    Mainly TV and radio, like all the other old(er) gits here. Top of the Pops, August 1979... up until then, there hadn't been anything musically that really moved me, but suddenly there was this https://youtu.be/qU7pIVt29Bw?t=1495 and my world changed. After that I started opening my ears. While my mates would be listening to Thomas the Vance and his Friday Rock Show, I was tuning into Capital for David Rodigan's 'Roots Rockers'.

    Yes and yes. 3.5 large for this when Limelight will do an infinitely better job of it for one fifth the price? I don't think so somehow.

    If I ever take my car to mainland Europe again, I am definitely getting one of these. image.png.94142e7aabd631515fa79ed1f2e6ff2b.png

      The people who run the UK are voted in by the people who vote in the UK; therefore, by association, the people of the UK must be idiots too.

      OTOH, France is a beacon of liberal thinking.

    The famous 'This England' speech from Shakespeare's Richard II is much beloved by demented flagwavers:

      "This precious stone set in the silver sea,
      Which serves it in the office of a wall,
      Or as a moat defensive to a house,
      Against the envy of less happier lands,
      This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, 
      This England    ."

    How many of them know that the speech continues thus:

      "This dear dear land is now leased out
      Like to a tenement or pelting farm:
      England, bound in with the triumphant sea
      Is now bound in with shame,
      With inky blots and rotten parchment bonds:
      That England, that was wont to conquer others,
      Hath made a shameful conquest of itself    ."

    Shakespeare knew.

      Who are these demented flagwavers that I know not about?

      Tarring? Not at all. I didn't say they were all demented, did I..? There are flag wavers and there are demented flag wavers.

      Is "mented" the opposite of "demented"?

    Stinks of blatant ker-ching from arschloch to breakfast-time. Much like pretty much everything associated with that fine ambassador for our instrument.

    Me too, I really liked it. Thanks for the link, it was nice to hear it again! "Let's face it, Noddy's the biggest ram round here and he reckons he's scored."

    How do the Welsh make cheese? Very caerphilly.

    Oh yes... many, many good memories there. I can still remember the thrill of seeing SOLD OUT written across the billboard for the first time. Such a nostalgia rush.

    I've always really liked the original, but that version is an absolute belter. I bet the live energy is fantastic.
