I hope this hasn't ruined my chances forever.

Steve Hillage - Light in the Sky

I listened to the Live Herald album a lot around '79-81. Apart from the nice riffing, Michelle's very French backing vocals had an effect on me in my yoof.

Compulsion - Yancy Dangerfield's Delusions

Compulsion's own YT channel has "Ya Yancy" with the helpful subtitle of the verse lyric. I have no idea what Josephmary is singing in these verses.

Real estate dork; nothing to do with hotels. The Sea of Azov (not an ocean) would be critical for pretty much unimpeded Russian Navy movement. Also, great for throttling UKR grain etc exports.

I don't, tbh, spend time listening to them, but Sharp Dressed Man is okay if the pub plays it.

The Divine Right of Kings

Mrs Doyle, "I meant raisins, Father"

The AI programmes, "Lavender" and "Where's Daddy?" have been, for months probably, targeting journalists and healthcare workers.

When Hegseth Signalled the world "target has entered girlfriend's apartment building", Israel was well PO'd. Even I knew that meant USAF was acting on Where's Daddy info.

A bit late to be sitting on the sidelines waiting to see who's winning.

Fed has no option but to *raise* rates, even though the inflation is artificial, or the $ will tank. A tanking $ means imports cost even more and attract a higher $ cost tariff. For the US consumer, imported goods prices will go up faster and longer than a SpaceX rocket.

Am I dead flat wrong?

I'm not an economist, so tell me if I'm dead flat wrong. The tariffs could, like UKR invasion, cause a spike and 2026 settles, so the Fed might just hold the base rate. But if countries say "he's crap at golf", tariffs get raised further so high inflation persists as 15% becomes 25% /next

The first rule: no sines showing where the club is. Second rule: no cosines telling you where the sines should be. Third rule: are Jaffa Cakes a cake or a biscuit? Sorry, I went off on a tangent.

An English aristocrat jealously spreads misinformation about Franklin's progress. Spoiler alert: the sour grapes are revealed to be noble rot.

Ds fully 15 years behind the moves; if not more.

I read geochemistry (from a chemistry background) and made up stupid geology names like Trouserstite, Fullershite, but actual geologists defeat me.

The 80s synth patches sound "80s" but The Blood That Moves The Body is a brilliant song. I wish that had been the title of the Bond film instead of The Living Daylights.

I bought some fretless basses but I sound much the same (or just out of tune enough to be painful). I don't have the knack of Mick, Pino or Paul Webb.

If there's a song with better percussion, I can't think of it right now.

I'm one of those dark room, green lights from the stereo, listening to the Snow Goose on headphones kids of the late 70s.

First time I've heard this, Stig, and I thought I'd heard all of his at some point. Thanks for uploading.
