That’s a great gag @Junglejim and it’s certainly sometimes true. But what is heartening is that if you came to a gig at Fasching, you’d see some fairly healthy audiences. Not just a lot of ageing […]

As it was yours truly who started that thread @Junglejim, I’ll just add a few thoughts here. I invested in a Bialetti with mixed results. With the right bean or ground coffee it does make an acceptable e […]

Wow! That’s a real showstopper @Junglejim. He was a real force of nature. A very tragic loss,

It really is! Wonderfully entertaining. Thanks @Junglejim

A bullseye there @Junglejim. Shakespeare was a dramatist not a novelist and would probably be horrified to hear about his plays being studied from reading them by students who never saw a performance. Very […]

I had some similar experiences to @junglejim – I’d add that Pursey was courted far too much by Gary Bushell at Sounds, and would be encouraged to hang out at the offices and mouth off every week. I seem to recall […]

Reading your comment, @Junglejim, made me realise how pitifully ignorant I was about Britfunk. I don’t think I even knew the term. This wiki piece put me straight on a lot. For example, how Light of the […]

Thanks a lot @Junglejim for putting the record straight with your chronicle of darker times. Glad to hear the forces of funk won the day. But important to be reminded that this sort of thing could happen. It’s […]

You are so right @JungleJim. Glorious indeed! Pure pop magic. I bought Shame when it was in the charts and I still love it today

@Junglejim He’s waiting for the National Front Disco 12″ remix

Thanks @Junglejim. Those TRIH podcast look very interesting. They even do live shows! The podcast is wonderfully user- friendly. They know a lot but don’t alienate the listener but make me at least, keen to know more.

The fact that Suarez sent them out with a handball all those WCs ago
Must have made that sight all the more fun to watch if you were from G

@Junglejim

All those interested in joining an angry torchlit mob to march on the heretic’s house, form an orderly queue behind me!

Thanks @Junglejim. I wish there was more studio detail but it just isn’t out there. Glad you enjoyed it.

Fantastic – many thanks for this @junglejim.

Just back from watching it, (no one else in the cinema so I had my own private viewing, a good job really as I voiced aloud a few epithets) heartily agree with your view @JungleJim.

Another vote for the Border Trilogy her. An incredible piece of work.

And @junglejim, James’ Hollands books are equally incredible too but in a different way. He takes the research and depth of Antony B […]

They’re the straws Dai is clutching at in a futile attempt to shore up his shonky argument

And thanks, @Junglejim, for the compliment. I was wary of this one as I knew nothing about the music from the studio. So I just concentrated on the human stories, especially that of John Loder, who came across as […]

Was a clip of Nadine on HIGNFY. If it wasn’t edited, yikes!
