Fiona Apple: Why Try To Change Me Now

The lyrics to the song:

Why Try to Change Me Now
Frank Sinatra

I’m sentimental
So I walk in the rain
I’ve got some habits
Even I can’t explain
Could start for the corner
Turn up in Spain
But why try to change me now

I sit and daydream
I’ve got daydreams galore
Cigarette ashes
There they go on the floor
I’ll go away weekends
Leave my keys in the door
But why try to change me now

Why can’t I be more conventional
People talk
People stare
So I try
But that’s not for me
Cause I can’t see
My kind of crazy world
Go passing me by

So let people wonder
Let ‘em laugh
Let ‘em frown
You know I’ll love you
Till the moon’s upside down
Don’t you remember
I was always your clown
Why try to change me now

7362 acres of Mull of Kintyre for a mere £3 Million?

A country estate made famous by Sir Paul McCartney’s song Mull of Kintyre has been put up for sale. BBC News

Carskiey Estate is an idyllic getaway spot with over 9 miles of dramatic coastline and a climate that is cushioned by the Gulf Stream. 7,362 acres and includes the Mull of Kintyre, one of Scotland’s renowned land masses which attained international recognition as a result of the Paul McCartney song.
Occupying the south western section of the Kintyre Peninsula, it includes the sandy beaches of the crescent-shaped Carskey Bay and the rugged cliffs of the western end, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
I ought to hurry and buy it up quick before somebody else grabs this piece of prime real estate.

A Bed Tailor-Made For Insomniacs

It’s a haven of a bed from French designer Mathieu Lehanneur.

A creation based on extensive physiological studies of people who suffer from chronic insomnia.

Sound. Light. Temperature.

All 3 factors affecting sleep are carefully controlled in this ‘Once upon a dream’ bed.


Curtains automatically close. The temperature and lighting levels are gradually lowered.

Gentle white noise blocks out external sounds.

Within fifteen minutes the light dims from 1000 Lux to 0.

Once Upon a Dream is designed for champagne maker Veuve Clicquot’s hotel, in Rheims, France. widn

A Mildly Excessive GTI

VW names it Golf GTI Excessive.
The name is dramatic sounding but the mods are anything but.
What do you get?
  • a wider track and 30mm wheelarches. each.
  • beefier 370 mm diameter brake discs (310 mm rear)
  • new 19-inch flow-formed BBS motorsport-derived alloy wheels
  • stiffer suspension springs and dampers
  • The 2.0-litre TSI engine is left unchanged - (this is what I mean – How can it be justifiably named excessive?)
  • a free-flowing exhaust system raises power from 210 PS to 214 PS torque rises from 206 to 211 lbs ft
  • a deep front splitter and a pair of revised airdams either side of the front grille
  • a new rear diffuser framed by a set of titanium-tipped exhaust pipes
  • a redesigned wing mounted above the rear window
  • redesigned bucket seats with integrated headrests
