Happy "9/11 was all about ME!" day to all who celebrate (and by jiminy there's a fair few!).

Honestly? You'll never get elected in Clacton with anything other than a WWII-tinted view of "patriotism". I have always supported Universal Suffrage, but when you see some of the Vox Pops from Clacton and various "Protect Ar Wimmin" rallies you do despair. Kudos to anyone who tries, though.

The rule when I was still sort of Catholic was "watch out for the converts, they're a bit keen."

Misplaced Childhood, definitely, although as well as owning all Marillion's albums with Fish, I also had all Dire Sraits' up to Brothers in Arms (on vinyl, even though it was so many people's first/only CD at the time!)

Tommy, definitely. Ground-breaking brilliance (though not in the same league as Who's Next). Harrison's album is a bit patchy, Chicago just aren't my thing, and Clapton too much of a technician. You want guitar with feeling? See my man Carlos Santana.

The game was gone before this kicked off. Inappropriate venues /times, matches in 1/4s for tv ads, a half time show in the final - and a fucking peace prize for 🍊. Infantino can rot in hell next to 🍊 . In the grand scheme of things, ⚽ doesn't matter. Thing is, for billions of us it really does.

No worries!

You know Wayne was a massive racist, homophobic and severely right wing, don't you? I get the feeling he'd be a shoo-in for the Mango Mussolini's inner circle.

Honestly, Fledermaus, I wouldn't want to be going over there under the present regime. There's so much wrong with the WC, but outside of that there is a lot of unrest among the US citizenry, and these fuckers have guns. I wouldn't feel safe, given the 5yr SM history demand covers a lot of activism..

Happy Dead Trump Day to all who celebrate. Come on, you Cosmic Ordering Peeps - Manifest this! (Please note, this post may be intentionally inflammatory, and not reflective of my true opinions.) (Please also note, it's not. Sooner he goes, the better for us all. Cosmic wish list, now, please!)

Succintly sums up what is wrong with our beleaguered nation. Trying to pander to reform voters has left Labour's legacy one of shame.

Oh God, yes!

Bought it on day of release, for 3.99. Saw them live on this tour, at Glasgow Apollo, 4.50 top price ticket. Things sure have changed..

Italy to replace Iran in the World Cup? Just F*ck Off! On second thoughts, they can replace us (Scotland). I'm totally scunnered with the decline of a tournament we used to get excited about before it started being awarded to non-footballing autocracies. Enjoy your empty hotel rooms and stadia!
