JK *chameleon*
I think Ben Elton was the only Rule 5er I didn't vote for, as he's just awful. I read a couple of his books back in the day, and even as an idiotic teenager I recognised them as shite.

I'll definitely be voting Elton over Elton...

I'm listening to Honkey Chateau to cheer myself up. 'Mellow' is a great track. And I'd forgotten that 'Rocket Man' isn't actually called 'Rocket Man'.
