BACK TO BASICS (Part 9)

At 6.15am this morning, we set off from Glasgow to London Stansted. At 11.35am we will catch a connecting flight to Venice, the secret location where I'm taking Mrs V's for her 50th birthday.

I fully intend to gorge myself on doses of culture, pasta and fine wine. I believe Mrs V may also drag me around some boutiques that sell handbags and shoes. I don't think I've ever mentioned those particular fetishes before....but she has almost as many of both as I have records....

This little gem dates back to 1990, and was a sort of unofficial indie-dance anthem for the World Cup held that year. It is also the only song in the cupboard that is dedicated to an Italian porn star.

All three mixes on this 30cm single are reproduced for your enjoyment:-

mp3 : Pop Will Eat Itself - Touched By The Hand of Cicciolina (Extra Time Mix)
mp3 : Pop Will Eat Itself - Touched By The Hand of Cicciolina
mp3 : Pop Will Eat Itself - The Incredi-Bull Mix

The third of these versions is named after Steve Bull, one of the greatest players ever to wear the jersey of Wolverhampton Wanderers FC, and the local team of the Poppies.

Happy Listening

Well,

another thing Mrs V and Mrs Loser seem to have in common, apart from being convinced that you and me spend way too much time with our useless blogs: a handbag-fetish.

Oh boy!

Nevertheless: all my very best regards and congratulations to her!

Ay, Incredi-Bull mix is the best mix. Shame it was only on the 7".

Have fun in Venice.

ah, Happy Birthday to the Mrs.V! And what a way to spend it! I'm green with envy here but handbag-less nevertheless. How kind of you to take such good care of us whilst you're away :) xoxo

Enjoy Venice, you two lovebirds. It's my faaaaaavourite Italian city...

My Dearest Wife has a thing for handbags & shoes as well, but it's tempered by a strong sense of frugality and a razor-sharp eye for bargains. Confession: I quite enjoy shopping for handbags. But only as gifts for Dearest Wife. No, really...

Aah...Italian leather! Happy birthday and happy shopping to Mrs. V. Have a great time in Venice. What a terrific spot for a surprise trip. And did you make an Italian themed mix for the birthday gal?
