Jock Rock #3 : The Hair Bear Bunch From Dunfermline

Nazareth with This Flight Tonight from the album Loud'N'Proud.

There was a time during my schooldays where it almost became compulsory to carry a copy of a Nazareth album, usually Razamanaz or Loud'N'Proud, under your arm. The band themselves never quite made it as big as they probably deserved to though they were pretty successful.

A later lineup of the band included ex SAHB guitar maestro Zal Cleminson.

The band are currently involved in some second hand chart action after a riff from their track Hair Of The Dog was sampled by Girls Aloud on the single Sexy! No No No. Bizarre...

There are some things in this world that seem to have been invented for reasons that I don't understand, but this, pure genius.

The Pecking Order

Only a week and half left at my current employer so I am currently in "knowledge transfer" mode - tell a bunch of people a bunch of stuff that you know that they are not going to remember and then walk off into the sunset.

My decision to leave for pastures new was completely vindicated today when I was witness to the following telephone exchange between my line manager and his boss :

(5 minutes into conference call)

MLM : Yes, and we really need to agree how to move forward on this key issue. What do you think about...
HB : Sorry, we are going to have to talk about this some other time. I have to feed the goat.

"Feed the goat" isn't a euphemism by the way, he really was going to feed his goat.

If MLM is further down the pecking order than a pet goat, where the fuck does that leave me?
