Now that was a classic tweet

Always great to see Jeff Lynne

Every city in the UK now has the same Christmas markets selling the same overpriced tat. It seems to me that it’s all a franchised operation.

It’s purely subjective Matt

#TWOSHOWSINONE

Manufactured outrage about an issue which barely impacts anyone, all to entice a perceived demographic of voters who will never shift from Farage to Labour.
I can’t wait to see this version of Labour eradicated, they are making a good job of it on their own.

I’m still looking for the bit about carpenters Niall…

Saw Doctors gigs are the best.
50 appearances is some achievement

Boxing commentators on the radio, I suspect that’s a dead profession but by God they had an incredible talent and you could visualise every movement (and every glove that laid him down or cut him til he cried out in his anger and his shame)

I can still mind the buzz around school ahead of the Hagler v Hearns fight, and it didn’t disappoint.
Of course before Murdoch PPV rip off ,you had to wait for the council telly highlights.
Most of McGuigan’s fights involved the family gathering around the wireless using our imagination

A golden era Frank. And there was also McGuigan, Eubank snr Vs Collins, the incredible Holyfield vs Bowe fight in 93…
But the names you’ve listed were all amazing to watch

I was lucky enough to be spoilt with the most amazing pugilists in the 80’s and 90’s. The list of talent is huge. There’s been little since then to attract much interest.
Tonight was a manufactured feud around two fighters which has been marketed around their da’s!! Dreadful

Barney just pointed at the clock and wouldn’t let us in to safety until 8:30 or whatever was his remit.
Later that day we watched from the classroom window as a USPCA van arrived, and the dog was shot in full view of the children.

On a final note, Liam Neeson’s da Barney was our primary school caretaker, and his ma Kitty was a dinner lady in the canteen.
My abiding memory of Barney was that there was a rabid foaming at the mouth Doberman rampant in the playground one morning. We were terrified and banging on the door.

The wonderful Mark Cousins, of the same era, used to dish out the gruel at our canteen table in 1982. He always insisted that he would be a movie director.
Got in touch with him recently and he has a godson here in Cheshire,

Bruce, many thanks because I always wanted to believe that Tom Paulin was a great lad, behind his ludicrous demeanour.

I can’t see beyond Lee Chapman’s Mrs’ bedside table misfortunes Col.
It’s ruined the whole thing for me, and no doubt for Lee, and possibly Neil Morrisey

Hark at me not knowing if I’m Melvyn Bragg, Stuart Maconie, Paul Morley or Tom Paulin!
And not just an eejit from Ballymena!

I think that life is better for that fact

I’m maybe wrong Bruce, but I think we remember cultural moments through the lens of when we were first exposed to them. A movie or a record or a book carry with them all the sights, sounds and smells at the point we first consumed them, so that will be wildly different for folk

In some places amongst a certain demographic, I’m sure it must have been.
I was likely in a very different place at that time, and very different immediate circumstances.
Everyone loved a Western or a Gangster movie, but sallow youths on mopeds at the time felt like a trivial world away.

It was Bruce, I can remember some of the reviews at the time which mostly rated it as dreadful.

I have, once. It’s really not worth the effort.

“Warky”

Laziness on my part, and being too quick to respond

And reading your post again, I have interpreted it incorrectly, so I fully apologise Tony

Apologies if I’m wrong Tony, but you appear to be suggesting that it’s a tactical error to be opposing Trump.

Culinary tribute act.
The Kaiser Chefs.

Death Row

Who honestly gives a shite about some twat playing dress up?
Certainly not the fallen buried in unmarked graves in Flanders.
