Well Avian,

Here's another piece of totally useless information about Druid.

Both the drummer (Cedric Sharpley) and the keyboardist (Andrew McCrorie-Shand) are excellent musicians, which may explain why they're also the two who have had detectable musical careers since Druid: the former in Gary Numan's band and the latter, oddly enough, as the composer for the "Teletubbies" show. The Teletubbies may not be too familiar to our non-UK friends but to us Brits they are a constant source of amusement (or is it just me?). Very odd program indeed.

I know of these Teletubbies... strange... very strange!

I did watch the closing credit at one time to see Andrew's name in the credits listing. Sure enough, it's there.

Re: druid site?

Tinky-Winky is supposedly a symbol of the gay community (don't shoot the messenger here). This is also appliciable to the very funny Sponge Bob.

Speaking of amusement, how about the Wiggles?

Well!!!!

Tinky Winky is purple and has a triangle aerial on his head. He's not just the biggest Teletubby, but also very gentle. His favorite thing is his red bag. Tinky Winky loves walking, marching, dancing and falling over. He has a special song which he loves to sing to himself, "Pinkle winkle, Tinky Winky, pinkle winkle, Tinky Winky." Tinky Winky loves big hugs.

Hey!!!!! This must be a first!!!!!!!!!

A thread that has moved into a TeleTubbies theme and not Kings - Bloody- X.

A miracle.

Doug Pinnick of King's X is gay.

However, none of them are teletubbies.

Oh yes. The Teletubbies.

After I had my back surgery, I was off for about six weeks (this was pre-Dot-Discovers-Moon). I would always fall asleep to the local PBS station's playing of classical (or Jass, on Saturdays). The TV would still be on when I woke. At 7am. To the wonderful strains of the Teletubbies.

The morning's Morphine would be kicking in just as baby sun would start rising.

Talk about surreal entertainment.

Anyway, I would watch them do their little dances, and watch as the busses or boats or whatever they were featuring that day would entertain those lovable lugs, up until that loudspeaker would come bubbling up from the ground to anounce "Time for tubby bye bye!"

Three times.

That's when I'd start searching for the remote, since the next show would be Barney and Friends, and no amount of Morphine Sulphate would make that palatable.

Trust me on this.

Roger -Dot- Lee, time for tubby bye bye!
