Scoundrel Days by A-ha. Still brilliant and hugely underrated.
Utterly love it. But The Verve and Lathums are from Wigan not Manchester. The fact that Wigan has been stuck in Greater Manchester is a sore point for many Wiganers.
Unfortunate place to crop the 'R' on 'Rocksucker'.
As a British citizen, I can speak for the nation when I say that, despite his horrendous crimes, his ranch dressing will be sorely missed.
I hope as Tommy Robinson flees Dubai he settles in the first safe country he arrives in

Jeffrey Epstein emailing Peter Thiel: Finding things on their way to collapse was much easier than finding the next bargain. ... Return to tribalism. Counter to globalization. Amazing new alliances.

RIP #Mani Used to see him regularly at our local in Blackburn, in the early 90s, as well as at countless gigs since. A lovely bloke and a bass legend. Gutted.
