No doubt the pearly gates are charging Disneyland prices

Wiki You are still the benchmark of quality

It is indeed utterly brilliant and again so influential on it's and future generations. I bought a copy of the repress the other year and still play it reasonably regularly. Good choice @tonyh29would obviously hate it. Always the benchmark of quality

I thought this too the other week but my cheap places have gone up in price but oddly others have come down, prices round here are changing but it isn't a global rise, I can still buy diesel at 138p per litre, just in different garages to where I was previously buying it because they e come down and the others have gone up. It’s very odd

Philistine

Didn't Zinchenko only return to training since his injury towards the end of last week?

Gabriel in my starting 11 with Baldock set to replace him if he doesn't play. Andersen of Palace is relegated from first team duties to last place on the bench for this week. I want to see if Gabriel plays this week before making any decision, so barring any injury news I'm rolling transfers this week even if it means I'm paying more for Maddison if I downgrade from Bruno. My Gabriel replacement I'm yet to decide on (if needed as it's very tricky to find a defender I actually want aside from Saliba)

The cliche used to be third album, not sure when it changed to difficult second album. A lot of bands used to have enough material for a couple of albums when they started releasing albums so the second album was usually just a continuation of the first with maybe better production and a bit more development to the songs over time. The third album used to be the problem because they hadn't written anything new in ages and were sort of forced to. The second continuation of the first album seems to have been skipped now as people release material far earlier in their careers Anyway back on topic. Brum's finest post-punk debut? The magnificent Au Pairs and their debut Playing with a Different Sex. If you've never heard this album, you really need to The album has one flaw IMO and that is the inclusion of a rerecorded It's Obvious (their breakout single), a great song but it was re-recorded to fit in with the album's overall sound. The single version is better and they should have just used a different song. If you were unaware of the single, it's fine but if you were aware, One of the albums bits of genius is the obscure Bowie cover version, Repetition. It was years later I discovered it was a cover because it absolutely fits into the albums whole political ethos, you'd have no reason to suspect it was written by someone else The other really impressive thing about the album is, that after 2 singles, the band produced this themselves. The production is a good number of steps up on the singles, you really would be under the impression that they'd used a producer Still listen to this album today (I own three copies!), even though some of the political themes are now completely dated. Also highly influential on what followed, the Gang of Four got all the plaudits, the Au Pairs over time have influenced far more

The Rodri one is hilarious though, everyone jumping on a DM because he had a good week

Complete and utter hipster pick Wire - Pink Flag Probably the most influential album of the original UK wave of punk albums REM, Blur, Minor Threat, Sonic Youth, Lemonheads, Elastica.... this list could go on forever

Pleased with the Childwall one as it counts as a blocker on my player

Who? I'm still of the opinion that they are utterly generic and unmemorable. Have they done anything since?

Wordle 788 4/6 Could have been a 5 for me too 50/50 on the 4th and I chose correctly for once

I usually find it’s best to do some research before forming an opinion So yes, I think you may have cracked it Just to save you actually cracking open a spreadsheet though, let me introduce you to the concept of a search engine, it might save you some time Joseph Rowntree Organisation

This is nonsense, without the poor the Tories wouldn't have been re-elected in 2019. Do you have any statistical analysis to back up this spurious claim?

Might as well be a vegan

They are wrong. pay rises are not fueling inflation. There is some supply side inflation but most of us also suspect there is margin boosting across many sectors. Inflation is actually causing wage rises not vice versa

clamping down in what way that is legal?

You know its true

These are obviously euphemisms for cut your ears off before you listen I am now a broken man Non-reggae artists releasing reggae albums is always suspect, when the genre is Dancehall, a form of reggae I really am not fond of.... When its an action movie actor thinking he's a musician and he can afford to buy in one of the biggest female dancehall stars of her generation. Jesus wept, he's (and she) are singing about punani and kitty FFS How does Dancehall fit in with his "spirituality" and Buddhism? Ah f*** that is possibly the worst thing I've heard this week and I've heard Beatles songs

Wordle 787 4/6

81 pts and second place in my Money League. Perfectly happy with that

Agreed but he still improved it and amplifies how dreadful the original lyrics actually are, so at least be thankful for that

I'm phoning the IRS to investigate him again over that

Agreed, I'm more likely to keep Pedro on my bench that Estu during that period. That run is why I only wanted two Brighton players in my team
