Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Know how obsessive I am about top (90s) band Mansun? And how former lead singer, Paul Draper has recently released his first solo album?

I think we should invite him to join the Mundane thread. These are the lyrics of his song, Grey House:

I lived on the underground
On the edge of society
There were people ignoring me
And it made me contemptuous
So I travelled the overground
And tried to just integrate
And I smile and I just said hello
Pretended I’m not dying inside
And I’m living in a grey house,
living like the monkey do
I lived in a grey house with you
I’m feeling like this monkey’s insane, feeling the monkey
I’m feeling like this monkey’s insane, feeling the monkey

Life is a gas you don’t know where you’re at in the Grey House
We had so much fun, didn’t kill everyone in the Grey House

So I look for some solitude
But I never had the aptitude, for it
I lived in the ordinary
So I tried to suspend that too
So I painted my skirting boards
And greyed my environment
And I’ve learned all my lessons well
and locked myself up with you

And I’m living in a grey house,
living like the monkey do
I lived in a grey house with you

He got tired of the Wide Open Space then. That could be the Mundane thread anthem

Yep :-)

When I saw him live and he got to the bit about painting his skirting boards, he broke off to say 'I did do that, y'know'

He begins a lot of sentences with 'so' as well. There should be a few Sorry Sharkies in there

I have replaced the batteries in the TV remote.

The old ones were flat, so it wasn't working.
