I have a horrible feeling @Thegp is right on this. I don’t want it to be true and therefore I don’t want to hear talk like this. I am assuming that good sense will prevail and things will be OK in the end. […]

@thegp – I used to live on Old Retford Road from about 1976/77 until I went off to Uni in 1985. I believe Sean Bean was somewhere on the Ballifield estate ?

Is this the “exercise in torture”? @Thegp A sleep aid could be good for me right now

@Thegp While can’t help you with a ticket, you can have my place in the queue. Hope you get the night when when L suddenly works out what N meant when he described him as being “a man with a fork in a world of […]

Never heard of them but that song is quite good. How is the rest of the album @Thegp?

@Thegp Hope he didn’t bolt leaving you to pay the bill

Having lost three of my most loved in the space of under six weeks beginning in late January this year, I have an inkling of the scale of your grief, @Thegp, but since all were considerably older than me, I can’t […]

I’m really sorry to hear this @Thegp . A close friend went through a terrible tragedy around 15 years ago and his reflection on that time now is very similar to those expressed by Lando and others above. I think […]

Thank you @Thegp and absolutely not, so please don’t give that another thought.

I’m so sorry for your loss @Thegp. I am glad that you felt able to talk about it here and I hope that there’s some small comfort in the many supportive responses. It will be 30 years in November since my son […]

@thegp goodness, thank you. That’s completely understandable. What else could it possibly be? Thoughts are with you tonight 🙏

As others have said you and your family need to be there for each other. I cannot put into words how I would feel in the same circumstances and I truly feel for you @Thegp and your family. At these times family […]

No words of wisdom, @Thegp, only to say I am so sorry to hear this today and my sincere condolences to you and your loved ones.

@Thegp 10 on 10. Let’s make love.

@Thegp are you dismissing Searching for the Young Soul rebels and Too Rye Aye? They are both very good additions to Don’t Stand me down. One day I am going to soar also very good. The poncey covers album with h […]

Perfect, um, product placement between @fentonsteve and @thegp ‘s posts there. Quite a chortle.

@thegp You’re right. Both on Hanley S and the notion that the Fall had soul. But they did.

I agree with you @Salwarpe and @thegp.

When you’re listening to the radio or are in a café abroad, it’s a great way to pick up a few new names on the hoof.

Of course, you can do a lot of research on Spotify […]

@Thegp If I was to pick a few of my favourites of his, they would have to include Blues for Ceaucescu; a tune I moshed to on many an occasion in my London days. The Fatima Mansions seemed to play three or four […]

Dear God @Thegp
“Eating birthday cake and curries” whilst I couldn’t attend the funeral of my best friend’s daughter who committed suicide because of ongoing mental health problems heightened by lockdown […]
