Thanx for that man: nice to know someone is reading!

As it happens, the worm doesn't really tend to listen to albums much, just the radio in the house whose garden he lives in. Kind of hard for an invertebrate to go into Dixons and buy a stereo! So he hasn't listened to any XTC albums, and I must admit, neither have I.

I'm only familiar with their singles like that one, "Senses working overtime" and one other I think which I can't remember. Did read something years ago about how the lead singer was sleeping rough after the fame thing crashed in on him; hope that's not still the case.

As for your YouTube, damn thing won't work! Pressed both play buttons, nothing happens. Nice looking bird though!

Happy Christmas! (Why is there not a Santa or Xmas icon? Hmm? HMMM??)

By the way, have you heard the Nouvelle Vague cover? It's quite good as well:
