Jon Horne

Predictive text takes a mistyped "for" and makes it "gorgeous".

Every dad reading it to small children has been silently grumbling about this gorgeous decades. What's the point in all the minor scoring things if you do that thing you have to do and you just win?

I remember hearing/saying something similar at the time. It was a huge hit, deservedly so.

Ford Econoline is such a great song.

Digbeth Irish Centre, 1989-ish. In my memory it was the week before That Petrol Emotion, same venue. Two of the best and most different gigs I've been to.

The Kiss and Cuddle Pistols

They look like big squealing lasses who can't take the cold.

"Rooting them on". You're obviously a real person and not a badly programmed bot.

wild guess, you're male and straight.

says "Rax"

Baffling that it's not considered a "classic album", because it's a cut above.

This is not going to be the last time I post this. Keep your diary free for Sunday afternoon, 20th July, Edinburgh southside.

When I first came to Edinburgh and Hibs had a succession of random English guys as manager - I thought I might be in with a chance of the job.

They were famously welcoming to Irish immigrants, joining in jolly games of "foot-ball" and taking fruity-coloured walks past their houses.

Does that mean Edinburgh people can stop out all night and come and visit you at 3am, drunk and craving crisps?

Another Newcastle heavy rock band?

They might be overthrown by then, and replaced by a left of centre coalition of Greens and Socialists. Unlikely but worth hanging onto the ticket.

The veterans who fought for Britain in world war two included many refugees like my Uncle Albrecht, a Free Czech. Remember that when Reform UK use the anniversary of VE Day to spout anti-refugee bilge.

Album isn't amazing but the title track is Wilko's best song - great riff, great lyric.
