I have a great story of Herbie Flowers grabbing me by the scruff of the neck up against the wall. Then of him drawing out a stave and the bassline to Walk on the Wildside for me as he felt bad about what he’d done earlier. Great memories. Sad loss.

Gutted. What a great band. Missed this awful news so thanks for mentioning it.

"Yeah, the carburetor's clean and firing now, love, but I'd just keep an eye on those brake pads, yeah?"

Start with My Eskimo Friend, Mal. Listen to it on headphones with a good volume. Sit back, be patient and be rewarded. Trust me.

When men were men...

...fava beans and a nice chianti...

If this was the setlist: Supersonic Columbia Acquiescence Cigarettes and Alcohol Encore: Shakermaker I might watch it. *I wouldn't watch it because they'd be on the stage playing them. But those songs are great and capture a band at their creative peak.

A colossus! RIP

The reality and full understanding of this Russian thing will come to light in a dozen or so years. In 2016, in the lead up to Trump's victory, Facebook estimated that 140million FB users interacted ("liked" / "shared") content secretly created by Russia. https://www.vox.com/2017/12/22/16811558/facebook-russia-trolls-how-to-find-propaganda-2016-election-trump-clinton We had the Second World War, the Cold War, and I think in the future we'll call this period the Cyber War. We're in the midst of it, and because some of the Russian-backed assets are currently very active and popular within the American political landscape, we are unable to fully appreciate it. When Trump keels over, and those acolytes are finally ridiculed, we'll start to get the full exposure of this period of division and mainstreamed extremism. I may look at this whole thing with interest and dispassion. That said, seeing Tucker Carlson or those odd, British actors who have joined the slime trail to pocket a few bob (or, in the case of that smelly fraud Russel Brand, to avoid scrutiny of the British public for sexual abuse) swinging from lamp posts as a closing denouement to this whole turbulent period, would be quietly satisfying.

I think they liked the Stooges... Great, great song! Ah, indie discos of the early 90s, you were a great friend to me...

The BBC really tried to create a narrative to support Arteta by oddly showing the Brighton player kick the ball along the line after it had gone out. It was a 3 second clip and it had no context at all. Certainly not a "highlight" of the game. They showed it for no reason at all other than to later use it to question poor Arsenal having the brave lionheart Declan O'Rice sent off by that CHEATING, CONIVING, DOUBLE-STANDARD APPLYING REF. Arteta even pretended that Rice DIDN'T flick it away, and in fact the Brighton defender kicked it at him and it hit his leg. It was so Arsenal. Utterly embarrassing, and absolutely on point for that crying, cheating, snivelling, passive-aggressive phoney of a manager. I absolutely detest him. But 0/10 for the pundits on Match of the Day for saying nothing about this. How have we got to this?

Hold on, I thought we were signing an Italian player? This lad is the least Italian-looking man I have ever seen. I bet he's never even been there. He looks like a lower-league goalie from just outside Bolton. Gutting. (Sorry if this has already been said a hundred times, I'm late to the party)
