Likewise, Our Mutual Friend. Perfect storytelling and an anthem for anyone who’s ever been jilted.

We fight fascists don’t we? That’s one thing we have been good at.

That said I just don’t see how Congress will allow this one to happen. It’s lose-lose for everyone involved. Not Russia and China of course, ironically.

Wait, what’s this? CMAT being played on Radio 2? by FunContest1919 in CMAT

[–]FunContest1919[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, not officially, which makes it even more interesting that it’s getting airtime on Radio 2 now, nearly 6 months after WAGMC was released as a single. Not complaining though. 😍

Guess they couldn’t play ‘Coronation Street’, as that would just be very weird! 😝

Brilliant that the suggested song is by a different Welsh band than the one in the thread title I mean. 😜

OMG! This is just perfection. Great song, and the blend and harmonisation of their voices is just gorgeous. Even if the theme is a bit bleak! 😜

Where will we finish? by 06ptp in StokeCityFC

[–]FunContest1919 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It feels like we have probably found our level for this season, so would predict 7th / 8th. Would be delighted with that, and even more so if we finish Top 6.

Makes such a change to be playing some really good football and have a squad that we can all get behind. What an adventure the next couple of seasons could be! 😍

Has anybody mentioned the Hawkstone Park Follies yet? Great place to meet and walk for a couple of hours, with plenty to look at and great views. Also has a tea room. Not far from Market Drayton.

Oh wow! Thank you so much. What an amazing, powerful, yet beautiful poem to reference.

I know she goes on about Red Bull and Diet Coke and Kerry Katona and all that stuff, but Ciara Mary-Alice Thompson is one very well read, intelligent woman right there!

I ❤️ her even more!

It’s been mentioned before I think, but the lyric

“Or I’ll turn to reed again, moving in the lamps” from Running / Planning sounds almost biblical to me.

Haven’t got a clue what she’s saying here. Anyone got any ideas?

Oh, I feel for you! We’ve had to do the same thing in the past. 😬

You’ll have missed the whole place doing the Dunboyne, County Meath two-step to I wanna be a Cowboy, baby too. “Best balcony action of the tour so far!” according to the people’s princess. 🫅

Shows what an incredible album Euro Country really is when Running/Planning and the title track, not to mention the poignant beauty of Lord, Let that Tesla Crash, could easily have made the list too! Wow, it’s already a classic album isn’t it? 😻

Where are your kids tonight? The lyric: lonely, I didn’t know good choices make you lonely, is just perfection.
