ONLY a small point in a chaotic world: I dislike pop songs and advertising jingles being made out of traditional pieces of music.

Whenever I hear one of these (which have been on the go, on and off, for years) I'm told - by the chap with whom I share this flat - that I become poker-faced.

Worse - snobbish and a combination of Queen Victoria and Hyacinth Bucket. A horrid Mr Hyde head has also been mentioned.
