Just tried to get a cocky toolbag from Wickes – no joy. I did manage to pick up a rather natty brown one though…you could even call it khaki.

Just a thought…

“Don’t fear Bert
Bert hears bells.”

I think it’s safe to say we would never have worked that one out.

I can reveal exactly how it was confirmed to “Charles”. Right here.

So Jim Poole and Finway from September 2008 were the nearest. How was it confirmed to you Exxo? A new hobby – I’m not convinced by “beyond the BROOK of eastern sages” in Children of Apocalyptic Techstep.

Eu – flippin’ – reka !

Not that I worked it out for meself in the three or four hundred times I tried, but I am extremely happy, and not a little relieved, to be the one to tell you that it’s been confirmed as:

“Don’t fear Bert
Bert hears bells.”

Bert is a doorman who is merely tokenistic (no-one has the heart to sack him) and he simply smiles at everyone and “hears bells” in his head permanently.

I can get another hobby now.

I’m hearing:

“Daubed in …(pens????)” Which makes some kind of sense.

and,

“Becks is cold”

The first bit in brackets sounds like “Don’t think twice” to me but I’m probably wrong.

This was playing in the background & wasn’t really listening intently but jumped out at me:

The second ‘Powered by bright waistcoats and bibs’ sounds like ‘and divs’

As in a stupid person, recently discussed on the Jarge Armani page

It seems to have a harder attack to the sound than B produces. He even seems to emphasize it slightly.

Maybe Exford needs to put it through his slowed down CD machine.

I think we’re getting somewhere with this one and we’ve got to keep going. Perhaps using ever more sophisticated sonic equipment for isolating those BV frequencies (which rules me out). We’re getting warmer, but not quite there. My best shot with my shite stereo at the moment is:

Don’t Feel hurt, Red Cross Box, Clipboard and Chit
First in’s Bones (meaning = the medics will always get in first?)
Come be my Queen of Quick wit.

I do sort of think it could help to see them as four lines which follow on from each other, like the “I don’t pay, I am the king of hi-Vis” and maybe, just maybe, the clue is in the fact that this character is talking to a woman who would also like to get in the gig, and saying ‘come with me, I can help you get in darlin’ …’

This is the big one for me.

Together in ’09 we can crack this choral conundrum !
