Hello I don't know if the humour is going to translate, but I felt this was worth sharing. John Peel (yes, *that* John Peel) hosts a Saturday morning Radio 4 show called 'Home Truths', about all sorts of reminiscences and family life anecdotes. This morning, there was a short item about the Birmingham (UK) accent. Apparently, somebody wrote in to say that he and his friends used to burst out laughing every time 'Love Is The Drug' came on the radio or was played in a disco. The reason being the line 'Oooo, ooh, catch that buzz'... Ta-da ! That was it. Oh...you don't get it (neither did my wife and she's from the Midlands). Try repeating it in your best Brum accent. Still confused ? John Peel's illustration concerns two guitarists standing by a humming amplifier. One says 'Where's the buzz coming from ?', the other replies, 'Wolverhampton buzz depot'. Maybe you had to be there... Regards, Ivor. n.p. The non-esoteric (but very good) Aimee Mann - 'Whatever' BTW I love the new tagline, postmaster-general ! - -------------------- To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon Take the Avalon electronic IQ test!
