remains a source of disagreement between fans. For me 'The White Album' remains an incredible and often ambitious piece of work. In my opinion 'Happiness is a Warm Gun' contains one of Lennon's best vocals and the instrumentation is beautiful throughout, especially McCartney's bass parts and Harrison's playing on 'While my Guitar Gently Weeps'. Despite containing a few of my least favourite Beatles songs I still find it full of inventive lyrics and interesting musical ideas. For me a genuine classic. ...
