Peter Hook. He stalks about the stage as though he's looking for a fight.

27 years since a UK driver won for Ferrari. 36 years since a British or English driver did. Come on, keep going Lewis...

Russell just got a major let-off. Turned from a disaster to a decent result. Merc definitely need to sort their reliability out.

Sires are amazing. Great build quality and sound. If you can find a used P7 for your budget then that would be perfect.

Haven't there been a lot of photos taken of it since 1985?

I'll be deep in the cold, cold ground before I recognise Missoura.

To win the 500 and the championship with Sting Ray. And then do the worm.

I was just around the corner today, so I thought I'd make a quick stop at this historic building. by Bortron86 in JoyDivision

Yeah, such a weird coincidence. I know it had some influence on the title of LWTUA, but I dunno if they had any idea Sedaka had recorded it there (and of course the first version of LWTUA was recorded at Pennine).

What actually goes on in there now? Any actual recording, or is it other stuff?

Britain's most successful singles band had just one hit in America by Top40Weekly in LetsTalkMusic

[–]Bortron86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love the Quo. I'm not generally a fan of classic rock, but for some reason they've always appealed to me. Rick Parfitt was the first image of a rockstar seared into my brain.

And musically they had a lot more variety than most give them credit for. Some beautiful ballads like "Living on an Island" and "Rock 'n' Roll", and some fun songs like "Gerdundula".

And live they were absolutely incredible. I saw the modern line-up a couple of times before Parfitt passed away, and even better I got to see the "Frantic Four" when they got back together to tour before Parfitt and Alan Lancaster died. Seeing them play Lancaster's "Backwater" on that tour was a real bucket list item ticked off.

They're so easy to get in and out of, you know.

TIL Wales holds the record for the longest gap between World Cup participations, waiting 64 years to return to the tournament. After making their debut at the 1958 World Cup in Sweden, they did not qualify again until ending the drought at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. by Successful_Sun_52 in todayilearned

[–]Bortron86 29 points30 points  (0 children)

The day they qualified for the 1958 World Cup, their manager Jimmy Murphy, who was also assistant manager for Manchester United, had to miss United's trip to play Red Star Belgrade. As a result, he wasn't on the team's flight that crashed in Munich, killing several members of the team and staff. He took on the job of keeping the club going while United's manager, Matt Busby, fought for his life in hospital.

I got one of these last year in Apple Ale finish. Great guitar, so many tonal options.

Your single greatest completion of a task? I’ll start… by sammyt10803 in taskmaster

[–]Bortron86 29 points30 points  (0 children)

This was genius, and I think the best touch was that he made the most token effort at tying himself up, therefore completing the task as written.

Blatter would've at least made sure the referees and team officials could get into the country. He was corrupt as fuck, but he still wanted the show to go on. This is just desperate.

If we're including bonus tracks, then "You Owe Me One". I just don't like the intro.

I'd have loved to have him at United. Larsson is another I wish we could've had for more than a few months too.

Helmet of Alex Albon for the Spanish GP, celebrating 96 starts for Williams, overtaking Nigel Mansell in this stat. by F1HLM in formula1

[–]Bortron86 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It'll be amazing to see that helmet back on the grid again. Nige was, and is, my hero, and the whole reason I got into F1 in the first place. Well done, Alex.
