I have been able to recite the first verse of the Prostetnic Vogon
Jeltz's poem from memory since I was about twelve. That and the lyrics
to the Fatima Mansions' version of "Shiny Happy People" (OK, I was in
my late teens when that came out). Beats Wordsworth's blooming
daffodils any day.
Hey, did you know Roddy Lumsden was a big Fatima Mansions fan? That's
true, that is.

obscure pure reasoning, and inhibit clarity.
With a little practice, writing can be an
intimidating and impenetrable fog!" - Calvin
