Getting the hump: Hamp Jones - Pack Your Clothes (10 April 1993) greasepaintpeel.blogspot.com/2025/05/guys...

Been thinking about the number of vocal overdubs that Richard Briers had to lay down in the closing credits of Orm and Cheep, it’s like Roy-Wood-solo-album levels of overdubbing. I wonder if he did one a day, like Paul McCartney working himself up to do the vocal on Oh Darling!

I’ve seen several posts tonight criticising Jon Bon Jovi as he’s on tonight’s #TOTP repeat. I haven’t seen it but the effect of these posts is that I now have the “Sha-la-la-la” refrain from Midnight in Chelsea stuck in my head. So cheers for that, you bastards.

It’s struck me that some of this was due to resentment that despite losing the war, Germany subsequently became a big player in Europe and in the EU. When people complained about the UK being “pushed around by Brussels”, what they really meant was being “pushed around by Berlin”.
