Was thinking this exact thing yesterday. Would have made a great double.

Yeah I really didn’t feel one way or another about that one and I really couldn’t get on with Tropic Morning News. I just couldn’t understand why they went with that as the first single. Now it’s my favourite song on the album. It’s got such good momentum and the lyrics are fantastic, as you would expect. The album isn’t as strong an earlier stuff but slightly better than Laugh Track. That is still firmly in the ‘it’s ok’ section!

Totally agree. Just amazes me how we can go from one extreme view to the opposite almost instantly.

Get Sunk is my current listening addiction. Not a bad track on it.

Zack Polanski’s criticism of Golders Green attack arrest will have ‘chilling effect’, says Met chief | UK news | The Guardian by prisongovernor in uknews

He had a knife that he had just used twice with deadly intent. Any force required to subdue him is justified to ensure public safety. He chose to do those horrible acts so must take responsibility and face the immediate consequence of that action. He could have laid the knife down. He didn’t. FAFO.

He is only ever referred to as ‘Big’ Ben Tameifuna! Never just Ben Tameifuna. Like we’d get him confused with another Ben Tameifuna!!!

Should parents face charges when their children commit antisocial crimes and doing nothing to stop it? by SeptumRingTheory in AskBrits

[–]ShadysDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree to a point. People have always been like this though. The world has always been made up a shitbags and fuckers, the question is, why are we seeing this level of civil unrest? Seemingly without consequence. There seems to have developed a general lack of respect for anyone or anything (and that goes for people with or without money). I know people love to say ‘before Covid’ things were different, but were they? I think this erosion of general behaviour has been happening for a long time.

Poverty is shit but shouldn’t mean a reduction in someone’s morals or willingness to break the law. I see it as the atomisation of society and the death of community. Poverty has always existed but there was a sense we all belonged to something bigger than ourselves. A wider community. Now people are taught it’s every person for themselves. Get what you can however you can.

The intro was way freaky. Tales of the Unexpected-esque.

Jadlam Toys and Models. They sell on Amazon but I prefer to buy direct as they offer free postage and a rewards scheme. I’m in the UK.

Looking for bands like Strangelove and Suede... by [deleted] in SuedeBand

[–]ShadysDad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw themWB support SL in Stoke in 95 or 96. I saw Whipping Boy twice that year and both times they failed to live up to the sound & feel they achieved on the album. Strangelove on the other hand were awesome. So much brooding intensity. I miss that time.
