Nice songs and a great performance.  Oh.  And a nice kitchen.  :D  Ashley Madison was my favourite - it rather made me laugh it did.

Yes they're great lyrics aren't they?  Paul thought they weren't really suited to the tune though, so he gave me permission to write my own tune, which I've recorded here.  Unfortunately there are errors in the piano part so I can't submit it for review just yet, but you might like a sneak preview - I've performed it live twice now and it seemed to go down well.

A very different version!  :D  Reminiscent of Victoria Wood or Richard Stilgoe.  How about singing it in a posh 1930s accent (if you can do such a thing)?
