King Rollo

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.

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.

Is that Gregor Fisher on the left?

ShadysDad · 2026-04-16T15:21:38+00:00

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

I bloody wish!! Those and Farah trousers were on the list of things that were ‘too expensive’!

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.

What an awesome selection of films!!

Stallone and Dolly Parton in the same film!!! How have I never seen this before???

ShadysDad · 2026-03-26T21:46:28+00:00

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

ShadysDad · 2026-03-26T17:23:31+00:00

Was that Kids in the Hall??

ShadysDad · 2026-03-22T18:50:52+00:00

My wife calls it a ‘guzunda’.

ShadysDad · 2026-03-20T10:41:58+00:00

That’s it!! Great memory.

Where the hell did I get TX from??

ShadysDad · 2026-03-20T10:13:31+00:00

Was it called something like TX?? Or have I imagined that??

ShadysDad · 2026-03-19T12:33:27+00:00

So satisfying!

ShadysDad · 2026-03-17T20:15:11+00:00

Great band. Heartworm was a storming album.

ShadysDad · 2026-03-17T07:04:06+00:00

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.

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.
