In a nutshell.

Thanks for that, Martin. My hungover brain damn near split trying to read it.

After that farrago of a "game" last night, in the quietest Anfield I have ever heard, I was whizzed into town to the Swan. I haven't had a drink in the Swan for ten years, and some ufkcer has gone and gentrified it... a bit. Still, the beer's still good, and the jukebox is still the best in the world [2nd-ed by Kieran's in Le Pub] - first three songs after I walked in last night... Buckets of Rain, Blitzkreig Bop, and Don't Fear the Reaper.

I wish I'd had your working definition when I got in, trod on the cat, who woke the baby, who woke the wife that Jack built.

8 pints soon became 3 when I was asked how much I'd had to drink. Now that's what I call quantising.

you are a pro sir.

best jukey i know is in the heavenly bar off oxford street although the one at the good mixer in camden used to be purty good.

worst might have to be the one at lime street station. whatever you chose it would always be 'ferry across the mersey'.

What's on this King of the Jukeboxes?

And, does it fit into an i-pod case?
