Thanks for all these suggestions @ernietothecentreoftheearth, Sister Midnight has not been released here yet. but it looks like a hoot. I’d not heard of Santosh either. But it looks excellent.

A star is born @ernietothecentreoftheearth. What a magnificent voice. Great ensemble too. The Lowes are a talented family. The Cruel to be Kind Hitmaker should book them as support band for his next tour. I […]

SCOOOOORRRCHHIIOOO That duet is something else, @ernietothecentreoftheearth. If the Admins find out that we are posting that kind of thing on this thread, I suspect I’ll be in hot water. Thank you for your very […]

Well said, @slotbadger and @ernietothecentreoftheearth While Trump himself is fair game, it’s easy to see why his followers and Brexit supporters voted the way they did when you read the sort of dismissive bile p […]

@ernietothecentreoftheearth Never a good idea to poke a rabid animal with a stick – especially when the spittle-flecked beast in question could well end up running your country’s historically and strategically […]

Well, I’m with @moseleymoles and @ernietothecentreoftheearth Life is sufficiently eclectic that it would carry on with riches, even if a big significant artist was knocked out of it. The closest I get is that […]

What a wonderful review, @ernietothecentreoftheearth! I think I’ll have to talk to Bio Reflexen where I work and try and persuade my colleagues that we really ought to screen The Eras Tour. Personally, I am a […]

@ernietothecentreoftheearth That wailing sound you hear is the fire-engines rushing to try and save your lovely holiday home just outside Pontypridd

Very true, @ernietothecentreoftheearth! For the moment, a ceasefire and the delivery of all the supplies needed in Gaza will be an improvement.

@ernietothecentreoftheearth The whole point of making such claims isn’t to appeal to the Tory party membership who are surely hard-wired to vote for the party regardless of what their musical tastes or however […]

@deramdaze @ernietothecentreoftheearth Interesting to compare the fates of two of the three teams that got relegated out of the EPL in. May 2001. Cov got taken over by a hedge fund, eventually going into a […]

Well spotted, E, as a mark of my appreciation, a free copy of the rules of mumbleypeg (as played by David and Graham on A very stoney evening) is in the post to you as i write

@hedgepig

Agree totally with what you guys are saying about Labour’s having lost touch with the people who were once its bedrock.

The shocking fact that Labour looks set to get […]

@ernietothecentreoftheearth

Good point. Played with The The too on Dusk?..but still couldn’t name a track off that. Moz , now his early solo singles were excellent, Suedehead, Last of the international […]

I don’t think there’s any chance of getting songs that name all the counties but @ernietothecentreoftheearth used the bus station in Shrewsbury to represent Shropshire and I think it could be possible to do […]

@Ernietothecentreoftheearth Not sure if they only played up to Let’s Dance, but he had many hits after that including 6 more top 3 singles in the 80s, few biggish hits in the 90s (including Jump They Say and Hello […]

@ernietothecentreoftheearth Fair enough, sorry for misunderstanding. And you’re right, I’m sure she sold *some* more because she wasn’t on streaming, but I think that’s a rule that only applies to her, Swift, […]

@ernietothecentreoftheearth
Correlation is not causation. Adele didn’t sell all those albums because she wasn’t on Spotify. She is an outlier who’s sales were going to be huge no matter what. People were so […]

@ernietothecentreoftheearth
As far as I know the viewing figures for Series 8 compared well with previous series. The figures for Series 9 are ‘lower’ but this only reflects ‘real time’ viewers. Further to that […]

And the winner is the hairdressers on Chesil Beach!
Thanks @ernietothecentreoftheearth.
It makes me wonder whether the nation’s political complexion would be different if we all voted in hairdressers (not […]
