I was listening to fantastic Blur record-day single last night on yertube, just because the Bride was putting away clean laundry and I was playing odd/varying tracks to keep her from making me watch Footballers Wives whilst I computated(worked for a while, but not long).

And old Moby Gil was tossed back, to fight again another day against some other angler, one, perhaps, not as mighty as me.
