Ah, buggeration.
I enclosed the phrases in tags which were stripped out by your e-mail
program and made me look like an idiot.
I should have said:
[sarcasm]Ok, this is a great idea..[sarcasm]
[displeasure]I hate Westlife[displeasure]
[enthusiasm]Powerpop is lovely[enthusiasm]
It wasn't that funny really, but that's what I meant to say.
