I done thinking.
Picture the scene. A catastrophic failure at the DJ booth. A young man drives his car through the far wall of the arena. A Swansea man. In a Canadiens jersey. He opens his doors to play the incidental music, and this is what he plays...

Dunno. I'll fess up to that. If something strikes me I'll slip it in, and I'm aware that in so doing I'm going off thread.

Incidental music;
Loads of stompers!
How about the intro for 'I Wanna Riot' by Rancid (above) for one? Makes me move.

Great euphemism for our rink, I think.
So there. No-one's going to go through them all I know, but I've had my say now. I can sleep better at night.
Just hope if there is such a power failure, it's a goalless game.
