Let's go round again!
Gloomy and wet here around the estate. When it started raining last night, it was a startling sound; it hasn't done that here for a while. I know there is a big regional divide and flooding is the issue after the deluges over the West Country and South Wales. But drought is the order of the day here as it has been for most of the autumn. I realise this is turning into another weather blog but that's a good thing. I find the climate chat more interesting than parliamentary revolts, the Michael Jackson trial and the X Factor. It is also less likely to cause argument and aggro than the anti-capitalist demo, the Euro or tuition fees. Plus you don't come here for that kind of nonsense, there's enough of it elsewhere. The Times columnist David Aaranovitch tweeted he was getting angry over one such issue and I replied that he should listen to Radio 2 more-he would live longer (mind you, that depends what we are playing of course-I can think of a few life shortening tunes).
Top live music today from Steve Earle! This is a good thing as Steve has been a fascinating recording artist for quite a few decades. 'Guitar Town' was a great debut but when 'Coppperhead Road' turned up, I played it every day. I also tried to interview Steve then but at the time it only took one question and Steve would talk for 20 minutes. Drugs, prison and a few wives later, he's one of the most compelling American singer-songwriters around. He's off around the UK on tour but it's drivetime first off.
And for songs? Well the M25 is 25 this week. Where would we be without it? (obviously the North Circular but you know what I mean) You don't need to have driven it to know of it's reputation so let's celebrate an orbital motorway in song.
Have a noteworthy and memorable Tuesday, see you after 5.

The M25. Seem to spend half of my life on that road.
The obvious place to start is its very own tribute song:
ROAD TO HELL by Chris Rea
or maybe:

The M25 is of course supposed to be the way of avoiding going across town, plus it's not 'midweek mosh' time yet so an unlikely choice for the DT team..
I do quite like FAST CAR by Tracy Chapman, but hey, we're talking about the M25 here, where you're unlikely to go fast, except at 4am...
DON'T PUSH YOUR FOOT ON THE HEARTBRAKE BY Kate Bush might tenuously fit the bill...as would BABY YOU CAN SLEEP WHILE I DRIVE BY Trisha Yearwood

An ex-colleague was once flirting with a chap in v slow traffic and she managed to write down (safely, not moving in traffic) her mob number....they met for a drink - and disappointingly, she didn't like the look of him standing up as much as she had sitting down (I think he was vertically challenged, which I am, so no shame there).
If they had got together, there could have been little 'uns around called 'M40' or 'Junction 8', in honour of their meeting place...so for that we should be thankful!

The Saint is a good tune but the M25 itself is often more devillish than saintly...but how would we get around without it? Witness the number of drivers using it daily :-)
Alternative suggestion - You Spin Me Round (Like a Record) by Dead or Alive, after I drove round the entire damn motorway on Saturday (15-28 clockwise, then 28 to 15 clockwise a couple of hours later...). Can't say it was the road to hell as it all flowed fairly easily (on my carriageway at least!)

MOTORBIKE NOW HIBERNATING
Also a big well done to the good people of the village of Birstall Smithies. I rode through there yesterday morning. They have managed to cover each shop window in pink for Breast Cancer Month - be it balloons, ribbons or wrapping paper. Even the statue of Joseph Priestley has a pink sash round him!

I hope she's much better and will soon be back... even though I really like both of her her stand-ins very much and they all fit so well in the DT team. It was maybe no connection to her illness that Rebecca had eaten raw steak before becoming ill, but coincidentally Michael Winner was on Loose Women saying that he'd just been very ill in hospital with food poisoning from having eaten steak tartare!
