| Spacer Devices part 1 |
 |
For both Asthma and Chronic Bronchitis, inhaled
medication can be effective in controlling
symptoms. This medication is given by pumps or
inhalers. The effectiveness of inhalers is not
only enhanced by good user technique (see "Inhaler
Technique"), but also by the use of Spacer
Devices.
In this episode we show how to correctly use a
common type of Spacer Device - The Volumatic.
Builth and Llanwrtyd Medical Practice has made
every effort to ensure that the information in
these episodes is accurate, up to date, and as
helpful as possible. However we will not be
responsible for any inaccuracies or omissions.
In particular if you are unwell, it is important
that you do not rely on information from the
Internet - you should seek professional medical
advice from your Doctor. If your condition is
getting worse, or if you are seriously ill, you
should call or visit your Surgery.

"Left To My Own Devices"
(Uuu.....us)
I get out of bed at half past ten
Phone up a friend, who's a party animal
Turn on the news and drink some tea
Maybe if you're with me we'll do some shopping
One day I'll read, or learn to drive a car
If you pass the test, you can beat the rest
But I don't like to compete, or talk street,
street, street
I can pick up the best from the party animal
I could leave you, say goodbye
Or I could love you, if I try
And I could
And left to my own devices, I probably would
Left to my own devices, I probably would
Pick up a brochure about the sun
Learn to ignore what the photographer saw
I was always told that you should join a club
Stick with the gang, if you want to belong
I was a lonely boy, no strength, no joy
In a world of my own at the back of the garden
I didn't want to compete, or play out on the
street
For in a secret life I was a round head general
I could leave you, say goodbye
Or I could love you, if I try
And I could
And left to my own devices, I probably would
Left to my own devices, I probably would
Oh, I would
I was faced with a choice at a difficult age
Would I write a book? Or should I take to the
stage?
But in the back of my head I heard distant feet
Che Guevara and Debussy to a disco beat
It's not a crime when you look the way you do
The way I like to picture you
When I get home, it's late at night
I pour a drink and watch the fight
Turn off the TV, look at a book
Pick up the phone, fix some food
Maybe I'll sit up all night and day
Waiting for the minute I hear you say
I could leave you, say goodbye
Or I could love you, if I try
And I could
And left to my own devices, I probably would
Come on, baby, say goodbye
I could love you, if I try
And I could
And left to my own devices, I probably would
Left to my own devices, I probably would
Out of bed, at half past ten
The party animal phones a friend
Picks up news about the sun
And the working day has just begun
Sticks with the gang - at the back of the street
Pass the test - and you don't compete
Drive the car, if you're with me
Che Guevara's drinking tea
He reads about a new device
And takes to the stage in a secret life
(Uuu.....us)
Left to my own devices, I probably would
If I was left to my own devices, I possibly would
(Uuu.....us)
If I was left to my own devices, I probably would
Left to my own devices, I probably would
I could leave you, say goodbye
Or I could love you, if I try
And I could
And left to my own devices, I probably would
Left to my own devices, I probably would
Come on, baby
Left to my own devices, I probably would

| PET SHOP BOYS Left To My Own Devices 1.12.88 TrevorHorn Prod |
 |
Reunited in 2005 with producer Trevor Horn for the
first time since 1988's magisterial Left to My Own
Devices, Pet Shop Boys encountered an unexpected
problem. The man responsible for overblown epics
such as Relax and Poison Arrow wasn't giving them
the Horn they were looking for. So they didn't
have to rein him in? "Au contraire," answers Neil
Tennant. "We were trying to rein him out."
In the end, as Tennant and Chris Lowe's new album,
Fundamental, proves, they got what they wanted,
but it wasn't without a struggle. "We kept saying
to him, 'We're making a Trevor Horn album here,'"
recalls Tennant. "The reason we started working
with him again was because of that tATu single,
which was proper Trevor. We thought, 'Oh, he's
doing pop again': first of all, a pop record;
second, a pop record with two Russian lesbians. I
said to him, 'You know, you should only work with
homosexuals.'"
The great man's sonic imprint is all over new
songs such as Casanova in Hell, Minimal and The
Sodom and Gomorrah Show. On the first, the cellos
detumesce down the scale seconds after Tennant has
sung: "He couldn't get an erection." "Actually, we
nearly cut those out," says Tennant, "because we
thought they might be too arch." "What's wrong
with arch?" asks Lowe. On Minimal, Horn ignores
the tenor of the song by pelting it with pizzicato
strings that are straight out of ABC's The Lexicon
of Love. And on S&G — a giant journey from
innocence to depravity to regret — well, Tennant
admits he cheated. "We were trying to do a real
Trevor there," he says, "and I thought, 'You'd
have backing vocals here, wouldn't you?' So I put
them on — and it sounds like Dollar."
Tennant in the mood he's in today is unstoppable.
Flitting from one subject to another in the space
of seconds, he'll marvel at the 24-hour nature and
vapidity of contemporary celebrity-mag discourse,
then veer off down memory lane about Dollar. "I
interviewed them for Smash Hits (which, famously,
he once edited). I went and bought make-up at
Boots with Thereza Bazar." He's off. "David Van
Day is a surviving kind of guy. I know he's got
the chip van, but he also tours with a version of
Buck's Fizz."
"He was never in Buck's Fizz," Lowe protests. "But
there's a kind of weird logic that the guy from
Dollar is in Buck's Fizz," reasons Tennant. Do you
ever do pub quizzes, Neil? "I've never been in a
pub in my life," he splutters. "Although someone
said to me, 'You know, everyone who knows you
agrees that if they were on Who Wants to be a
Millionaire?, you'd be the friend they'd phone.'"
They're not always like this. Lowe, cruelly
inaccurate though the stereotype of him as
monosyllabic and scowling beneath his baseball cap
is, can play to it when he wants. And Tennant in
picky, guarded mode can be a scary prospect. If
the joke's on you, beware; on him, and you can
relax. Asked to settle, once and for all, whether
it's Pet Shop Boys or The Pet Shop Boys, he pokes
fun at his penchant for pedantry. "It's Pet Shop
Boys. We confuse the issue by calling ourselves
the Pet Shop Boys." He pauses before pouncing.
"With a lower-case 't'."
Yet critical reaction to them can also be
contrary, and sometimes wilfully ignorant. Quite
apart from releasing some of the greatest pop
singles of the past 20 years, PSB have also made
at least three classic albums, with Fundamental
now making it four. Detractors dwell on their
apparent archness or snag on the perceived
contradiction between their innate melancholia and
giddy, hi-NRG hedonism. This misses, surely, PSB's
uniqueness, which is that they locate the sadness
that always resides somewhere in silliness, and
vice versa.
Tennant's droll vocal style has also attracted
criticism. "Some people think my voice sounds
disengaged," the singer acknowledges. "But I think
that gives the songs emotional punch. When people
take a song and drag it by the scruff of the neck,
they don't necessarily get emotion out of it." On
the great new track I Made My Excuses and Left (a
very PSB title), the subject of the song walks
into a party to discover his lover with someone
else. Tennant's delivery of the line "I walked
into the room/Imagine my surprise", manages, by
being conversational and resigned, to set the
tragic scene with visceral power. He once,
famously, told the American songwriter Diane
Warren: "We don't do passion." By which he meant?
"That I'm not Mariah Carey." And you imagine Carey
lathering that same line with demented coloratura
and know immediately what Tennant means. Warren
has contributed a song — Numb — to
Fundamental, though she was keen for PSB to cover
another of her compositions. The title proved a
problem. "She couldn't get why the Pet Shop Boys
wouldn't sing Kisses on the Wind," Tennant laughs.
"Imagine getting the label to say: 'The great new
Pet Shop Boys single — Kisses on the Wind'."
