I clicked on the YouTube link.

I didn't like it on first hearing, but having listened to it now several times I must admit that it really does grate on you.

I tried to embed the video, but it didn't work. I got the cose from YouTube but can't figure out the tags to use from those offered.

I edited your post, Peepmaster. Have a look at what I pasted. See if that makes sense.

You have to manually type in {HTML} and {/HTML} (using square brackets, not curly ones). And you have to choose the "Embed" code from YouTube.

Sorry to take the subject of Gilbert and Neil and cheese but I have a very cute picture to post of the pups 5 and 6 days old (depending on which side of midnight they were born).

Wonderful, Diane. Have they been introduced to cats yet?

What's the postage on a Westie pup to the UK, Diane? I want one.

Gilbert is a genius. Looking at that video again, he must have written 'Nothing Rhymed' when he was about ten. There has only been one man since who, I believe, could hold a candle to his poetic excellence.

And I think we now all now know who that is, don't we, Mr Johnson?

cold potato.....cold potato.

My writing was once described as "ivor cutler-ish" by an editor who didn't mean it as a compliment.
I'm constantly surprised and delighted at the oblique and abstract humour that comes out of Scotland. I certainly miss it over here in Oz. I just wish newspapers would use more of the street-level genius that's there and avoid the Glasgow Herald pretentiousness.

Lucky you! I've had Ivor Cutler's big breasts running through my mind all day. Believe me, you got the better deal.
