EC1*

Today's lyric:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Holidays are dirt-cheap in the Costa del Malvinas
In the Hotel Argentina they can hardly tell between us
For Teresa is a waitress - though she's now known as Juanita
In a tango bar in Stanley or in Puerto Margarita
She's the sweetest and the sauciest, the loveliest - the naughtiest.
She's Miss Buenos Aires in a world of lacy lingerie."

Elvis ostello: "Tokyo Storm warning"
From the album: "Blood and Chocolate"

Still a regular favourite

Twenty five years ago, we were sat with our friends D and L, with NOD barely two months old and gurgling in her crib, while we watched events in the Falklands unwind on the tv and I realised that there was a distinct possibility that if things escalated, I was in a position to be conscripted.

Twenty five years ago. A quarter of a century.

Beggars belief.

* As it's a short week, thought I might make it an Elvis Costello one, lyric-wise?
