I quite enjoyed the Paul Hogan show myself. The Incredible Hulk pisstakes on that were very funny, if memory serves...

The thing with Rory McGrath and Jimmy Mulville when they were still funny, right?
That one was brilliant. I was a bit peeved to find that you can't get a DVD of it.

Limey so called because the cheapskate British government corporation provided Limes from the colonies to the mariners to prevent scurvy at sea, but eventually went back to lemons because limes have less vitamin c in them and scurvy was becoming a problem again.

Nothing has changed, the corporation is always looking for a cheaper option for it's employees.

Mind you, that's overstated a little: a lot of trading companies and navies had started providing citrus fruit by the end of the 18th century. It was just something that the East India company and the Royal Navy started doing first.

I bet that cut into their profits, but they had to really, as a sick crew cannot get the produce to the markets to enable the profit.

I am a member of the council of the naval mutiny
And no traitor to my conscience having done my sworn duty
These are my last words before the scaffold
and I charge you all to hear
How a wretched British sailor became a citizen mutineer
Pressed into service to carry powder I was
loyal to the crack of the whip
If I starved on the streets of Bristol, I
starved worse on a British ship
Red is the colour of the new republic
Blue is the colour of the sea
White is the colour of my innocence
Not surrender to your mercy
I was woken from my misery by the words of Thomas Paine
On my barren soil they fell like the sweetest drops of rain
Red is the colour of the new republic
Blue is the colour of the sea
White is the colour of my innocence
Not surrender to your mercy
So in the spring of the year we took the fleet
Every cask and cannon and compass sheet
And we flew a Jacobean flag to give us heart
While Pitt stood helpless we were waiting for Bonaparte
Red is the colour of the new republic
Blue is the colour of the sea
White is the colour of my innocence
Not surrender to your mercy
All you soldiers, all you sailors, all you labourers of the land
All you beggars, all you builders, all
you come here to watch me hang
To the masters we are the rabble, we are the 'swinish multitude'
But we can re-arrange the colours of the
red and the white and the blue
Red is the colour of the new republic
Blue is the colour of the sea
White is the colour of my innocence
Not surrender to your mercy
Red is the colour of the new republic
Blue is the colour of the sea
White is the colour of my innocence
Not surrender to your mercy

Good band, The Men They Couldn't Hang. There were a lot of leftist folk acts during the '80s, weren't there?

There is something to be said for time zones!

I slept through the little chat you guys had on some of our 'cultural' exports. Which is what I tended to when they were TV here too.

I see the land down under chaps have been lined up to fork over some moolah to the kookaburra boys for mentioning vegemite.

How do we dance while our earth is turnin' ?
How do we sleep while our beds are burnin'?

Yeah, but bloody good music with it, the Levellers for instance , New Model Army, The Pogues and SkyClad. but I draw the line at Billy Bragg

( Which reminds me, I must see about getting tickets for the Beautiful Days concert)

Now what is there, nothing but pap.

Just gone through this book about "freak folk", the main thrust of whose author seems to be insisting that Devandra Banhart is too just as good as The Incredible String Band or Comus. Can't see it, meself.
You'd think The Pogues or Eliza Carthy would warrant a mention, wouldn't you?
