    I'm told soldiers are getting through loads of it in Iraq. They spray it across a room, it falls and shows up any trip-wires while being too light to set them off.

          Anyone who can write lyrics of:

          "I'm hearing the light from the window
          I'm seeing the sound of the sea
          My feet have come loose from their moorings
          I'm feeling quite wonderfully free
          And I think I will travel to Rio
          Using the music for flight
          There's nothing I know of in Rio
          But it's something to do with the night
          It's only a whimsical notion
          To fly down to Rio tonight
          I probably won't fly down to Rio
          But then again I just might"

          ...has romance and dancing in their soul.

          He's probably got a life greater than just the Monkees....
          "I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."

              One of my favourites.

              Even I'm not immune to the occasional bit of cheese.

                Speaking of cheesey songs and Rio, what about "When my baby smiles at me I go to Rio" We had just got a colour telly when this was around, and I, apparently used to turn up the colour control and sit really close...
