To pass the time during severe stretches of boredom, heres a very poor filler:

Putting famous song titles to the test - An occasional series
An occasional series on seeing how true the statements are.

1: The Beatles 'All You Need Is Love'

If I was a lawyer, I'd be rubbing my hands with glee right now - ooh the damages I could win if I bought a case against this.

A lovely sentiment, theres no denying that, and a lovely song. I tried it one day; I thought to myself, 'I'm madly in love, so lets give it a whirl'.

Unfortunately Im also diabetic, so as much as most things I need can be covered by that statement, insulin isnt - I nearly collapsed following that advice. And what about water, food, money, beer, a roof over your head? Not to mention a radio or cd player for the song itself...

...Im sorry, but this one fails the test. Im actually surprised that in this health and safety conscious nanny state, it doesnt come with a warning.

Success rating: 10/10 for happiness, but 0/10 for survival prospects.

Nurse...!!

2: The Jam 'A Town Called Malice'

Looked on all the maps, couldnt find it. Although, spookily, I get off the slow train to hell each morning for work one stop earlier than Woking, which is the inspiration for the town in the song.

And I thought I couldnt get any closer to the bowels of hell than Farnborough.

Success rating: -100. (0 for success, -100 for reminding me of where I work)

3: Johnny Cash 'Ring Of Fire'

...yeah right, like Im going to attempt to put that to the test.

Success Rating - if you're willing to try, then let me know the score.

More soon(ish). Maybe.
