I see a red door and I want to paint it black...

No colours any more...

That and Play with Fire are really the only two Stones tracks I like, well apart from Standing in the Shadows (or whatever its called) and Sympathy for the Devil.....


Hmm - Pogle pops over to Play.com for a greatest hits CD

Grrr - I'm going to have to have to listen to them on the way home now

Nothing wrong with a little Strolling Bones now and again!

Excellent song, and the only Stones track on my iPod.

See above... <sing>

My ex-wifes dog was a nervous bugger who needed valium. The weirdest thing is to see a Rhodesian Ridgeback asleep on the floor, valium'd out of its wee face.

"Mother's Little Helper"


(Jagger/Richards)

What a drag it is getting old
"Kids are different today"
I hear ev'ry mother say
Mother needs something today to calm her down
And though she's not really ill
There's a little yellow pill
She goes running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
And it helps her on her way, gets her through her busy day

"Things are different today"
I hear ev'ry mother say
Cooking fresh food for a husband's just a drag
So she buys an instant cake and she burns her frozen steak
And goes running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
And two help her on her way, get her through her busy day

Doctor please, some more of these
Outside the door, she took four more
What a drag it is getting old

"Men just aren't the same today"
I hear ev'ry mother say
They just don't appreciate that you get tired
They're so hard to satisfy, You can tranquilize your mind
So go running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
And four help you through the night, help to minimize your plight

Doctor please, some more of these
Outside the door, she took four more
What a drag it is getting old

"Life's just much too hard today,"
I hear ev'ry mother say
The pursuit of happiness just seems a bore
And if you take more of those, you will get an overdose
No more running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
They just helped you on your way, through your busy dying day

Great.... thats going to be in my head all evening

Thankfully as a wee proddie(!) is it not the case that the RC faith considers us to be the anti-christ?

Bloody good job I'm of the flying-spaghetti-monster variety. I've always thought that arguing over religion was like arguing over who had the best imaginary friend.

arrr! Ramen! His noodly appendage isn't really anti anything; he's a sort of libertarian god figure who'd just rather you didn't be nasty to other people.

Its probably done as 7/8 year olds are much less likely to refuse to have anything to do with it.

My mother wanted me to be confirmed but she left it too late - by the time I was 11 I'd decided there was no god and I wasn't going to pretend otherwise.

All you need is a little hand holding!

I don't think I really understood at 13 either but all my friends and cousins etc had their confirmation's and it was an excuse for a big party.

At home it's communion at 7 and then confirmation at 12/13 which is the last year of primary school. confirmation before communion is a bit bizarrre!!

Good idea. Short haul I'm sure that they'd become addictive.

Glad to hear it! Do you use valium for flying too? (Please don't tell me you're a pilot...).

That’s LSD.
