Thing is, he had a point Oh and he was paraphrasing W C Fields

Pep being Pep. I fully expect Foden to be in the team next week Ortega as a £4mil bench option is seriously tempting

I’m still up for this

Ok so you dislike a record label, I can dig that but I don’t understand how you can not like something that has no definition See you don’t like soul music, I can even understand that. Northern Soul is about as useful as Britpop as a definition of a type of music. I don’t understand how you can dislike something so nebulous.

Neither of these is a genre of music. One is a record label dealing in primarily Soul records (admittedly with a particular production sound) the other is just obscure Soul records they used to play in clubs in pie eating land to punters on amphetamines. Northern Soul, could easily be Soul Rare Grooves or even Landfill Soul it has no unifying feature apart from shit sales when it was released

Unusual playing on a Sunday for me but that took longer than my espresso to work out. Enjoyed that Wordle 778 4/6

This would appear to be a very British problem

Without looking it up, I probably have a good 90% of those on vinyl even if they are specific remixes. That sounds pretty much like one of my Indie Night (Thursday) at the State Ballroom sets

Big holes in the side mean a long time to repair if it is at all possible. Holing an oil tanker is another level of oh shit for Russia, the drones instinctively keep the navy in port but attacking an oil tanker adds a whole new level, the navy will need to protect them, the price of Russian Oil exports may well have just shot up as a result? Maritime insurance and wages for such vessels will just have shot sky high, not the Russian ones but all the other countries that are still running oil from Russia…

Another one @mjmooney Three Day Week In 1973 Britain was still a nation of outside bogs, tens of thousands were housed in wartime pre-fabs… strikes, inflation and oil shortages laid Britain low. Soundtracking the decline were mavericks armed with fuzzy guitars, a primitive synthesiser, drums made of dustbin lids and a black sense of humour. …. Includes The Kinks, The Troggs, Lieutenant Pigeon (not Mouldy Old Dough), Cockney Rebel (again not…) The Sutherland Bros Band (yes the original much better version of Sailing) Mungo Jerry (again not…) Hawkwind and even David Essex

The missus moaned about my 70s experimental German electronic music that I had on so I went for something more easy on the ear. One for you possibly @mjmooney Another Bob Stanley / Pete Wiggs compilation English Weather Tne cover describes it as… “The autumnal sound of Britain at the turn of the 70s, looking out through wet window panes to a new decade with a mixture of melancholy and optimism for what might come next….” Includes Caravan, Alan Parker, Van der Grasf Generator, Daevid Allen and a bunch of acts I’ve never heard of but it does seem to suit todays weather very well

It’s felt like I've been living in Manchester since the end of June Ive just been out shopping and the rain has eased off now, just spotting but it was pissing it down when I was in the queue for the bakery

I’ve seen that clip before but it never fails to crack me up

Side 1 is the reason I've never bought it, If I see it cheap on CD I may change that

Love's eponymous debut album. It’s not as good as their masterpiece Forever Changes but a decent album all the same

He’s ace, saw him support Bill Ryder-Jones, came up from Cardiff for a one off support whilst he was in the middle of producing someone else’s album. Comes across as a genuinely nice man too

That remains untested. Also, is every single crime he’s currently charged with Federal?

Oh that’s a change up. Is that an attempt to draw out more Russian warships because Ukraine have actually now got a decent amount of new USVs. They are certainly ramping up the attacks with them in the last few days

Very casual imo

Yep, another vote for these from me, just bought a packet and they are definitely hitting he spot

As you know, we move house at the end of March. We wrote to the old ares council to inform them that we had vacated the property and were no longer responsible for the council tax and gave them our new address. We wrote to the new area council and started paying council tax at the new property. Coincidentally this absolutely coincided with the end of the old council tax year and the beginning of the new. Perfect Yesterday we received a council tax “demand” for April. So today, a day I had booked off I spent the morning arguing the toss in the council office. Computer says no woman was dealing with me. I ended up telling her to inform the council to take me to court as I wasn’t paying it. “Well the court will just side with us anyway” ”Can I speak to your supervisor please” “Why?” “Because you appear to be handing out legal advice and I don’t think you're qualified, supervisor please” The look of horror was worth it anyway Next was the argument about her not believing me but preferring to believe the landlord. I asked her if she thought that was a sensible policy and asked her if she could point me in the direction of where is says that the council will automatically believe landlords over tenants. She actually told me the landlord informed them that we'd left at the end of April. I phone my old landlord who I still get on well with. He just outright called her a liar as he hasn’t even been asked the question in the first place. ”so in your trained legal opinion, do you think you're still going to win in court? Or are you going to get someone higher up for me to talk to?” A supervisor arrives and agrees to at least put their claim on hold until they can clarify the situation. What a waste of my day off

You do realise the will be an equal and opposite reaction to this. It was nice knowing you

I'm expecting oompah band with added crescendo every three minutes

Yep someone is playing us all
