"It might sound silly
For me to think childish thoughts like these
But I'm so tired of acting tough
And I'm gonna do what I please
Let's get married
In a big cathedral by a priest
Cause if I'm the man that you love the most
You could say I do at least" ..................'Hotel Yorba' - White Stripes

BTW that was one from me and one from my wife. Can you guess which is which?

FRIDAY



There is one song to which every married couple listening to Get It On can relate.

(Yeah, it's a Country song).

It's also a beautiful love song, one that cuts through all the abstract concepts and gets right to the heart of what makes a marriage tick.

Take it from an auld git who has learnt the hard way; words are not enough. Love also requires a tangible demonstration. So, if you want to say

♥ "I Love You" ♥

then put that toilet seat down.


Alas, very few can afford the luxury of Sir Michael Caine's experience:

"The secret to a happy marriage is separate bathrooms."


Better by far to take on board the advice of Larry James:

"Foreplay begins with putting the toilet seat down without being asked!"


Probably the most profound song about marriage ever written;

#6 Scotch - speaking as a married woman of many years, with 2 sons to boot, I very much appreciate every effort to promote the basic courtesy of leaving the seat down. I have never understood why the seat up would make it easier for the rest of the crew.... so, aye. Get It On! ;o)

I seem to be going through a lost causes phase - next to nothing I suggest gets an airing these days - The Leisure Society, Francoise Hardy, etc etc all ruthlessly ignored, however, tonight is the night for the ludicrously overlooked Dory Previn, .....some marriages run into a spot of bother now and again....

#12 the female of the species apparent inability to move the seat for themselves seems to have caused problems over the years.

I once attended a wedding where the mother of the groom gave a speech, noting that she had heard that the new wife had strong views about the toilet seat being put down. The mother-in-law had expressed dismay at this, pointing that it had taken 21 years of nagging to get her son to put the seat up in the first place....

Such a cry for help will no doubt produce a result... see "Just another manic Monday" @ 12:13 26th!

I point the producer / presenter in the direction of Dave Edmunds as it is a classic bit of rockplie. And factually correct.

Probably correct (and endorsed in the works of Iain Banks) but impractical at large public events.

What does Christopher Brookmyre have to say on the subject?
