I Just Can’t get this mystery techno intro outta my head
mysterytechno.mp3 (368k file) This has been bothering me on and off for the best part of 5 years. What is this intro from. It’s a cheesy chart techno song from the late 80s/ early 90s, it’s followed by someone (possibly the woman of the BodyForm ad, “Whoaaaaaa, Bodyform…”) singing ‘It’s coming over and makes me feel…’. Since that’s the only lyrics I know (and I’m not 100%), it’s impossible to google. If anyone out there in ciberespacio has any idea, let me know through the comments/ skype or gmail. Many tas, gwyn
PS. Brand new idea for the blog. I’ll take requests for songs in the ‘comments’ and record them and post them, virtual busking. The catch is that you have to stand me a pint of scrumpy/ boddington’s next time I see you (you’re probably safe for at least 12 months…). For the first person to make a request it’s on the house though. If I don’t know the song I’ll say as much. I play all sorts from Velvet Underground to Shakira, Spice Girls to Mariachi. Bring it on, as they said in the cheerleeding film which somehow I’ve now seen 4 times from beginning to end…
Quick post before ADVENTURES!
Typical that a mountain of work falls on my lap just before making plans to go sightseeing this weekend. I stayed late yesterday doing as much as I could for various people. There’s graphic design, websites and translations all on the go and today we’re driving to Zacatecas. We’ve got someone looking after the house though. With a big stick. All you English-speaking, net-savvy burlgars. So there… Posts and pictures will be forthcoming but there may well be blog silence for a while… We haven’t got any decent road maps of the area north of Guad, so we may end up in Aguascalientes if the navegation doesn’t go to plan. Anyway, as per usual, you’ll read all about it here. Have a lovely weekend all : )
Oh and Feliz Cinco de Mayo if you’re in the States right now. It’s not a big deal in Mexico itself. Wait for September…
Aldo’s photos from Tuesday coming soon…

Lessons learned, sure. That’s how we move forward in life. But this ‘attempt’ was much more. Glorious scenery. Measuring self against Nature, but for the fun and not for any glory. It’s impressive you put up with so much ‘punishment’ of your body and got so far. MANY did less! Think of it as a 5-hour marathon, then an extra 20 mile circuit of honour! I daren’t even ask what something like this did to your bodyweight! Muy bien hecho!
Very kind, thoughtful words, Dad. Aye, it was glorious scenery and I’m glad I gave it a go. I feel very privileged to be able to try these things at all, fortunate for good health, free time, being fully vaccinated and having enough disposable income to sign up for events where volunteers will keep me fed and watered through a run, however gruelling. It was great to find yet another sprawling area of Utah I’d never properly been to before and I’m putting all these places on the list for your next visit. Bits of it reminded me of where you and I wandered in Escalante with the petrified trees, it was very different to the Narrows area you explored… Means a lot that you were following along on the app. Any improvements to bodyweight were temporary, having a fine week of proper lovely meals. Skype soon!
mighty impressive and groovy recap show too.
i made it to the off licence the other day.
Grab us some tinnies next time you’re over, skippy. Do they still make XXXX?
