Has anyone had the pleasure of being recommended Toyah Wilcox and Robert Fripp's YouTube channel to them? :lol:

 

It's basically just Toyah parading her braless tits about, which tbf for a 65 year old are impressive. See Exhibit A above. 

 

I'd have to assume @Monkeys Fistis a subscriber. Probably a member of the Patreon too. 

 

Cant get rid of this daft blank quote box.

Very plastic though.

More disappointed in how average a guitars Fripp has turned out to be.

 

Some of the stuff he did in the 80s with David Byrne was influencial on a young me.

Hmmm… I think I know what you mean, he looks ropey as fuck knocking out shitty cover versions. You can’t argue with his work on Heroes & Scary Monsters etc though  :cuppa:

They're bouncing around man. I think they're the real deal. 

 

Of course I have the benefit of having watched more than just the one performance. :lol:

 


They’ve been doing this since lockdown they toured nationwide and played Glastonbury last year, pleased to see you’re up to date with these things :)

Just heard on the radio that some are asking for an increase in maternity pay.  It's not something I have had to look at as I don't have kids.  People I know who have had them have been in decent jobs with decent maternity / paternity pay.  But I assume this is totally different at a lot of places!

Then, the radio station put on a soundbite of a women who returned to work 4 weeks after a C-Section because she needed the women.  I am sat there thinking 'fuck me, you poor lass'.  Quickly followed by 'Well, it's my third so I know how much it hurts'. FML.

You ever considered the possibility listening to the radio causes you undue amounts of stress? ;)

Off to get measured for my wedding suit in the morning. Looking forward to the final nail in my football career as they announce at 39 and with a 36” gunt I’m not in prime shape anymore.

 

It’s a sad but also positive day, I’ve held the position that I was ready to step into the first team for over 30 years and now accept i might be past my best, it’s their loss.
 

Now I’ve hung up my boots I’m looking to take over a pub in the west end, so if anyone has any contacts let me know.

There are still bars in the west end? I thought most had been burned to the ground and/or converted into Indian restaurans/motorcycle clothes shops.

I’ve thought for a while it would be a great venue/workshop/studio type place, with the central courtyard as a covered performance area. 

 

No idea it was under threat? Hopefully something is sorted because a big part of Newcastle's history and a tribute to the keelman looking after each other instead of being left to die.

It’s been derelict for 15 years now. 
 

I used to work on the building next to it, and it was depressing seeing it deteriorate over the years. 
 

I agree about its importance, and it’d be a travesty if it was allowed to get beyond repair.

I get two lots of two months paternity leave, I have to be in work for at least 2 months between them, but I'm going to take two months at the beginning (March) and the other bit in early 2025. Also when I finish that second spell I return to work on an 80% hrs/100% pay split for 6 months. 

 

It's brilliant support and makes handling childcare so much more affordable and easy. It isn't as good as some of the Scandi countries though.

Where I used to work I got two weeks paid paternity at the paltry statutory level. Any additional was unpaid. So for eldest then the twins that’s all I took / all I could afford. 
Then when they temporarily lost a big customer they instantly made about two thirds of the workforce (me included) redundant at the statutory rates again. It’s quite a small company (c. 20 people before that happened). Funny how you find out what people are really like. And one of the directors let slip they had about £5m quid in the company bank account just before I left. Good fucking riddance in the end but it didn’t feel like that at the time.

Anyway, sorry to hijack your announcement. Congratulations, mate :)
