I bet that you look good when you’re cleaning windas

I know it's a few days late and all, but what about them Arctic Monkeys winning the Mercury Music Prize, eh? That'll be the last we hear of them, then.

Wife and I turned on the award show just in time to see the Arctics doing a live number for a crowd gathered outdoors somewhere, if memory serves.

Don't get me wrong, I don't mind a bit of their music. I even put that video of theirs up on here a wee while back, but I've gotta say that the song they did on telly the other night...

Well, all I could think was that the singer sounded just like George Formby. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I spent many happy hours sat in front of George Formby films as a kid. But I'm not sure it's the sound that Arctic Monkeys are going for, is it?

That Arctic Monkeys singer; and ukulele man George Formby
