where do they find the time, or indeed the stamina,  to listen to them?


They don't.  They just magically 'feel better' owning them.  I once estimated how much of my music collection I actually listen to: 5% is probably a massive over-estimate.  It's almost literally a form of madness...

My whole collection is Mp3, I listen extensively in the car and think I must get through the whole collection once a year.

Lordy.  At 60 mins a CD, I make that about 3.25 hours a day, 7 days a week?  I'm impressed... Grin

Like?  Sweet lord, I didn't realise we had to like the stuff we carry around with us like a lead weight...I need to look at my collection in a whole different light now (maybe that's the advantage of digital only) Wink Cheesy Grin

It's very pleasing news, but after a brief wobble I think I've decided to leave things where I left them after the Ratdog tours in 2002/03, which were exquisite.  I don't have the money or the patience for this...

First reaction on seeing this news - fantastic
Followed by - b*gger, I'll be in Spain
Then - oh, it's an orchestral show, ok, not too down about missing it.

I have to agree with David and Paul, on all points. (Except Spain; Egypt for me on that date.  Smiley )
