The joys of stupid computer databases!

I am going to see Lloyd Cole tomorrow night, so I had a look at his latest album on Amazon just now.

Amazon has this little facility that tells you other things you might be interested based on whatever object you are looking at just now.

This always plays silly games with me. For instance, I was once looking at Bobby Hutcherson's CD "Oblique", and Amazon told me I might be interested in a perfume called "Oblique". Because obviously I am interested in things called "Oblique". (Or maybe I just like being oblique.)

Anyhow, please guess what Amazon thought I would be interested in just because I was interested in Lloyd Cole.



"Lloyds TSB Online". And "Find Lloyds TSB Poor Credit Remortgages".

Because they have a similar name to Lloyd Cole. So I must be interested, mustn't I?

There must be a fopp in Glasgow - progmeister keeps on complaining about leaving lots of money there....

There's one on Union Street in town and one at the top of Byres Road. I am a regular in both, where many fine CDs can be purchased for as little as five of your pounds.

Oh, there's at least two - one of them has been on Byres Road forever and a day, and I'm always spending a fortune there.
