Cresta, the Corona pop lorry, Fatty Arbuckle, this thread's like being in a bleedin TARDIS. You're not wrong though. Irrespective of whatever else rival fans do or don't think, if they have half a brain cell they can see very clearly the PL has been acting in bad faith. We knew that all...

I imagine this is just the shop window to drive traffic to his pages on Only Accounting Fans :-)

Think it was George Michael who it came out after his death had been giving away millions but all on condition of anonymity. On topic, if Florida is in the position at the end of this of debating whether the evacuation was even necessary then that will be a great result given the scenario it...

I spend a lot of my time in and around Villa fans. Broadly speaking I have about a quarter of them down as quite twatty and bitter, the rest range from ok to sound. It's not uncommon for the rest of their fan base to roll their eyes at the twatty ones but rarely do they call them out.

You are indeed the Usain Bolt of this thread. Sage advice re giving it a chance I think. This question of who is influencing who is always challenging for me as I'm not good with chronology. A minor example here being on Paradiso where to my ears it sounded for all the world like he'd been...

Always dangerous to give something one listen and make your mind up. As for Livin on a Prayer...I'm the problem, it's me. Thanks to the union the poor bloke has had to pawn his guitar, the poor girl is crying herself to sleep at night and still I don't give a toss about them. My own dad was...

Have now had a listen, realised I was at least familiar with Tears, had a listen to Script of the Bridge too. My initial thoughts are Strange Times has three or four very strong songs but their debut is a stronger album overall. Though I suspect this is one of those albums you need to reserve...

F**k me, if any further proof was needed that this incarnation of the Conservative party is completely off its tits there we have it.

Have just tried to dive straight into the new nomination but having spent the last couple of days listening to the likes of Kiwanuka, Black Pumas, Keb Mo and similar it's too jarring a leap. For reasons I've never understood Dylan works for me as a musical palate cleanser/firebreak, so I've...

There are times when I'm appalled by my lack of knowledge of certain bands and this Is made worse when it's a (Greater) Manchester band; I find myself wondering if my Mum and Dad didn't adopt me from somewhere in Hertfordshire and they just couldn't bring themselves to tell me I'm actually an...

F******g A (that's why you lot say isn't it?). The opener and the closer on this are the way to start and finish and album imo.

This is the underlying issue with benchmarking. A place I worked used to be subjected to benchmarking by the two "biggest and best" benchmarking firms in our sector and it was fairly farcical, for all but the simplest elements you could drive a horse and coach through the 'science' of it...

I knew all along that you cared about the little babies.

Yeah. I think the north/west african guitar vibe of the opener is a great way to start the album. It's easy to underappreciate that ability to weave lots of influences and still retain a coherence which more often than not he does. In lesser hands it would be much more dislocated..

I can't comment on the legal sector publications/sites as I have no experience of them, but my eyes were opened quite a bit on trade journalism when I had to engage with it in my own sector. Not all but a significant number of people involved were both vacuous and lazy, their main goal was to...

If you compare Masters and Al Mubarak's CVs and experience as strategic leaders the kindest thing you can say about Masters is he's somewhat overmatched. Indeed I presume he was partly selected for his pliability and the ease with which certain clubs felt they could manage him but ultimately...

Tuppence Tuppence Tuppence a bag... Beautiful song by the prolific Sherman brothers.

So for me the sequence of Gary Clark Jnr albums now goes like this 1st - Really Like 2nd - Like 3rd - Really Like 4th - Like I was going to say it's a slightly contrary album but I think it's me that's contrary. On the one hand I applaud him for stretching himself and moving in additional...

There is a huge sports news story to be told here, an independent panel of three well respected retired judges have issued a report and adjudication that suggests that the governing body of one of the most important sports leagues in the world is, at its most generous interpretation, utterly...

I think a more pertinent question is what percentage of us would he kill with the one punch he'd have to throw.
