Just got out of a meeting to discuss next week鈥檚 themes and to go through the 鈥榯hemes鈥� folder to try and put them into some sort of order. Easier said than done as the 鈥榯hemes to be done鈥� folder is almost as big as my 鈥榮ongs we haven鈥檛 played鈥� folder. Both are much bigger that my 鈥榮ongs to be ordered鈥� folder, my 鈥榮ongs that have been ordered but haven鈥檛 arrived yet鈥� folder, my 鈥�days of the weeks鈥� folders and the one that鈥檚 simply says 鈥榠ssues and drama鈥�. Paul labelled this one to file away all my weekly ( more like daily 鈥� Paul) rants about things that I鈥檇 like to be fixed.
You will have gathered that I have a bit of a thing about stationery and I like us to be organised.
Back to themes though. Thanks to everyone who responded with themes to incorporate The Floaters into the show. These included everything from 鈥榠nflatables鈥� to 鈥榯hings that put you off your tea鈥�! This was my favourite though. What do you think?
"This might be a stretch but here goes -- and forgive me but I am a writer/editor, hence the geeky grammar connection. How about the "-er" suffix -- forming nouns from verbs with the sense of "person or thing which does" for a theme? That could cover The Floaters, Drifters, Pretenders, Killers, Proclaimers, Bob Marley and the Wailers...or the songs "The Cutter" (Echo and the Bunnymen), "Absolute Beginners" (The Jam), "Bankrobber" (The Clash), "Jeanne Needs a Shooter" (Warren Zevon) and "Arc of a Diver" (Steve Winwood) for starters."
