Surely even the most dedicated 'head-hater must appreciate that Jonny is a rather decent chap to have in a band. Certainly Radiohead's X-factor - their Bruce Gilbert, if you like.

Ari, you should track down a BBC documentary from a few years back called 'A Life of Grime' (narrated by no less than John Peel) about an old guy called Edmund Trebus who lived in a North London house in unbelievable squalor but refused to allow anyone to do anything about it. The doc is mostly about the efforts of the local health authority to get him to throw things away before he vanished beneath it (or the house fell down). Just found this summary on the web, which sums it up nicely: Polish war veteran, Edmund Trebus, fought an epic battle against Haringey Council in North London to remain in his rubbish-filled house and garden. In the end, Mr Trebus stayed in his five-bedroom Victorian villa - filled from floor to ceiling with rat-infested rubbish - but the council succeeded in clearing his garden. It was a job that took over a month, required five large trucks and 11 skips and cost more than #30,000. It was strangely moving and one felt on his side even if one wouldnt exactly have wanted him as a neighbour. Another the Keith - -----Original Message----- From: owner-idealcopy@smoe.org [mailto:owner-idealcopy@smoe.org] On Behalf Of Ari dan Don't know how many of you know but I run my own house-cleaning business (18 years and counting) I had a job a few years ago in a town called Greensborough,the guy was refered to me by his psychiatrist,as he didn't want anyone local to go clean his house,Greensborough is about 2-3 hours drive from here,and when I arrived I was aghast to see garbage piled high all around and under his bed,it took 38 LARGE BLACK PLASTIC BAGS (they're pretty darn big ) just to haul the garbage out of his bedroom,then there was the kitchen,the bathroom and the lounge. 2 years later said gentleman had to go to hospital for an op it was unlikely he'd survive,he requested that should he die,which alas he did,that only I be allowed to go clean up before his friends and relatives arrived,it took myself and a friend two whole days to pile everything up by the roadside for hauling away,your place Dan is 'spic 'n' span' by comparison.Ari __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
