"That was Big Yellow Taxi by Joni Mitchell, a song in which Joni complains they 'Paved paradise to put up a parking lot', a measure which actually would have alleviated traffic congestion on the outskirts of paradise, something which Joni singularly fails to point out, perhaps because it doesn't quite fit in with her blinkered view of the world. Nevertheless, nice song."

Great thread:
Alan: Hello, is that Curry’s? I’d like to make an enquiry about two supplementary auxiliary speakers to go with my midi hi-fi system, apro po achieving surround sound.
Apro po. I mean, it’s Latin, isn’t it? Well, you ought to have a basic grasp of Latin if you’re working in Curry’s. Oh, you’ve got them. Excellent, good. One last thing, what time do you knock off? [Looks at his watch] Fancy going for a drink? No, OK, just thought I’d ask. Thank you.
Partridge is a legend
