Albert Tatlock Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Merge the DTL (Dept of Tits and Layabouts) with the DTI - save £250K on duplicate Chief Exec and HR salaries - and hold umpteen Jazz and other festivals. Not feckin rocket science is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bendytoy Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 This is my favourite headline in a long time. I have mental pictures of Martyn Quayle in a black polo neck, wreathed in the smoke from his Gauloises: "With Kind of Blue, Miles Davis' tonal palette was almost shockingly authentic. Listen again to that insouciant timbre and tell you me you don't like jazz". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
