Edwina Currie and Piers Morgan?

I've just had a perverse daydream of hosting a party with Will Self, Piers Morgan, Germaine Greer and Edwina Currie all vying for my attention...

the answer was indeed Will Self and Germaine Greer. I'll give the question to MattB, since UP was name-dropping

Ok, cheers sir. That'll teach you for name dropping! :P

Heres a stupid question. Why can't bats walk?

i like it. something to do with lack of muscular definition due to spending time upside down and lack of bloodflow?

or do they not have any legs?

What they ^ said. Super thin hind legs mean they are too brittle\weak to walk on them, and they need to be lightweight in order to fly. Instead they drag themselves along with their wings

thehut gets it right.....their legs are too weak that if they walked on them, they would break. Whats the point eh!

Ok, i just downloaded some Paul Weller live tracks from iTunes, so in his honour...

Weller's band 'The Style Council' featured Mick Talbot on Keyboards, but what was the name of the Mod Revival band of the late 70's that he (Mick Talbot) played in?

He wasn't in The Jam with Weller, was he? I'm pretty certain they didn't have a keyboard player.

It was the (something) Parkas I'm sure, this is the type of stuff I'm in to. I don't have my Rude Boy Revival CD to hand which is annoying because 'You Need Wheels' is on there.

He wasn't in the Jam Weyland, but you are right, they didn't have a keyboard player, Weller did it himself for tracks such as Town Called Malice.

Demmerz is pretty much there, it's ?????? Parkas, where Talbot hailed from, and they did indeed release 'You Need Wheels'...immortal line 'A man ain't a man with a ticket in his hand, if you wanna get a girl....you need wheels'

I'm going to be kicking myself over this, I can tell. It's not London Parkas, is it?

(I admit to knowing more about Punk than Mods...

Getting there, it's a borough of South London i believe...
