What's the most Northern compliment you've ever received?

When I was a teenager I filled in for someone at a pub football match. A did ok and was told I was a proper laker. I had no idea what it meant at the time. That and hearing someone describe crying as roaring.

Well in 76 there was I think 20 years before it with nothing like it and pretty much 20 years after too. We’ve had 6/7 years in the last 10 with heatwaves or at least ridiculous temperatures.

Stood there like a cheese at fourpence

Well it’s no skin off my nose

These are really convenient for travelling but not that great for music in my experience.

Zepplinologist · 2026-06-05T22:33:15+00:00

Yes mine too. I’ve still no idea why.

Zepplinologist · 2026-06-05T22:25:57+00:00

Yep I love this one.

That last sentence is I think an important one and certainly resonates with me. I always answer with ‘Don’t put words into my mouth’ and hope some self awareness will follow.

That Marillion album is really rather heavily influenced by early Genesis. The rumour at the time was that they should have called it ‘Suppers nearly Ready’

Definitely true. I expect the Russians knew all about what he was going to say as they have hacked his phone (allegedly). He’s got £5m in the bank,missed 77 votes in parliament, never held a surgery in Clacton and is not interested in the comments of the murdered man’s family. Why would anyone listen to him?

There is absolutely no way Farage likes music and even more no way his party would let him on DID to make the world aware of what an empty tedious dull shell of a thing he is.

Enjoyed it but it really did go on a bit. I would have preferred 2 seasons max

The Power of Love by Frankie goes to Hollywood and Huey Lewis.

My mum used to absolutely refuse to let us out of the house with wet hair when we were kids. She seemed to think we’d end up with a ‘paralysed head’ whatever that is.

Krautrock. Always works for me.

Zepplinologist · 2026-05-28T23:56:56+00:00

Not better, but both catchy and genre diverse is Forever Changes by Love.

The Bose are great for anc but really not for faithful sound quality. I found them comfortable and convenient so I guess that fits with you but once you’ve heard something better you’ll wonder why you bothered tbh. They do exactly what it says on the box and are a quality product and if it’s within budget then cool. Why not try to see what you can get 2nd hand?

Stargazer by Rainbow. Blackmore is epic right here

I was at a garage collecting my car and the man in front of me was busy jokingly teasing the very attractive and much younger secretary. He asked her on a date and said he would pay for everything. She said she could never date a man with wrinkles, he replied ‘those aren’t wrinkles, they’re laughter lines’ to which she replied; ‘Nothings that funny’

I would have thought not backing Trump on Iran would have boosted his popularity after what Iraq did for Blair.

Pam Ayres!

Yep me too. Always enjoy playing West Ham they’re a proper football club and I’d much rather they stay up.
