I'll be interested to see what you think. Sales aren't exactly setting the world alight so far. I need to up my promotion game. Can't just rely on social media.

Granted and fair enough Paul. I've had a fair few splainers though. Social media doesn't do nuance.

I never said it did Paul. Nor did the doc. Jaws just happened to be the film they were talking about when the penny dropped.

Best reply ever.

The etymology is clearly ambivalent and disputed (Wiki isn't God. It's 'some guys') but the point I'm trying to make before people started getting pedantic on my ass is that I had never even vaguely associated the term with queues and blocks. It was just some abstract term.

In film terms it does. Although I'm finding the spin off discussion about its military origins fascinating.

No. They showed an actual queue going round an actual block and the penny dropped. I realised I have always abstracted some very literal.

Nobody wanted it though until Cherry Red said got any old demos.

I wasn't bad at the jingle jangly myself for about 5 minutes that same year. It couldn't last. The poster couldn't even get the sodding title right.

I meant 40 obv. My mental abacus is all askew.

I did mine before Xmas and I'm STILL getting 'have you paid us yet' daily e mails and texts.

My favourite Flirtations youtube clip, which I had till 2024 for it to appear was this splendid version of Dirty Work. Not a proper vid obv but the syncing works beautifully.

Over the years I'm not sure who has bored me more, soul purists or jazz purists.
