LOL! This is Lissu-hubby's favourite expression at the moment - funny to hear a Finn try to imitate a northern accent, but I suppose he's got plenty of experience having listened to one for years,... I personally like the one with the Unlucky Al & the swearing parrot,.... Good luck with your moving!

I don't know WHO Peter Murphy is. > Would someone be so kind as to enlighten me? He was the lead singer of Bauhaus. To me he sounds like Neil Diamond during a mid-age crisis, but I love it cause he's got such a deep rich voice. Solo-wise, I just love his sound. The poetry of his lyrics is just incredible! His music is clearly away from the mainstream, but definitely not bizarre or unusual. Very clever, great hooks and imagination. Kind of a rock/punk/pop/goth, clean, shiny without the commercial gloss. When he left bauhaus, the remains of the band became a variety and mish-mash of bands including Love and Rockets, The Bubblemen, and, uh, ... my brain just froze. ___________ JAMac (Dennis S.
