Well done on the house front @hunnybunny. All that and the quiz too. I watched Bowie at Live Aid. People in the crowd just seemed to be having a good time. Much more so than these days where it is obligatory to film everything with one’s phone.

The latest set of tariff letters sent by Drumpf, apart from apparently being written by a child with a reading age of 9, have offended not only Mexico and the EU but also the Society for the Prevention of Randomly Capitalised Words. If there is not such society then there ought to be one and I am designing the t-shirt.

Sinner is good example of nominative determinism.  I wonder if the Russian for Anismova is double bagel?

We normally hear from @karen68 about this sort of thing.

It’s satire.

Wales win a rugby match – check.

Everything Everything are still rubbish – check

1500 comments on the new BP site. 160343 on the old BP site.  At this rate we will match the old site in about 89 years. Surely @brianN will have run out of EE tracks by then.

Specifically, playing the autism means you don’t wear underpants card. He is dealing from one weird deck.

It was the meat and two veg episode of Masterchef.

Gregg sacked. Any comment @brianN? I don’t think we have heard anything from you on this subject.

Weird decisions by captains are catching on.

Another very entertaining test match. England lost but some great stuff along the way. People moaning like it’s the end of the world. The result isn’t everything. Wales, suck that one in.

Did you catch that Bob Vylan set like you said @brianN?  Do you have a nose for controversy?

Reckon William and Harry could learn a few things from Liam and Noel . Smoking it tonight at the Principality. Can you hear them @hunnybunny?

Miss July. She’s hot!

I remember Anthony way back when he had his Johnson(s).

Watched Amyl and the Sniffers (most Aussie band of all time), Pulp (brilliant) and Neil Old (material from 1964 to 2020!). Thought Beabadoobee was excellent too.

I watched a bit of The 1975 early on. Then they did an intro that was pure Coldplay and I was out of there, man. But I get it, they are about as good as any really popular modern band is.

Enjoyed Supergrass. They pretty much played their debut album track by track in order then threw in some later bangers to finish with. Did the ironing watching…[Read more]

St Vincent , yes.

Neil Young, Wet Leg, Beth Gibbons, Roy Harper, Supergrass, Amyl and the Sniffers (why not?).

Wild card?  Beans on Toast.

Back to where it all started. At the time the main evening DJ on Capital Radio was “Little” Nicky Horne. In response to New Rose he gave a pompous and arrogant sermon about how awful it was and pledged that no punk music would ever be played on his show. 50 years on, which of the two are the national treasures? At some point much humble pie was…[Read more]

The Adverts were not just punk. I really like this one.

Gill said he would have bowled too.

Anyway, I will take up the FIFA bashing theme happily @brianN. Matches played in totally unsuitable conditions, 40-41 degrees, two hour breaks for thunderstorms and…restricting water for spectators (who understandably just went home). You couldn’t make it up etc. etc.

Come back next year for more of this. If…[Read more]
