Yes, fantastic write-up and context - and well done for saving the business! On February 29th/March 1 2020, we were in Madrid, which outside of Milan was pretty much Europe’s Covid central. We went for a pizza with an entertainer who we’d met at our favourite hotel in the summer (and still see...

Yeah, fair enough, I’ll have a rethink.

Fixed that one for you.

I'm assuming that song titles containing the word "Age" are fair game? "Golden Age" - Midnight Oil (from the Capricornia album)

"Minutes to Memories" - John Cougar Mellencamp

Both very good songs, but only one of them is an all-time great.

Thread Admin Notes A quick note to say that tomorrow's changeover will probably happen early because this week's nominator has work commitments meaning that the new album choice will be posted around lunchtime. Please get your votes/reviews in before 11.00AM tomorrow morning. Purely down to...

Nothing wrong with ABBA. Song after song of brilliant melodies. This one's not my favourite but it's stood the test of time (as have most of their well-known songs).

We’ve had 4 KIAs (not a Sportage) and they have all been superb. You can’t go wrong with a KIA, plus you’ll have the balance of a 7-year warranty.

Funny thing is I knew the Kula Shaker version was a cover. I thought that the Deep Purple version was the original but even that’s a cover!

Strange Times – The Chameleons Loreto college, 1984. About three months after threespires had left if I remember correctly from previous discussions. I overheard somebody talking about The Chameleons. I didn’t hear enough to know whether it was good or bad, but I suspect the former. The reason...

Acting in my position of co-deputy thread runner, I feel duty bound to issue you a yellow card on the basis that this statement quite possibly breaches rule #1.

I can't spot it.

Good luck with that. I'm sure it will be the case based on what you've said previously. I've got the first of 15 radiotherapy sessions tomorrow.

You'd be better off staying and listening and quitting smoking. That line has made me laugh. It's the kind of book cover quote that would work well to introduce one of the themes of the thread if it were ever to be released in book form.

We regularly play this video on the TV at home. It's superb.

Wow, some of you lot are heard to please. I'm renowned for my anti-indie/anti Manc music stance and even I'm surprised (in a good way) by this week's pick. PS: What's wrong with "Living on a Payer"? It might not be up to the level of the magnificent "Wanted Dead or Alive" but it's got a...

It's on YouTube

When I was first prescribed it in 1983, it was Inderal, but the current version is called Propranolol. You can see why these are banned in sport because if you were playing snooker, for example, you’d be steady as a rock when taking your shot! It would be a big advantage. The thing I remember...
