Followed a decade later by Credo, currently (and likely to remain as) their last release. Their focus nowadays very much on live shows.
This is an astonishing single from the album - it has you pondering if you have accidentally eaten some hallucinogenic mushrooms.

Two teenagers standing either side of the Belgium/Netherlands border. The border is a battered blue sign on a small grass bank at the side of the road next to a pond. One child appears to be in pyjamas for reasons I can't recall.
And Herstmonceux which clearly belongs on the border between Belgium and The Netherlands. Not East Sussex.
(Actual border modelled by children 1&3 below)
Some really good stuff on here...

Becky's house sale completes tomorrow morning. Ideally we will have a moving date for our new home soon. She will soon tire of paying me £9 a night to sleep in the playhouse.
It's like they don't think we understand what plausible deniability is and how they achieve it.
Screenshot of media player app showing The Human League's Secrets. The cover features the band's heads against a white background.
This morning's work listening. Secrets is almost unknown as an album, their record company went bust a few days after this album was released.
Don't drink very often. Bit pissed.
I want an exoskeleton for my quadriplegic son so that he can fuck about like any other 15yo and throw mangos at police stations (for example).
Anyone going to see Dexys on their UK tour?
Screenshot of Facebook marketplace showing things I am selling - mostly shed tools - for very little money. Top of the list is a Titan SDS+ drill used for breaking concrete for £5.
Avoid tip runs and throwing away usable things by putting them on Facebook marketplace for ridiculous prices. They go far more quickly than if you try to give them away for free.
What's the most 90's song of all time?

Possibly before.
A freshly, if amateurly, mowed lawn with houses in the distance. A tree and some hedge. The sky is blue with clouds.
Is this the last time I ever mow this lawn? No mow May is approaching as does the house move.
Younger me used to play 'pick two random words and enter them into google followed by the word fetish' and I don't think I ever got zero results.
The CD cover of Digitalism's Idealism. The cover features the band's name in green LCD style text over the very dark image of a person's head.
Some afternoon work listening.
A times headline linking to a story written by a man: “Never mind the manosphere — meet the angry young women.
Approx. 140 women per year are murdered by men in the UK, and there were more than 70,000 (reported) rapes in 2024, so maybe stop writing now, prick.
And the woman did speak unto the hound, saying, What do you mean, normal men, and the hound answered the woman, saying, We are just innocent men. And great was her emotion
What's your twenty?
Often.
Yup.
I used to use a mainframe email package in the 'olden days' in BT that was called BoaT - which was an acronym for office automation within BT. Maybe a little bit too clever...
The CD cover of Fever Ray's eponymous debut album. It features black and white line art with the artist, derelict looking houses and sinister vines.
Today's WFH music. Still goosebump inducing. A wonderful, wonderful record.
Will you be role playing your alternate parallel lives in the room sets? Moody film noir dialogue about dashed dreams and doomed affairs?
Also, can you get me a couple of million of those little plastic clips please?
I am nearly in Hull. It is then just the trivial matter of finding my hotel.
It is ludicrous. You are setting yourself as some kind of arbiter of truth, mainlining pure democracy when all you are doing is providing a tool for tyrants. Read some books about democracy. Take some evening classes. Understand why we do things the way we do. And then apologise.
Because the Internet is such a dependable and reliable source of unbiased information where there's never been any suggestion of bad actors manipulating people with lies to act against their best interests?
Jesus, we're done here. What you propose doesn't enhance democracy, it ends it.
You're simply building a tool to further the aims of popularism. That's not democracy. It's the politics of who shouts loudest.
Why? They are not elected to follow the will of their constituents. They are elected to act in our best interests. Unless constituents have curated access to the appropriate evidence and information they're not informed enough to have valid or worthwhile opinions.
It seems far more like to simply sew discord for no benefit. We do not expect MPs to blindly follow public opinion and so any statistic you might publish regarding that is entirely irrelevant. You may as well ask the public to opine on their MP's choice of breakfast each day.
You're fundamentally misunderstanding how our democracy works. We don't elect MPs on that basis, they are not there to follow public opinion on every matter. This isn't a flaw, it is by design.
