Mikey Dread - Silicone on Sapphire (from Sandinista! Project)
Chuck Prophet live versions of Train in Vain, Guns of Brixton & Jimmy Jazz
Lucinda Williams - Straight to Hell

Well, poop, Avenue 5 was cancelled. Wonderfully insane. Alas.

I'd completely forgotten about this show. Didn't even know a S2 existed so I have that to look forward to at least.

5. Half Man Half Biscuit - All I want for Christmas is a Dukla Prague Away Kit

4. Marty Robbins - A White Sport Coat (and a pink carnation)

3. A Love Supreme - Niall Quinn's Disco Pants

2. St Cecilia - Leap Up and Down (wave your knickers in the air)

1. Kirsty MacColl - In These Shoes?

Episode idea: Under pressure from a town council gone mad with power, Basil needs to put in new toilets but can't find ones that will satisfy the environmentalists, the transgendered, and a Polish gang that runs the streets. Hilarity ensues. The filling out of the gender section on the check in for...

In E1, asked by inquisitive guests as to the whereabouts of Manuel, Basil claims he bought himself a big fuck off retirement home down in Devon with all the money he'd saved over the years but later his daughter drunkenly gives it away that Manuel got deported after Brexit because he'd never filled ...

A Fawlty Towers remake in the works: https://variety.com/2023/global/news/fawlty-towers-revival-castle-rock-john-cleese-1235515583/ And when it bombs, Cleese can blame the woke mob and CRT and drag queen groomers etc etc. Maybe it will put an end to all the "Fawlty Towers would never have been made...

I also wonder what JL's attitude was there that night. Was he acting the diva that night? Which is to say, did he encourage the barman's surly behaviour in any way by being in Johnny Rotten mode? I'm not putting all the blame on him by any means, but, especially back then, he was a button-pusher. R...

"Four Enclosed Walls"? I'll look it up. That's a complete guess on my part, given the time period of the song and its title. Right album but Francis Massacre is the tune.

I think that it all goes back to the early 80s when he was put in Mountjoy prison. https://www.irishmirror.ie/news/news-opinion/paddy-clancy-tale-johnny-rottens-6981133 I think you're right, John always carried a bit of resentment about how he'd been treated there and also his mother before him, va...

Hadn't heard that. He should have written a song called Dublin Dungeon He definitely wrote at least one song about it though can't recall the title, just remember the line where he's before the beak and pleads not guilty.
