    Still no @BlueHammer85 - not posted since before Christmas :( I hope Mark's all right and as somebody said earlier, I hope he realises how much he's valued and missed on these music threads.

    Q-Tip. FFS. I prefer Fur-Q.

    Great city, we went last June. Lots of amazing buildings, I'm sure you'll love it.

    When I was there, it was one of those places where I thought, now, where's my slinky spring?!

    Books & Reading Thread 2026

    There's no hard and fast rule on here. It's something that some of us started doing when the thread started a few years ago. Of course, all scores are subjective and will have an inherent bias :) But I suppose if you are familiar with some of the titles and genres, it's a good guide going...

    Just like City I've come off the rails in the last two games - missing the deadline and now forgetting to name any scorers. Shocking.

    Great song. Not sure about the spelling :) but another that would probably be in my top 10 choices for this year. Talking about DLR's Skyscraper yesterday reminded me of a non-musical memory that's worth mentioning because I always associate this album and the start of one of the finest...

    Books & Reading Thread 2026

    I got shouted at on here the last time I said this but I was really disappointed by this book. I like Richard Osman as a TV personality but boy was this book dull. The first half was full of sentences that were no longer than 10 words and it had no flow to it. I can’t believe that the book...

    Ha ha. We are basic when it comes to food requirements - steak, pasta and pizza is mostly what we eat when abroad. We've eaten pizzas in cities all over Europe. Most of the best pizza places are in Spain! I've watched GOT but the girls haven't. Seen plenty of places in Seville and Girona where...

    No worries - we also went to Cologne and Munich last year. Cologne was a 1-nighter - it was a nice trip to see the cathedral and stuff along the Rhine. Videos for both cities are clogged up in our video backlog! Cadiz is on our list, we'll probably do it as a day-trip on a future return trip to...

    Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. Well, let me start right at the top: lucky for you that you are going to Seville on Friday because this is hands-down the best city that I've been to. It's got a number of attractions that I would say are in the world class bracket, and it's a mystery to me that...

    Brilliant song and just below my top 6 or 7 for 1988, so glad you picked it. I also love "Damn Good" off the Skyscaper album.

    My next two selections:- This was the year that Crowded House followed up their debut album. Temple of Low Men had a different sound to their first album. Reviews suggest a "darker, more introspective" approach, but maybe they missed the first album's song about Neil Finn's auntie committing...

    Thanks to @Coatigan for running the Christmas break playlist. @southamptonblue tells me he's ready to go with his album nomination later today but it probably won't be until 16.00 - 16.30, depending on work.
