Gibbo

Found a copy of the Fish-compiled 'Funny Farm Project' CD in a local chariddy shop, featuring three songs from the big man himself (one with Steve Howe on guitar), plus a handful of others recorded by bands who used his studio during the early 90s (including Guaranteed Pure, the band that Ray Wilson was involved with before he became the voice of Stiltskin and Genesis.) I had to sell my original copy YEARS ago,l so I was rather chuffed to pick up a replacement for £1.00

I've never seen Spaced, though it's been on my list for a minute. And I agree, Shaun of the Dead is my favourite flavour of the Cornetto trilogy. Tough one. Shaun Of The Dead is classic, but I really liked Hot Fuzz. All 3 are good, and I also like Paul. Me too all quality 'Run, Fatboy, Run' is also pretty good (albeit that there's no Nick Frost) ... with Dylan Moran delivering one of my favourite lines in a film: "The only serious relationship I've been in ended in a broken collarbone and a dead meerkat." Not "That is the second most disgusting fluid I've had in my eye"? Pretty much anything Dylan Moran comes out with is funny ...

Two FANTASTIC albums ... I'm really looking forward to hearing their new one

I've got four kids (two boys, two girls), and we just went with names that we liked (although their middle names are for our maternal grandparents, all of whom have shuffled off this mortal coil.) The only female Taylor I can think of is Taylor Swift, but my eldest daughter knows two 'boy' Taylors - one from school and one from Scouts - so I'd say it's fine as a boy's name

Off to see Orphaned Land (again) next month (with JamesEagle) ... they were brilliant last time, and they'll apparently be playing the whole of 'Mabool' this time around
