Try again. Fail again. Fail better

Is the wording on the card I have on my board at work - and is a good reminder to me that you can't improve if you are perfect to begin with. Cheers Samuel Beckett.

Had one of these ebay splurges at the weekend, obviously with the good weather, the people who usually snipe me at the last minute were out sunning themselves. I think I've managed to snaffle about £40 worth of cds - some wonderfully bizarre ones but I am going to have to do the emergency dash to the post tray at work to save my blushes over "yet another parcel for you" - usually I end up being sniped on 8 out 10 bids, it must have been my lucky day.

Thoroughly enjoying the David Byrne "Grown Backwards" cd. Glass, Concrete & Stone would certainly feature on the "ways to finish a relationship" playlist if you wanted an alternative to "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover" - although I'm convinced that there is a niche market out there for themed podcasts. Beats the dead roses bouquets for finishing a relationship. So looking at the current selection on the not-a-herdpod ("Be Creative") playlist entitled "Feel Nothing" - what could I potentially offer as a kiss-off podcast...

• 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover
• All I Want To Know (Magnetic Fields)
• Cure for Pain - Morphine (for the line - "someday there'll be a cure for pain - and I'll throw my drugs awaaaaaay"
• Cry - Godley & Creme (blimey I can remember being wowed when that video was screen in the cimema
• You, Who Do You Hate - Mansun
• A Little Time (The Beautiful South)
• I've got something to say - Reef
• Bye Bye Badman - Stone Roses
• I'm not in Love - 10cc
• She's Too Good For Me - Warren Zevon

"I'd wait here for a thousand years if she'd come back to me
I have everything she wants but nothing that she needs
I want her to be happy - I want her to be free
I want her to be everything she couldn't be with me"
