Extension request has been received by EU apparently with another letter saying we don’t really want to. Now there are moves to take this to court as not following Benn act. The humiliation goes on and on.

Letwin is going to vote for the deal but there was a concern that the govt having got the deal passed would let oct 31 pass by and go for no deal Brexit. There is also the matter of wanting to strutinise the […]

Roxy would be not far off a straight line. Fairly slight variations, such is the consistent high standard.

Well they say we are toast.

This is a myth perpetuated by the media. We could have had any bread we wanted – crusty bloomers, cheese filled bloomers, soggy bloomers. We had sovereignty over our baked goods all along.

The time gets extended because it’s not done yet. There is no set time. We’ve got to get it right. Things is we already have great bread. This new bread can’t be any better. All the signs are it’s going to taste […]

Now I’ve actually read it I see it was a return to form after the lesser sentences that came before.

I would suggest that there is a tendency to often overstate the difference in quality between the best and least good albums an act produces. That judgement becomes received wisdom. A U is the wrong shaped curve. […]

Apparently they were split on whether to have this tube protest. Those in favour argued that it could have an impact (not that kind) on some commuters such that they would look further into what they are saying. […]

Most likely Russians acting at the behest of Putin to subvert and besmirch the ER thus making them alienate the general populace. Either that or bandwaggon jumping anti capitalist twats who want to use the […]

Except it’s not in their style. At all (yes I know there’s that hook from Running Up That Hill used in Honey but that does not make it a KB style song).

No Genesis is not something to be looking back fondly upon. A man dressed as broccoli was arrested the other day as part of an XR protest. There’s a Two Ronnies punchline waiting to be written there.

Someday in the near future the gap between the wealthy and the poorest will worsen still further, our rights will be much reduced, existence in general will get harder as climate change kicks in. A rich elite will […]

Or LA, a form of dodger, a pretty good 80s Fall track.

Very rude of me to suggest any uncertainty on your part about the end of the glory years. Apologies. My main error though was to forget none of this (gestures at AW site) matters.

Who are these ‘Dodgers’ BTW […]

Morrissey. A rather recent reference. Possibly 30 years old. The reply was more about the tiresome endless vitriol for everything post 1972 or thereabouts. Shouldn’t rise to it of course. A mistake.

Nick Cave adds his tuppence worth:

Yes I was pared down all right. 26″ waist at the time. You don’t really know what you are talking about. We all listened to a broad range of music: dance music, old classics, reggae (not vile). The NME reflected […]

Yes to Robyn also Christine and the Queens Girlfriend has Madonna /Jackson/Prince flavours. Then there’s Roisin Murphy, especially Overpowered album. So much modern music has these kind of roots. I guess I am some […]

First album her voice sounded a little too sharp for my liking, second album made after splitting with partner is much better. I really like it.
