Paracetamol is more likely to work.

I try not to take paracetamol if I can avoid it. Aspirin would be a good
idea, but I don't have any in work, & I can't face the oh-you-need-to-put-
yourself-in-the-accident-book palaver if I ask cow-orkers. Will go and get
some at lunchtime if I make it that far.

I don't have any of the other symptoms of a cold, just a headache. Had
nightmares as well, and the headache I had when I woke up was like the
ones I get when I've been crying for hours. Now it's slowly growing right
behind my eyes and threatening to turn into one of those horrible
headaches that make me feel sick and dizzy.

Was looking forward to my holiday (today and tomorrow) after working
ten straight days and having to be at the NEC whilst Crufts was on,
when, suddenly, on Tuesday I appeared to have the flu lurgy again.
Thankfully the worst of it was last night but the rheumy feeling is
still pervasive. This was not helped by the, for want of a better
word, cat running past the back door earlier and moving it into a
position which provided a much better target for my kneecap. I have a
spare one on my other leg so shouldn't grumble.
Looks like I'll just be better in time for the return to work on
Monday morning. Bugger. And just realised the fridge appears to
contain no suitable anaesthetic for later...

I am currently well, but the occasional bunginess of the nose leads me
to believe that between them YoungBloke and OldBloke will have
infected me by the end of the day. Oh, and I'm getting a bit of a
headache now, too.
Those combined with what feels suspiciously like the onset of PMT
means the weekend could be hard work.

Never done me any harm, when I have a headache I take a dose of paracetamol AND a
dose of ibuprofen together. I used to take one or the other (as I could tell
which "type" of headache it was, but I no longer can.

``Moon and Saint Christopher'' is on my list of the greats.
The first headline UK gig by MCC at the London Victoria Apollo in the
late eighties / early nineties --- I forget --- with Lucinda Williams as
support was absolutely _awesome_. The eight o'clock sold out in seconds
and we ended up at the decidedly un-rock-and-roll five pm early show.
It took the roof off.

That's on "Shooting Straight in the Dark", isn't it? Never got into that
one quite as much (probably because I don't own a copy). I'd pick "Come On
Come On" as the best album, probably.

It's been downhill from the off. I saw them at the Powerhouse in
Birmingham in about 1988 --- touring their first album --- and they were
stunning. The support was Fairground Attraction, which was a bonus, but
DB were very, very good. I saw them out of habit on several following
tours, including a ludicrous concert of cover versions at the AVLC
including some Southside Johnny material that Ross simply isn't man
enough to do. They were never as good as the first time.
Contrast Mike Scott, who appears to get better every year.
Concert I just cannot wait for: Sarah McLachlan in October.

Yes. Actually, I think that and the preceeding album are amongst her
best. It's a sad fact that most people working in the country / folk
area acquire a production sheen that may not be overall a good idea.
Unless you have the integrity of the true greats like Richard Thompson
or John Stewart, you'll struggle to avoid ending up sounding like a
either a Stevie Nicks solo album or an MOR baladeer. A prime example of
this is Nanci Griffith: in the mid/late eighties she was making
fantastic albums and playing intense shows in small venues (in
Birmingham she played the Irish Centre in Digbeth and the Hummingbird in
Dale End, and I presume isomorphic venues elsewhere). By the nineties
it was all sounding like, and appealing to the audience of, Mary Black.

Lucinda was damn fine in her own right when she did a short UK tour last
year. At Manchester she arrived on stage late, to be greeted by someone
shouting ``You're late! You'd been be good!''. There is a pause.
``We'll be fucking great''. Excellent.

And Jackson Browne's Fountain of Sorrow. For some reason it was the
mention of Van Morrison elsewhere in the thread that made me think of
that, though I can't think of any Morisson tracks which actually get me

Has there been a bigger triumph of worthiness over outcome than Nanci
Griffiths' ``Other Voices Other Rooms'' projects? It's a basic law of
nature that almost all Sandy Denny songs are unperformable by others ---
even Linda Thompson makes a mess of them, and she has arguably more call
on them than many. But, Nanci, Nanci, just _stop_ _it_. And while
we're talking of other great dead folk singers, Townes van Vandt is out
of your depth, too.

``Late For The Sky'' wins for me, because of the guitar solo. The last
few times I've seen him live he's been a bit ho-hum, but he's touring
solo and acoustic in the autumn for which I have third row tickets.
My favourite Browne track is probably either ``That Girl Could Sing''
off ``Hold Out'' --- another fantastic Lindley guitar solo --- or ``In
the Shape of a Heart'' off ``Lives in the Balance'' (although I believe
it's actually an outtake from ``The Pretender''). As a sustained piece
of emotional outpouring, it has to be the whole of ``The Pretender''.

I know a lass from Barnsley can tackle some of Sandy Denny's repertoire
without being totally embarrassing...but she is extraordinarily good and
amateur enough to keep it really simple and let her own character come
through and take the songs over

When I was a mixed infant, it was Clive Dunn's 'Grandad'. Shurrup!
In adulthood (ha!), it's been John Cale's 'Close Watch' or The Flaming

The front wing, or more accurately the large gaps around the front wing,
on the current Williams F1 car is apparently known in the factory, in
tribute to their new (female) chief Aerodynamicist, as ``Antonia's
Gash''.

We were remarking, as we left the stunning but not cheerful ``21

about dead children. ``The Pledge'' and ``Mystic River'' have murdered
young girls, ``The Crossing Guard'' and ``21 Grams'' have random deaths
in car accidents. Likewise, through the seventies, Browne did an awful
lot of songs about dead people. But then if you will live with Nico

My regular cinema going companion and I disagree about almost all music,
and have branched out from cinema to music on I think only one occasion.
We went to a Leonard Cohen gig. It was _hilarious_. We expected doom
and gloom from the crypt (TM), and instead got (at best) Tony Bennett
and (at worst) Barry Mannilow with delusions of intellectual content.

I've a compilation CD that I had in the car one holiday. The kids had a
top Van the Man impersonation singing along to ``Bright Side of the
Road'', loved Catie Curtis on ``Magnolia Street'', were puzzled by
Jeff's ``Hallelujah'' and the Blue Nile's ``Family Life'', enjoyed the
Clash's ``Spanish Bombs'' --- not so funny now, eh? --- but reserved
their real enthusiasm for Randy Scrugg's stunning cover of Steve
Goodman's ``City of New Orleans''. Aged four and six, that little lot
should set them up for life.

I think it can depend. It's possible to have blood clotting problems

Yes, it is keeping his blood thinned so he runs less chance of getting

How can aspirin be making blood clotting worse but also thinning the blood
and reducing chances of blood clotting?
Or by "blood clotting problems" do you mean "blood not-clotting problems"?
Thoroughly confused now!

Blood-clotting problems covers both "clotting too fast" and "clotting

too fast. If you have blood that doesn't clot as fast as it might, and
you take aspirin, you can end up with blood that doesn't clot well at
all, which isn't a good thing.

REM's video for "Everybody Hurts". Well, it has to be with the song,
not just the video - and not just the song, either.
"Sand and Water" by Beth Neilsen Chapman.

I don't quite agree. A real post-modernist grants the author almost no
relationship to their work. It's the rad-fem and/or rad-left lot who
think that because Larkin was a fan of schoolgirl spanking porn and had
the political leanings one might expect from a man of his age living in
Hull, somehow The Whitsun Weddings is rendered the worse for it.
