2-1 up on moneybags Birmingham with 19% possession. The old ones are the best. |

More spectral than childish, but if I can’t enter or leave Waterloo Station by a prime-numbered ticket gate it spoils my day. |

I wouldn’t consider myself sympathetic to his politics but he represented his people and stood up for them and himself. RIP John, give the eggy tvvat another slap from me. [Post edited 21 Nov 23:55]

Oooh, olives, salty almonds and freezing cold dry sherry, holiday heaven.
1970s music. I read a review of Chris Stapleton at the O2 by NW5 Hoop in the Spectator where he described his sound as imported intact from 1972 (I’m paraphrasing, in case he’s reading). As a true son of punk I would have curled my lip in my best Sid Vicious sneer up to five years ago but I’ve finally opened my mind and started to appreciate the craft and quality that went into music then. I don’t know to what extent it’s customer taste or the economics of the recording industry but listening to music of any genre and there seems to be so much more going on. I might have mentioned Mrs Sheen likes an NPR jazz station WGBO of Newark and they often have a 70s funk show on Sunday lunchtime. Never heard the tracks or in most cases the bands, but the sound is sensational - brass, percussion, guitars, singers - it sounds like there’s at least a dozen in the studio at once. What we’ve lost… |

Typical Wembley, fur coat and no knickers. We’re not just Willesden, we’re Kilburn and Harlesden too. |

I’m still willing to take up arms to take back the occupied territories - Staines and Ashford. |

Only Flo-Jo and Jackie-Joyner Kersee standing up for the Free World. There’s only one surviving men’s record from the 80s, the Hammer, but quite a few from the 90s, eg High Jump, Long Jump, 1500m, 4x400m. |

I mostly agree, but the ambition of the athletes to succeed within a system that otherwise gave them nothing played a small part. When East Germany fell, researchers found a letter from Marita Koch (still 400m world record holder) to the athletic authorities complaining that Bärbel Wöckel was getting better steroids because her uncle ran a pharmaceutical company. |

41 years on, still holds the 800m world record, the oldest on the books. Kids today, just aren’t willing to put the effort in. [Post edited 15 Nov 23:31]

Just need Danny P to show us the Irish Tricolour fluttering over Mars, or “The Rebel Planet” as it will be renamed. [Post edited 15 Nov 10:07]
