Oh my word yes #WAFR

Heard it on the radio back in ‘81.

Ignited a lifelong love of electronic music, a journey that took me from a tiny transistor radio in a farmhouse in rural NZ to the floors of Pacha, Space, Fabric and Berghain …

Soundtrack of a NZ summer in 1988 given how often radio stations of the time played it.

Bill Wyman and then 13yo Mandy Smith springs to mind immediately.

See also: Song lyrics from the 50s/60s/70s and some in the 80s can be nothing short of horrendous.

I had a go at the very point of view (admittedly with some exuberant profanity) earlier and got booed right off.

I guess so ... but they should open with an almighty disclaimer every time they speak of it.

Personally, I'd take those accusations on the chin ... it's not like the BBCs attackers are going to relent so why not just confront them head on?

The BBC reporting on itself is just the dumbest shit imaginable. And 'dumbest shit imaginable' is a VERY HIGH BAR in 2025.

Recuse yourselves for the love of God.

How do you expect anyone to think you can be objective about any of this shit?

In what fucking universe does this fucking clown think the GOP feel a scintilla of shame?

The GOP stood by, said NOTHING and watched Trump tear down a third of the White House.

Shame? WTAF? Are you 10 years old?

One of the tings I LOVE about my work colleagues in this big city out in the tropics is ... they are SO EARNEST.

My God. They are so sweet. So regimented and stepwise in their approach to everything.

Let's imagine the UK was in the depths of WW2 and it was possible to pick up an English language version of the Volkischer Beobachter at Waterloo, Victoria, Euston and King's Cross.

Yeaht. That.

That second one should be themed with a remake of Kenny and Dolly “Islands in the Nude, that is what we are”
