They sound like a bunch of tossers. At times like this, I find slamming their heads into the table edge and forcing them to listen to the Quo's complete back catalogue generally has the desired effect...

You can't get it on CD or MP3, but one of those kind people has lent me his vinyl edition. I look forward to hearing it if the reviews are anything to go by.

Not so cheap now, about £75 IIRC.

I can normally hear it from my garden when the wind's in the right direction (or wrong direction, depending on who's playing)
