Friend of mine plays cornet and has played the Glasto main stage several times on a Sunday morning. Gets an access all areas pass. Pretty sexy.

So your real fess is that you are a total cunt?

We used to sing that as kids, mainly so we could say “a penis” and not get into trouble.

Can’t you, you know, just sit next to her / behind her, and talk to her. Build up from day one’s “Bit damp today.”

RaR was launched after comments from Eric Clapton, let it not be forgotten.

This happens at all levels. Years ago, we had long battle with local council, reviled by its politicians. When it fell, not one of them had ever supported it. Soon, it was they that brought it down, not us. Doubtless MAGA will soon be saying they knew he was a fraud and it was they who fought him.

Why does the insane one’s mad image have a Demogorgon dropping from the sky with the human troops? I know he’s turned the world upside down, but this seems a step too far.

On a controversial note, possibly the only good song they did. (Followed by Neat Neat Neat).

A friend of mine got married there. Shame the marriage wasn’t as lovely as the building! (His next one was in Istanbul, which had the edge on Chiswick).

Insulting to babies and stupid people,
too.

If he was the nutter in the pub (which he is) you’d not even honour him with with “waaaah!” You’d get your
pint and walk off. He wants the “waaahs.” Ignore him. (We should have a sweep on the first world leader who, mic’d up, accidentally calls him a mad cunt live on air).

Hello from Congleton. We have a plaque to John Bradshaw. Local boy done well.

I never listen to NB and think “a bit dull” would flatter them, but the documentary on Netflix is worth a watch. They’re nice boys and work hard. (I’m big into Smag Pa Dig Selv’s new album This is Why We Lost just now. You should take a listen). (I’m not in the band).

I play drums. Some songs are as you expect, some surprise with their musicality - - The Subways for example - but some songs are so mind crushingly dull you make your band promise there’ll be no more Oasis covers.

This is true. You can defend Nickelback and Coldplay to some extent, but the SPs are just a pub band mysteriously got big.

That takes me back! I remember going to see a punk band and half the crowd were in full punk regalia (ripped Ts,
pins, bumflaps) and next week Motörhead (first or second tour) and the same people in jeans and Ts.

A few years ago the company hired a trainee, and the first time I spoke to her, a
light bulb lit up in my head. Twenty years later, we’ve been married 16 years and got two kids. (My ex wife probably thinks less of this story).

I do, and he’s local to us so we get it even more! We’ve got Harry Styles now as well.

We went backpacking round Cuba and in these quiet little villages we’d go to the casa de musica and more than once someone came out and sang Angels. You can never escape.

Not a fan, but not true. Most of his albums are sold outside the UK. True, poor sales in US but it is untrue to suggest he is a UK star.

I stand by my opinion. Terrible plot, bad graphics, music wasn’t K-pop. It wasn’t what it claimed to be and it wasn’t very good. I mean, some people claim Kiss are a band and not a money-making franchise, but doesn’t make them right. (You’re going to be a Kiss fan, I can see it coming)

My daughter is K-Pop mad and says it’s not K-Pop and that lead single “Gold” is shit. If she’s annoying me, I raise this in conversation. Not surprised it was a surprise success, either - it’s absolute bollocks and fails on every level.

I use it to check stories (a second sub if you like) but for writing, it’s woeful. It’s also really annoying, the bullshitting, incompetent self-aggrandising arsehole who think they have talent that we’ve all worked with at least once.

I happily spend an hour on a batch file that saves me the teeniest amount of work. It all adds up. My most recent was a batch file to back up all the other batch file. I called it Mother Hen.

Can one hand cheat on the other?

Just listening to the Amsterdam Klezmer Band and Smag Pa Dig Selv, two mad bands who’d be great on The Word.

I’d pay to see Quimp.

I wanted to have no name and have the audience pick one each gig but was voted down.

Been in bands, the name is always hard. You spend ages rejecting names and then one that’s less shit than the rest comes along and you’re so relieved, you take it. Look at Death Cab for Cutie, just a holding name until they thought of something better, then they took off and are stuck with it.

I’ve had three. One went down badly,
two others went ok. A few not published.

He’s lying and he knows he’s lying. He looks at the interviewer reeling off the trivial stuff, like knowing about golf and wrestling, but looks away when he gets to the lie about Trump knowing the first thing about anything relating to his actual job. It gives the slipperiness of eels a bad name.
