Just watched it. Yeah, it’s absolutely ripe for their treatment. Peebles has such a weird look. He’s one of those you completely forget about until you hear his pop-tastic radio 1 voice. Peter Powell was a cheesy fucker too, but he looks a million dollars stood next to Peebles. Bar Heaven 17 at the start it’s another one with some excellent stuff in the charts that doesn’t make the show. You can see the professional dancers in the crowd sticking out a mile as well. It’s worth watching just for Ryan Paris performing Dolce Vita. He looks so uncomfortable special mention to Paul Young’s backing singers and their moves too

From the same Steve Wright school of having a great face for radio

Quite often go their places with the family in the summer as we’re members. But the food is canny dear so usually take a picnic (I really have turned into my dad ). But with all these sorts of things, the places only do it to meet demand anyway. It’s like the Gregg’s (non) controversy over the sausage rolls. The thing is people are actually stupid enough to think it’s some fucking ‘woke’ conspiracy rather than organisations just doing it to make money.

Tbf the Mail knows its audience. And its audience is horrible, insular, racist cunts

Zenith Data Systems / Simod / Full Members Cup were all the same competition and TBD is correct. It was post-Heysel / English teams being banned from Europe.

There’s loads of them Trojan comps, but out of the original series which were released in the late 90s iirc, the Lover’s Rock, Dub (vols 1&2), Ska and Rocksteady ones are top notch

If you love a bit of reggae the Trojan box sets compilations they did a few years ago are fucking class https://www.discogs.com/search/?q=trojan&type=all&format_exact=Compilation

Yes

Alreet, Farage

The Clash covered that didn’t they?

Who were they playing? The blind school?

Got her version of Loving You on the playlist (and that 👆- now).

I did myself a Lover’s Rock playlist on Amazon and had it on this morning when the twins were eating their breakfast. They asked what it was. When I told them / explained about it they reckoned they didn’t like it and that you shouldn’t listen to music before you’re born. But I knew they actually liked it because they swaying and tapping away within a couple of minutes. And, more tellingly, had shut the fuck up

Typical young uns. If it didn’t happen last week, they haven’t heard about it

Ah, yes. Krul had a blinder iirc 👍🏻 And Van Gaal went on like he’d won the World Cup when AZ beat us in the knockout stage

There was about 2 or 3 others I knew and talked myself out of the right answer where I think I’d have got them without the multiple choice. But I’ve got no recollection of that recent-ish Europa league / UEFA cup group

Andrew Pierce? The prize twat’s prize twat

I think they were at uni together

Craig Hope was KD’s Ditto

That ship has sailed, mate 👍🏻

A boss from a previous job got his skipper qualification (day skipper I think). I don’t think the course was that cheap. But it allowed him to hire a sailing yacht and do a holiday in the Mediterranean without needing to pay for crew. Just the yacht hire, etc. Even then it was a canny bit of money at that time. About 15 years ago, ie a lot more than a week abroad. And he did it in Croatia which was, at that time, the cheapest option in the Med. So, aye, even the least expensive option will cost a lot, plus the hassle, responsibility etc. Fish is right, in that even most people who them will rent them out when they aren’t using them. But Renton is correct to point out they’ll charge a fortune for the privilege

Watched it last night. It did not disappoint

Bit inconsiderate but I’m sure you forgave her

Is that Spuggy off Byker Grove?
