You went below the line???

Yep. Always pay more for food that has mysterious little black bits in it.

You forget they exist and then someone mentions them. I want one, now.

I’m sitting in my garden right now listening to it on the radio. Can’t be there but there’s nothing like live music.

Thank God someone’s keeping an eye on it.

As if Bob Mortimer could get any higher in peoples’ estimation.

That’s the thing about us common people. Everyone thinks they’re above us.

I have no doubt that I’ll get slated for this but … my general impression of the Stones is of brilliant intros followed by underwhelming songs.

Awesome! But surely they missed a trick by not just having the last 3 years on the X axis?

Yes. It’s when I reached that surprise twist in the story that my views kind of crystallised.

It’s not meant to confer benefits.

It’s not servility. It’s just basic politeness (which is quite a big thing, over here).

The rest of the line-up is as amusingly named as ever: Hatebreed, Municipal Waste, Cattle Decapitation, Bastardane …

I hear your pain … although one of the things that is making my job more complicated is the number people getting LPA for people that would never have had the mental capacity to grant it.

I’d humbly suggest that you might not be.

In that case, I’ll give way to his poetic licence.

We’re all going to die but yes, loving one another is the best way to go about things while we’re here.

Have to agree … but have you tried ITV’s X? Even worse.

It’s also a very weird position to take. Very little support across the UK population for it.

Deservedly?

Isn’t that just the beauty of having all that music within your reach, though? Like Wikipedia, I go in looking for something and emerge days later, trying to remember why I went in.

Good luck!

Level 42, though? Surely they just lurk in that dark place where people had to go before music got better? No need to revisit that.

It could be worse. My Dad absolutely loved opera.

Government Cheese, man!

All things are relative, I suppose - and this is the Tory party.

Can the contract for the driverless conversation AI go to Private Eye, please?

I was in France when one of Sting’s albums came out. Slightly ropey but unforgettable cover band in a bar belting out “If I ever lose my face in you” … still makes me smile.

Imagine the poor artists that have to turn out that sort of dross to make a living.

Let’s hope he keeps away from the knife drawer 😬

I’ve posted some nonsense at times … and had to embarrassingly admit so. As you point out, doubling down doesn’t seem a great strategy when everything you’ve said just sits there, forever.
comment in response to post
Looks like they’ve deleted it, now 😂

I wonder … and suspect he’d probably have tried, and failed?

As a Yorkshireman, from Yorkshire, I’d also consider myself as being from the North-East. Did I mention I’m from Yorkshire?

… and I’m sure they want to protect themselves from being sued. Why promote their “influencing” nonsense, though? Why not just the Tate brothers who are accused of rape, trafficking and other crimes?
comment in response to post
When do they stop referring to the Tate brothers as “influencers” and call them what they actually are?
