If Music Could Talk

My bad on chamberlain who gets off on the technicality of not being post-war. Cameron for his lousy austerity regime and grievous referendum miscalculation is a strong contender, but i just think history will be more savage on May. I’m currently reading Tim Shipmans Fall Out which covers the year a...

Watched "The Foreigner" on Netflix last night and really enjoyed it. Jackie Chan does well in a serious role and Pierce Brosnan gives the best acting performance I've seen from him as a corrupt Irish politician. 9/10

I’ll definitely have a piece of that.

A signed picture of Norman Hunter who I met at an after dinner speaking event. A real gentleman - & before people call him a dirty thug he was the first players' player of the year in 1973 (as voted by his fellow professionals). Great pic mate. They say never meet your heroes, but I had the pleasur...

Worst PM since the war without a shadow of a doubt. Thatcher was certainly more competent, but doesn't her success make her worse? I can't imagine more people eventually celebrating May's death the way they did Thatcher's. I was thinking in terms of competency which I thought was how these things w...

Looks great mate. Is that Leeds Utd in the other photo? A signed picture of Norman Hunter who I met at an after dinner speaking event.

I have a shocking weakness for feeling unavoidable twinges of sympathy for even the vilest of characters in adversity, but watching her pathetic countenance in the Commons last week, I was struggling to find any feeling. She inherited a mess from her predecessor to be fair, but immediately decided t...

My favourite TV of the moment is the BBC comedy Fleabag. I think everyone here would love it. Haven’t heard of that I will look out for it who is in it? New Ricky Gervais comedy just landed which looks good. On E3 of the Gervais show. I think I have laughed out loud once thus far, tittered on anoth...

Feel numb watching the coverage, don’t know what to say, it’s just terrible but words never felt more inadequate. I just watched a bbc panel with George Monbiot, a journalist i particularly admire for his integrity. His take was that maybe we should dial down the coverage rather than ramp it up at t...

Enjoying this show, great stuff guys. I tend to favour late era Meskies with Tymon so much that I end up neglecting some of these very decent earlier shows.

They're very much in the same vein as Avalon. I will check them out at some point but I've a lot of other stuff to get through first. But thanks for the mention of them. Here's one of the highlights for you to sample. He gets a bit of help from one of my all time fave guitarists on this one! https:...

R-2423163-1289666548.jpeg.jpgBoys_and_Girls_Cover.jpg Bryan Ferry put out some great music in the 80's. This is my 1st "deep dive" into that part of his catalog - but I'm digging it. If you throw in Roxy's Avalon from 1982 - it's a good run. I've not heard the two solo albums but Avalon is great. T...

A no to no deal vote sounds good on paper, but I haven’t seen a good answer to the question of what then happens in the event of no deal ever being agreed. My brain is puny enough to grasp these grand notions, but isn’t no deal simply the default in such a scenario? Failing an extension - which seem...
