    I think it can be summed up as "If it's the end of the world, let's party (privately)".

    @mellody You're not the only one not thrilled by this song. It's not what I was expecting from the title, and even after listening to it a few times I'm not overwhelmed by it (musically or lyrically). But, as you say, maybe it will be different live. I guess I was hoping for something more upbeat and edgy. This is more like Apocalypse Slow Dance than Apocalypse Calypso.

    There's definitely a Mika in pink thread

    Oh yes, there are some horrible lyrics we could discuss. On the other hand, he can come up with some wonderful lines.

    I reported the listings I saw on eBay.

    You wouldn't say "a plan of me". You'd say "a plan of mine", or more likely, "my plan".

    It's the export/import complications of Brexit.

    I'm not American, but it's "over". Breaking your heart over someone is a common expression. Break your heart of me doesn't make sense in English (or American).

    Well, there might be .... but I guess we will have to wait until Mika explains it to us!

    Graham Roos was involved in a project with The Guardian newspaper and the Royal Opera House called "Songs of the Zeitgeist" which I think was about turning headlines into songs. It's possible that Mika saw a performance of this. Apocalypse Calypso followed on from this and again Mika may have read the book But I have a sneaking feeling that Mika just liked the sound of the words rather than there being a particular reason for choosing the name (much like the Imaginarium Tour).

    Calypso music is upbeat but the lyrics are usually a satirical look at a topical subject.

    And of course there was a limit to how many posts could be in a thread, so there was a reason to keep starting new ones.
  13. silver
    Yes - but look at how many active fans there were then. (Though I seem to remember most of the posts and screenshots were from DA )

    Apocalypse Calypso is also the title of a book of poems by Graham Roos, though I think it might be out of print.

    Has to be the Pangbourne Cheese Shop (cheese-etc.co.uk) but their delivery charge is about £6 I think

    Some of the best cheeses in the world are made with unpasteurised milk: Roquefort, Wensleydale, Epoisses, Pecorino, Parmesan, Manchego, Morbier, Appenzeller, Reblochon, Emmental, not to mention all the artisan versions of Cheddar, Red Leicester, Double Gloucester etc. Basically raw milk makes better flavoured cheese. An aged cheese (older than 60 days) is unlikely to have any harmful bacteria, if that is what worries you.

    Actually I bought some Comté this week and it was better than I remembered. Like Celine says, it's a very hard cheese, and certainly shouldn't be bitter.

    @Mayli I managed it several times when I worked in Reading - frequent trains to Paddington and then you just get the tube from there to Hammersmith

    For all those reasons, I love this pic
