    Just heard this on the radio this morning and it brought back memories. The words "nearly fit". It was on the XTC album Dreams and Wires. Think they were a New Wave band in the early 80's. But I won't get into that argument.

    We couldn't sing it but Papa might put it on the PA system!

    Making Plans for Nigel – XTC
    We’re only making plans for Nigel
    We only want what’s best for him
    We’re only making plans for Nigel
    Nigel just needs this helping hand
    And if young Nigel says he’s happy
    He must be happy
    He must be happy in his work
    We’re only making plans for Nigel
    He has his future in a British Steel
    We’re only making plans for Nigel
    Nigel’s whole future is as good as sealed
    And if young Nigel says he’s happy
    He must be happy
    He must be happy in his work
    Nigel is not outspoken
    But he likes to speak
    And loves to be spoken to
    Nigel is happy in his work
    We’re only making plans for Nigel

    It is a bit difficult to sing as an anthem. Maybe Papa will be pissed enough to put the lyrics up on the big screen...? :bandit:

    Checking through the thread rumours from last night, it's looks like today is the day if they are still talking. Maybe a double header of news, NG at Lesta for certain, and a new man. :)
