I have had several similar conversations - my mate (and fellow Eye subscriber - we have bought each other subs over the years too) plans to buy up barn conversions when he wins the lottery and spend money converting them all back to barns.

Now that is brilliance.

I shall throw this in to our conversation next time - although I am somewhat worried about my friend as he is going to the arse end of nowhere in Wales this weekend to watch a concert by the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain.

I kid you not. (see here)

They were fabulous on Jools and there was an interesting prog on radio4 about them a while back.

I am just listening to some of their sample MP3's - they are actually very good, perhaps I shall concede defeat to my infinitely more knowledgeable friend.

Or perhaps not.

Just found this video of them performing Smells Like Teen Spirit on the show.

Have to say I just listened to the sample of that and was wondering if it continued as well as it started.... impressed.

Might even make it the first legit CD purchase of the year!!

It's about the only paper left with any real news in it. I have been a subscriber since 1986.

I have almost every issue since it started, although I'm missing about five including the first.

I still buy it out of habit, although to be honest I'm not that interested in much of it such as goings on in journalism and local government.
