I have lots of Dire Straits to catch up on tonight thanks to you Wantobe so nothing right now!

I would like it if you would spell "Dire Straits" without the "gh". You see, it's not that kind of "straight", it's the geographical kind. An old expression with nautical beginnings. Early sailing boats couldn't sail upwind so they were at the mercy of the weather when in narrow straits. "Dire Straits" was a name a friend suggested to Mark K. because they were so broke when they formed the band, they were in dire financial straits.


Now they get their money for nothing.
