Sorry, but I couldn't resist. One for cognoscenti. Who can resist "the master butcher of Leigh on Sea"? Don't google that, it makes it too easy. And I see welcome homage to Pump: Young Lust and especially F.I.N.E.:
'Cause I'm
Alright
Your momma says I'm
Alright
Your daddy says I'm
Alright
and my old lady says I'm
Alright
And one for... well, almost everyone:

Some of you may know that a publisher contacted me last year about turning a piece of short fiction I'd written from an adult perspective into a young adult novel. There are several reasons I wanted to do this - the first is that in many ways, the young adult fiction market is much more vital than…
"DAAAAADDDDDYYYYY!!!!"
"What's the matter, honey?"
"I don't like being alone."
"Well, I'm sorry, honey, but I have work to do, and it's time for you to go to sleep."
"But when I'm alone I get scared."
"Well, I can put on some music if you like. You can listen to that, and it might give you…
I'm late to the party again; only because Hilzoy mentioned it did I see this hilariously inane article by Michael Medved. I don't know what Medved's qualifications are; he seems to be the Clever Hans of the Right Wing chattering classes, the guy who doesn't actually have a functioning mind but is…
I'm bowing to peer-pressure and joining the throng of SciBlings who have admitted to taking the nerd test. Orac's been trying real hard to claim dominance in this category, and having met the man I am reluctant to argue with him, but it would seem like quite a few of us are giving him a run for his…
Not Googled - always rather liked Carter USM - saw them only once, shortly after 101 Damnations was released. They were very good. Tight.
Lord, I thought I was the only one who remembered Carter! Also only saw them once, but rather later - in '95 (Worry Bomb era - still my fave album tbh). When 101 came out I was still of an age to be reading Smash Hits...;)
I grow old. Trouser bottoms, etc.
And the police are getting younger every day.

Moving up on second base
Behind William van what's-his-face
Six foot six and a hundred tons
The undisputed king of the slums
More aliases than Klaus Barbie
The master butcher from Leigh on Sea
In a hatchback fron Notre Dam
The one and only Sheriff Fatman!
I saw Carter USM a few times, they were always great live. 30 Something was probably my favourite album.
Now how about the Sultans of Ping FC...
Oops, Nicholas van Wotsitsface of course
A note on Nicholas van Wotsisface for puzzled non-UK readers. A lovely fella.

Why isn't he in the klink?
[Spammed -W]
Was Nicholas van W ever parodied by Monty Python, a la the Kray twins? It seems an obvious thing to do.
And everyone should read Atmospheric Physicist's post. Wonderful stuff indeed. I'll give you "the force field acting on molecules in flight" as a teaser.
"Dinsdale...?"
Raymond Arritt, "Atmospheric Physicist" is likely Doug Cotton. He regularly goes around a few blogs and spams his claims that the greenhouse effect violates the 2nd law of thermodynamics.
