Congratulations, whilst few would have argued with your evaluation of the first half, you will now be joining the bloke who left Leicester early in NSC Gold.

Thanks loads. I wasn't aware of that and am chuffed to hear about it.

I've bored several times on here about how absolutely wonderful Microdisney were. So few people noticed.

Okay, Frank Sidebottom was a bit of a laugh, but Chris Sievy wrote some f-ng great pop songs and in another, more enlightened dimension was at Live Aid whilst Simon Le Bon was cavorting around with a big papier machet head on.

Good job, or the residents of 22 could have got some visits from some right seedy characters.

The inspiration for Facination Street is apparently Bourbon Street, New Orleans. Telegraph Road does exist. It goes through Michigan. Knopfler reportedly wrote it on the tour bus while travelling the road.

Glasgow G2 3NW/X

After @el punal 's request for songs that reference US states, can we provide an A-Z Guide to Music's thoroughfares? Name songs that reference Streets, Avenues, Roads etc. Extra kudos if the street is real and you can map it to a city, town, post/zip code etc. Start in Belfast BT5 5NT And...

But a Scot did the job for you...
