To think that Impenetrable Gloom and Cosmic Dark Ages would make great band names.

Watching Brian Cox just now and got completely sidetracked by his script. DH and I reckon that Impenetrable Gloom are a Finnish heavy metal band with long hair and acne, but very sweet lads who help old ladies across roads and go home to their mums . Cosmic Dark Ages have a Stevie Nicks style lead singer who is into Wicca and has a penchant for wearing capes.

Yes, but only if Cosmic Dark Ages also has a tempestuous guitarist with whom Wicca Nicks can have an anguished affair and break-up that generates a lot of songs. After which, obviously, she hexes him and his penis falls off or he turns into a toad or appears on The Masked Singer.

I can see, and hear, them now. In fact, I fancy the drummer in Impenetrable Gloom.

Yes!

I was in our local DIY shop the other day, and I saw a big hand-written sign above some tough-looking buckets saying 'Invincible Buckets'.

I presume it's the brand name; but what a great metaphor for most of our ordinary lives, eh? We're downtrodden buckets that have all the weight of the world shoved on us - but we are strong and we don't buckle under that burden.

We may sustain cosmetic damage, but we cope and we go on, indefatigable as we prevail against adversity.

I fully expect to see The Invincible Buckets supporting Impenetrable Gloom at their next gig in a roots venue. I doubt that Bring Me Sunshine will be on either of their set lists; but they will be marvellous and inspirational.

Their band symbol has to be something lovely juxtaposed with something horrible - like with Guns & Roses.

Maybe unicorns and septic tanks?

Oh I like the sound of Invincible Buckets!
