Hmmm. I've obviously been away far too long. It seems britishvixen and celine are referring to a BBC TV programme rather than an address. 1989-1994 apparently. Who knew?

I wonder where these two are from?

If yer Geordies give us a sing of "Fog on the Tyne".

Altogether now, "we can have a wee wee, we can have a piss on the wall". That, curiously, was the first full priced album I bought. It had to be specially ordered in Burnt Oak.

Lyrical genius that Jimmy Alun Hull. For years I misheard "the spittle from his twisted lips ran down to his bowtie" (from the solo album with a Magritte on the cover) as "ran to his glass eye" which made me wonder about physics in Newcastle.

Did you know that the mandolin player, Simon someone, is brewer someone around the GTA now? He's in the Feathers now and then. On one occasion I ran into all the living members of one version of the band in O'Farrell's - they were, of course, unintelligible.

True story: I've performed in the same folk club on the same evening as Alun Hull; me mangling Dylan and him doing his own stuff, pre-Lindesfarne. He was better than me.

On the studio original. On the live album it's not bowdlerized.

I see. I always thought the alliteration in the phrase was what makes it stand out.

I loved it for the vulgarity, as a youth it spoke to me of a world of ruffians beyond the North Circular.

As in sitting in a sleazy snackbar supping sickly sausage rolls (or whatever it was).

Do you find that the position of the "I" in that rather breaks the alliteration?

Perhaps there is a minimum number of contiguous homo words necessary to make alliteration effective, linguistic-wise?

The "I" as in "I, pedant"?
