If you rubbed a magic lantern and a genie appeared and granted you three wishes, what would you wish for?

Why not wish for three Paul Lyndes?

A dirty weekend with Emmy Kate Montrose, the rights to the Dolly Mixture back catalogue, and sideburns that grew right up to my hairline instead of stopping a centimetre short.

i would wish for my distortion pedal to be fixed. then i would wish for my own set of purple wooden drums with a snare that sounded great. and my final wish would be for my very own vinyl factory here in new zealand, so that me and other new zealanders could get real vinyl records made at an affordable price.

I want to swop my sideburn wish to be the same as the Vinyl Pressing Plant one.. that sounds like a good wish.

The memory that is Velvet Underground - Squeeze. Gawd that record is shite. Other wish: happiness for my friends and relatives. And a diet that works.

I would wish for a ZILLION MORE WISHES!

A zillion more wishes eh? As any good genie knows - there is no such number as a Zillion - hence you get none. Deal done.

On a related matter me and Mr Hopkins worked out that Wolves had done a similar deal with the crafty deviltwenty odd years ago to remain in the 1st Division. After all, only the Devil could have thought of the Premiership (and it generally only being won by teams who wear red).

...which reminds me of the time a few years ago when Plymouth football club were doing really badly and so the manager hit upon the idea of signing a demon. Fans and players were dubious at first, but their fears were allayed when the demon scored twice in his debut match for the club, the following match he scored a hat-trick and the in the next one he scored four goals.

The moral of the story being that demons are Argyle's best friend!

I am suffused with pain upon reading that.

I would wish all of my debt away. Then I would wish for a ten-foot- tall talking kitten. Finally, I'd wish for teal zoot suit.

After melting away my debt, I'd wish for a pocket genie with unlimited wishing potential. Finally? Hmm, immortal youth would be useful...without the hassle of drinking blood.

Gets so messy, after all;>

1) To be the wealthiest man on earth.

2) For peace and harmony among mankind.

3) To have an orange for a head.
