But I’m a very contented dinosaur! I think those around me spend enough time on all that s**t to compensate for those of us who don’t. And They always seem to be happy to help me out when I really need it

Some great suggestions from everyone here

Ann's suggestion is: Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol
Mine would be: Apocalypse - Hawkwind
Others would be:
Baby Driver - Simon and Garfunkel
Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd (That neatly sums up a long journey in an eight)
Perfect Day - Lou Reed and the Velvet Underground
Diamonds & Rust - Joan Beaz (There's a theme here)
When It's Cold Outside I'd Like To Die - Moby
Salve Mea - Faithless
Me and My Monkey - Robie Williams (I know, but I love everything about this song)
Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynyrd
Come Away With Me - Nora Jones
Down By The River - Groove Armada

Funnily enough, we've spent several hours this week compiling a playlist for this trip. Done the old-school way, but transferring an actual copy of the songs onto an SD card.

Thanks Nick - by some sort of psychic process, a few of the faster ones here - or linked to them - made it onto my list (of 36 songs...)

I have a few Janet and John tales from Terry Wogan to pass away the boring M6 Northwards.
I usually have great difficulty seeing the bland scenery through the tears of laughter.
Safe journey all.

While you lot are off gallivanting around Scotland I shall be at home with my leg on a cushion, reminded of Little Fluffy Clouds by The Orb which contains the line "The sunsets were purple and red and yellow and on fire", very much like my knee
