At 13th Mar 2012, henri hannah wrote:well, news that the prize for 'producer of the month' might be expressed in Zappa CD's must have brought on a wave of apathtic resentment -besides, tracks like 'Bobby Brown Goes Down' and 'Don't Eat the Yellow Snow', which I've been listening to today, might not have found favour with the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ's PC tendancy.
So I've abandoned that now and have decided to substitute the stupendous 'box' set 'A Complete Introduction To Northern Soul' along with the certificate.
This being Miss Babs 3rd night on the trot no points were awarded, probably just as well.

In view of your concern about this and a number of recent similar differences in interpretation, I uld suggest that there is an overwhelming case for an independent review body (OFITON?) to provide adjudication in difficult cases with, say, a four week reviewing window to give time for appeals from either side.

Hope that helps. And I can confirm that the team won't be swayed by chocolate eggs, flowers, Zappa box sets, banana loaves etc. Obviously I'm saying this at a point where I have little chance to win such riches - perhaps the producer on top of the charts may take issue!

Ahhhhhhhhhhh. Though not sure that "Rover Kill" is the sort of message we should be sending out on the Blog.
Well I have to say I'm stuck with this theme. If, as PB says, its just cats and dogs I can only come up with Me and You and a Dog named Boo, Gilbert O Sullivan's Get Down and How Much is that Doggie in the Window (None of these are requests by the way).

Well, I'm glad the Bonzos have 'Dog' in their title, otherwise we'd be deprived of 'Hunting Tigers'.. mind you, there were those guys in London who had a pet Lion until it got big enough to chew their nuts off and then it had to be let let loose on the population of Knightsbridge - it later made an appearance in the 2nd Naked Gun movie (the one with Dr Meinheimer).
So big wild cats can still be domestic pets. Foxes are also increasingly tame. A kind of dog, you know, a fox.
