    I see and hear that the mopes in Newcastle run out to the theme tune from Local Hero.

    FFS thats just ruined my memories of a great film, a wonderful sond and nobody answering the phone in the red phone box.

    "and tell me, are there two g's in bugger off?"

    classic line

    Is that also the tune from the old Maxwell House ads?

    Not got a problem with Newcastle (my niece supports them somewhat bizarrely for a 6 year old born and bred in north london) but Mark knopfler is a different matter. Rubbish guitarist and abysmal song writer. Never was a band as aptly named as Dire Straits.

    I would say he was a competent guitarist, very melodic and a decent songwriter...it's just that he sounds like a half asleep suicide candidate when he sings<ok>
