Are you an insomniac, Nick? Logging in here at 3 o clock in the morning.
I knew that comment would get a reaction when I wrote it. I like the video very much. Did Bob always play one of these "thingies" when they did this song?

I do like winding people up at times devil.gif Maybe just chose the wrong time to do it, as you say. Glad you took it in the right spirit though Nick. It was meant as a leg pull, not to make people angry. (good job I did not write what I was going to originally put) That must be one of my favourite Rats videos so far. That and the snake one. Midge Ure always said that Bob had no sense of timing. I think it shows with the rasp, he goes off a bit. I fully admit I am warming to the Rats. (are you listening Arr Gee?) I play "The Best Of" quite a lot these days. House on Fire is my absolute favourite. I just wondered if you were a fellow insomniac Nick. It is not very nice, I go through periods of it. I think mainly as a side effect of medication, but it is an age thing too. No, I dont need to know the ins and outs of your personal life, but thanks for offering.smile

A pretty smooth transition too.  If you didn't know the songs you might not be able to tell the difference.biggrin
