Internet not that useful after all

We lost Internet access at work for the whole of this morning, so the only way I’ve been able to make it through the hours of mind-numbing tedium is by listening to Bill Hicks and Eddie Izzard on my MP3 player while I pretend to write pathetically dull documents about software. Now that we have our connection back, though, I can happily report that I now appear to be receiving a better class of Spam. Consider the following delightfully surreal missive: What does it mean? What are they selling? What do they want from me? Answers on a postcard, kids.

All Together Now for Ever-ton

Much as Rob and Sal might have slagged off the XFM breakfast show’s attempts to find a song for the England team for Euro 2004, (yes, the winning song Born in England is derivative, Oasis-esque guitar music, but I like derivative guitar music!), at least it’s better than the FA’s official choice, announced today. Obviously I’m flattered that they are re-releasing Everton’s 1995 FA Cup Final record, All Together Now, but I’m not sure all those lyrics about Dixie Dean and the greatest ever team will be entirely appropriate for the England squad.

Maybe the musical genius DJ Spoony will be changing the names in the lyrics, but what I really want to know is whether Daniel Amokachi and Paul Rideout will sing on the new version.
