Any Pareezhians out there who might be on holiday 8-9 July and would be prepared to sub-let to four very tidy and responsible young things (one of them is even legally adult : the others a bit younger) ?...

(They won't be drinking smoking or even bringing boys home... very serious folks.)

why do they not play up this news story?

I don't get it.

We knew the London 2012 committee had their sights set pretty high for this summer's Olympic gigs, but this is very ambitious.

Those behind organising musical performances at the Games enquired as to whether Keith Moon would be available to take part, according to the Metro. The flaw in the plan is, of course, that the former The Who drummer passed away in 1978.

The newspaper reports that The Who's manager Bill Curbishley revealed the offer in a new interview with the Sunday Times:

The crematorium employee in the western German town of Hamelin took a last look at the coffin before pushing it inside the furnace. This was the third coffin he had processed on the morning of January 13, and the body itself weighed over 200 kilograms (440 pounds). Of that, only two kilograms of ashes were supposed to remain after cremation. But, 15 minutes later, flames shot out of the crematorium's 10-meter-high (33-foot-high) stainless-steel chimney, and parts of it began to melt.

Unable to bring the fire under control, the employee called the fire department. Firemen determined that the smoking chimney was glowing at 600 degrees Celsius (1,100 degrees Fahrenheit). They cooled it from the side and used an infrared camera to track the spread of heat through the building. It took four hours to reduce the body in the furnace to ash.

Anyway, had wonderful harpist and got a capacity crowd.  Took in lots of donations at the door--that's the important thing :)  

A local non-profit had a pre-concert dinner, sold out and had to turn people away.
