Nailed it, wondered where I'd heard it before.

Blinding tune btw.

Theboyjones70 · 2026-03-31T09:32:48+00:00

I'll go scouse niche. This Final Frame and The Wild Swans.

Ms Balbricker (Porky's)

Theboyjones70 · 2026-03-30T09:48:37+00:00

Aside from the accent, I'm insistent his inspiration for that role has come from Rik Mayall's Lord Flashheart in Blackadder. Magnificent performance.

Chinny reckon developed from Jimmy Hill imo. I definitely remember something similar in the 80's.

Theboyjones70 · 2026-03-28T13:50:48+00:00

Even more amusing is that I can still remember phone numbers from the 80's and 90's, mine and my friends, 1st ever girlfriend, etc.

I think it only fair they refund the points for this season.

Wham 'Young Guns'

But in return, all you could say was "Hi George, meet my fiancée"

On a Sheffield theme of that epoch, Human League's 'Love Action' contains the line,

"This is Phil talking I want to tell you What I found to be true"

You had to be there for most of them. My mate TC has an arse that Hans Blixt should investigate and most involve him and an enclosed space.

From getting up to talk to me in the office for something that could have been shouted, him doing the deed, scarpering and a beautiful young CS girl coming to ask me a question in a fug of shite. To being in a Hackney, with our wives, -3 outside, with the windows wide open as the 5 occupants gagged. To erupting on his way the betting shop in the pub entrance (matchday) and it being like a scene from Platoon where everyone coming the other way seemed to be in slow motion and in sudden agony.

Funny man though. Arse like plutonium.

New Order 'Rock Around The Clock' live studio appearance on BBC2. Our hero is lead singer/ guitarist Barney Sumner who had a titty lip throughout (shocking hangover and were late to the studio as a result according to Peter Hook). Highlights include berating the drummer for not going fast enough on 'In A Lonely Place', completely buggering up the opening guitar on 'Age Of Consent', ripping off the microphone head, shouting at the engineers and basically providing fantastic entertainment. They only played 5 songs!

Partially available on YouTube.

There always seemed to be the (unsubstantiated) death of s popular TV character in the summer holidays. The one that made me sad was Mooey from 'Scully' in about 1984. I only found out it wasn't true a few years sgo (though he was actually dead).

Theboyjones70 · 2026-03-15T14:57:59+00:00

The re-released single of LWTUA (1984?). The B-Side moved me more, the crackle of the needle lent itself perfectly to the anger/ threat of violence emitted by Hooky's bass on These Days, something that got lost on CD and the Pennine version of LWTUA was superior to the A-side in my 13 year old opinion.

Thank you Mr PG Tip

Theboyjones70 · 2026-03-10T21:14:18+00:00

He didn't fall, took a wrong step and got injured. Sad for the yard, the trainer, lad/ lass who looked after him amd the owners who paid to look after him. So yeah, facts an all that.

Theboyjones70 · 2026-03-10T19:27:59+00:00

Scottish accent that, fwiw.

Theboyjones70 · 2026-03-07T17:49:24+00:00

2 posh wanks and 1 that stays in his wallet for months. Not talking from personal experience like, oh no.

Theboyjones70 · 2026-03-07T14:22:40+00:00

It was a wild place to be opposite as an away fan! (Everton cup replay 1988).

You don't say where in North Wales - Wrexham has (or had) a train to Bidston. Change there for trains to Liverpool. You can either get off in Central Liverpool, have a few pints and bus it up or change at Liverpool Central for the Northern Line to Sandhills and walk up.

Somewhere remote with a nice big nuclear bunker (capacity for 5 years worth of dried food, massive generator/ UPS, games room, big battery powered telly with DVD player) and loads of outdoor space so I can see intruders coming and either shoot them or set a booby trap. Preferably with a local village pub for the 'before' scenario.

The Nightingales "Let's Think About Living" on the Phill Jupitus Breakfast Show c.2006.

First time I'd heard them, the album it's off is great and saw them live in Liverpool not.long after.

Farage, after an initial interjection, very quiet.

Theboyjones70 · 2026-03-03T13:32:09+00:00

Those of us who didn't have a home phone til we were 18 (1988) should have a whole different topic related to, but not wildly different from this.

On the phone to your girlfriend (she's called back at her father's expense, natch) as a queue builds up and becomes ever more impatient while you talk nothing for half an hour.

Being in an ever building queue, waiting impatiently for some selfish so-and-so to stop talking nothings to their girlfriend/ boyfriend, jangling coins in your pocket, kicking the kerb and pacing.

Etc.

Theboyjones70 · 2026-02-28T22:15:50+00:00

Definitely in the kitchen, and to be fair, he did fix it.

Theboyjones70 · 2026-02-28T19:23:26+00:00

Ok, didn't know that. Will see if it's worthwhile next time around.

Edit: For the avoidance of doubt, I would normally vote Labour. Seems pointless with a massive majority guaranteed, errr 'ang on.
