And lo! It was about two blokes riding to every place mentioned in song by HMHB.

"Where is Chatteris?"

Standing in duty-free the other day, musing over the gins, and 99 Red Balloons came on. I defy anyone not to sing along. I don't care for your frown, Ms Store Assistant, that's how we roll. Neunundneunzig Luftballons! I think she thought I'd been sampling.

If I half heard the article correctly, HMHB have got wind of this jape, so are adding more and more place names to their oeuvre. The tinkers.

nb10 is quite a keen cyclist himself. Certainly enough to have the reproduction of someone-or-other's painting of Jesus' entry into Jerusalem onan album inner 'shopped to include someone in the crowd holding up a "Dirk Hofman Motorhomes" sign.

^^^Revenge on the "John 8:12" bunch.

The full text reads "John 8:12, 14:17, closed at weekends".

Over supper Miss Dan the Elder asked permission

to listen to some of my Fields of the Nephilim CDs. My work here may just be beginning ... or she may have been reading the bible.

Why are ELO on Glastonbury again? Weren't they on last year?

Vince · « **Reply #709 on:** 26 June, 2016, 07:30:22 pm »

Was that another ELO? This one seems to be Jeff Lynne's ELO.

ETA. Apart from Mr Lynne, the rest of the band seems too young to have been there in the 80s

WTF is Pete Shelley playing at? Watching some rubbish on the TV, in the advert break an ad is soundtracked by "What Do I Get?" Who is the advert for? Macfuckingdonalds, that's who.

I have just confused Jean Genie and Rebel Rebel.

Might well be out of copyright and therefore nothing to do with him. And well, even punk gets middle aged – and then it can't really be punk anymore (if it ever was), can it?

J Rotten appearing in person in a butter advertising-announcement is at the very least a Lot worse than allowing your song to be used, even if it's by the Scottish Restaurant.

Been put back yet again!

But on,y to 14th July this time.

25th August now!

Guess what?

(click to show/hide)
20th October!

What the merry fuck is he playing at

Ooh, look! It's been brought forward a month!
Do we believe them?

ETA: now that I've just had a look at his twitter feed, no I don't believe it, or October.

Mr Larrington · « **Reply #716 on:** 06 July, 2016, 07:24:31 pm »

Google says it was published on June 16th. The Mega-Global Big River Corporation of Seattle, USAnia says it will be published on September 21st, when Mr Larrington will be in Leftpondia chiz. Mr Larrington will believe it only when he has a copy clutched in his grubby little paw.

It sounds like he's still writing it...

Bloody hell. Dicte Crime Reporter's finished. It's the best thing on telly ever, and it's not back till next year

I love Dicte Crime Reporter so much. My forrin telly watching better not get borked by all this Brexit nonsense

Dicte Crime Reporter is a gorgeous woman of about my age who relies on her acquired friend-family, and she is in a circle of amazing lovely women, and they really love each other, and also she totally solves loads of crimes and is v cool and drives a Saab.

I love her.

Aw, that sounds right up my street and I missed it

Ruthie · « **Reply #720 on:** 07 July, 2016, 08:45:19 pm »

I think it's still on More4, the whole box-set

It seriously is the best thing ever and you should totally watch it.

Mrs Pingu · « **Reply #721 on:** 07 July, 2016, 08:59:52 pm »

Mmm, not on the telly though, sadly.

Ruthie · « **Reply #722 on:** 07 July, 2016, 09:02:51 pm »

In that case you need a smart TV. Or come over to mine and we'll have a Dicte night.

Mrs Pingu · « **Reply #723 on:** 07 July, 2016, 09:16:18 pm »

I'll have to fire up the xbox. Thanks for the heads up anyway
