Rule Britannia
You're talking about a country with three national newspapers -- *The Star*, *The Sun*, and *The Daily Mirror* -- each of which traditionally and regularly publishes a photo of some topless chick on either page 3, 5, or 7? (I can't remember which page number for which paper).You're talking about a country which gave us James Bond and Benny Hill?You're talking about a country which LAUGHS at their puritanical American neighbors on the other side of The Pond?And, of course, you're not married to a Brit. ;)-- Nanaea

I know you love Britannia's music, P.L. I figured that out from your old handle of "CheBanana". As in "The Pink Dots"? ;)-- Nanaea

Yep my musical upbringing is 70% brit :)) I grew up with the Beatles, Pink Floyd, mod stuff, etc. The remaining 20% is American music (particularly bluesy stuff, original and latter-day such as Tom Waits) and a measly 10% Greek music.
I knew you would eventually track the true origin of CheBanana! I used to be a big time Dots fan in my college days. If you can find it on MP3 -- or get the CD "Asylum" -- check out the Dots's "Golden Dawn", their best song.
