Ooh, je pourrais écraser un raisin.
Disappointing. The torch was half one when it came out of the machine. Holding the on/off button to try & switch it off booted up the phone & I was able to toggle the torch switch but only fully on to less strongly on. Phone switched off okay, but torch still on. Two days rice, now nothing.

It rings a bell around this time that being a Pet Shop Boys completist was too much for me as there seemed to be too many different tracks/remixes on import.

I bought Introspective with money I got from work experience (I only chose the place as I knew they paid). A whole £20 a week for three weeks!

Strange seeing the Bay City Rollers on Arista when they were on Bell in the UK, which I thought was a US label...

My favourite album of theirs was Different Light in the day but I've since grown to really like All Over The Place. All done in about 35 mins. I think the last track perhaps should have been replaced with Where Were You When I Needed You though as it's a bit of a gear crunching change.

I liked bits of Doll Revolution, but don't have it. I have Something That You Said on CD single, which I love. Be With You is one I really like too. I've got Everything so I can have the album version which is barely different to the single as it turns out.

There's something so miserable about the corporate "keep off the grass" sign.

Loving the Batman 45. Rapper's Delight at 4:55 gives too much time for the lyrics to get into chicken at your mother's and worse.
