According to the box of PG Tips tea leaves my friend sent to me, England has had its greatest power surges during the half times of football games, 'cause everybody's making tea, apparently.
Mind you, my friend sent me this box of tea overseas merely wrapped in brown paper, so it was all squished when I got it. *is done being uninteresting*
Yeah, that's one of the more intersting things about "the beautiful game" - it's as interesting as watching baseball sober.
And... I've found this list. How have we got onto this again?
Ten top Power Surges in Great Britain: 1: 4 July 1990, World Cup Semi-final (West Germany v England) 2,800MW 2: 22 January 1984, The Thornbirds 2,600MW 3: 21 June 2002, World Cup (England v Brazil) 2,570MW 4: 12 June 2002, World Cup (Nigeria v England) 2,340MW 5: 5 April 2001, Eastenders (Who shot Phil Mitchell) 2,290MW 6: 8 May 1985, Dallas (Who shot JR) 2,200MW 7: 20 April 1991, The Darling Buds of May 2,200MW 8: 22 November 2003, Rugby World Cup Final (England v Australia) 2,110MW 9: 18 April 1994, Coronation Street 2,100MW 10: 3 June 1998, World Cup (England v Argentina) 2,100MW

BUAHA, you just have random public toilets in the middle of the street???
That one's on the pavement! And they're rare these days, but yes public toilets. On the street.

"The story centers on their daughter, Meggie, and her love for the family's priest, Father Ralph de Bricassart. Meggie tries to forget Ralph by marrying dashing stockman Luke O'Neill, but she and Ralph are soon reunited, with tragic consequences for them both."
In some places (Leeds Bus Station springs to mind) it's most definitely an event to... savour... the smell will stick with you the most. Days in some cases.

It sounds like it's full of melodrama.
haha. I used to be Meggy when i was little. but with a "y", no "ie". although I don't think I cared back then.
but yeah, its still weird to see my name places. And I really hope I don't fall in love for either a priest OR a dashing stockman...

I mean, that means we can't post some good stuff: "Bye Bye Baby" "We Dug a Hole" "It's Tough to Have a Crush..." "Antmusic" "Unrequited Orchestra" "Hello, My Treacherous..." "This Will Be Our Year" "The Lovecats" "Oh, Lately" acoustic "GOI" live "Invincible" live "Down For The Count" Yeah. *shrugs*
Why not "Unrequited Orchestra"? Was that a b-side to something? I already put it up there ...
Nope, I've got 'em. The only other EP one you haven't mentioned is "What To Do." I'm pretty sure "Unrequited" is an unreleased one. I'm not sure where it originated ... I got it from the old songs acct.

In my opinion.
Something interesting about power surges: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/staffordshire/3457965.stm Almost, anyway.

Oooooh, on the pavement! Well that's good.
It's better than crapping in the gutter...

It sounds shit.

I've looked everywhere for a dashing stockman, they're like gold dust!
They don't seem very trustworthy to me. and I don't like the idea of "dashing" in general.
I mean, I guess if I found the right one it'd be okay.
I dunno.
And a quick googling (sounds painful) brings up a load of Thornbirds related stuff. 180 to be precise. But 170 of them have been deemed irrelevant.
Huh.
i own every okgo cd...im happy
I think.
