'I Was Counting On You Being An Insubordinate Bastard, Palmer'


Lovely mini-series over at Drew's on songs that sound like they're from soundtracks to 60s spy films. This really is, of course. It's a great one for playing in your head as you step suited and booted from the train arriving at Platform 17, in my experience.

John Barry - 'The Ipcress File' (1965)

  2. Shame.

    A bit of digging around suggests the kerlangy thing is an instrument called a cimbalom.

    Oo-er.

  3. Davy - have you been on those trains in London with a trilby and raincoat again. What have I told you about that? You're not a spy from Min.

    And stop behaving oddly on Waterloo Bridge with a poisoned-tipped umbrella.

  5. Can't be too careful with matters of National Security when Davy's around, Drew.

    Suggest you encrypt. Oh, and avoid the room service onion bahjis which are laced with mercury oxide. And don't answer the door to no cockerney fucker in national health glasses. (Except Chardonnay the Essex call-girl of course).
