What's your take on it? I stopped exploring their catalogue with Know Your Enemy...are any of the later albums worth looking into?

Well, I used to have Squeeze's Greatest Hits... :D

(And I like the song Glen sings with Elvis Costello on "Trust," but that's probably more because I'm an early EC disciple!)


England...is that the place where everyone gets pathetically drunk and obsessed over soccer/football matches?

(J/K, I'm from a town which houses the American equivalent of that.)

hahahahahahaha!! :mrgreen: :lol: I was just about to say that if you're anything like most americans I have ever met you'll think that GB/UK are the same things as England lol!!!... But from that statement of yours you know us all too well - and the strange thing is I am one of the guys who gets pathetically drunk at the weekends and is obsessed about football!!! :lol: :oops: But you know sometimes the drunk, idiot guys who are like cavemen with shit for brains who are just plain annoying on a saturday night just irritate me that little too much!!! Maybe that's why I am attracted to guys from foreign climes???!!! :shock: :roll: :P

Oh and my american geography and knowledge of popular US tv shows is pretty crappy so I guess I shouldn't tease you over Jools...!!

Believe me, I know as little about American TV as I do about the programming you have across the pond!

Nah, come to Pittsburgh in the fall/winter...you won't find much improvement!
