Nail meets head @Paul-Wad

I think Teen Spirit us a great idea. I could hear that riff played on violin.

Nice to see you back here @illuminatus. Not see you for ages! All good?

I think they do actually@chiz, if only as a barometer of the national mood. Not a great one but a useful one.

Yep, same and same. I was out canvassing for the LDs last night and we did about 30 houses of whom all were supporting the LDs other than one “I’ve never voted in my life and I’m not starting now”, one Labour […]

School sport gave me a hatred of rugby which survives to this day. I won’t watch it on telly and when Twang Jr played it and I had to attend occasionally (with enormous reluctance) I found the same fat red faced […]

I like them. They seem to release an album every two weeks to me.

You scamp.

Get out of here. Marillion FFS.
