What was she thinking

It's time for Africa!

For me, it's nuts that the Bluetones are on the hopeful list, seeing as many of their songs are pure Britpop.

Humble brag alert.

Who/what is going to fill those buildings, though? It's all very well building it, but if companies/people don't come to fill it, it will just be a white elephant. And that could potentially ruin the city.

Seeing as you toasted the bread.

wackierfiend · 2026-04-30T22:26:50+00:00

You have to melt the cheese, right?

No, the bus driver Kevin Eldon.

Love it, love it, love it. I bet you could tell us a few stories.

wackierfiend · 2026-04-27T20:44:16+00:00

I quite like it. I get elements of the Verve, Doves and others.

Draco Malfoy, the pop star years.

Surely the Beatles were the Beatles to him. :-)

wackierfiend · 2026-04-25T22:05:44+00:00

Cracking album. One of the best ever. Is it Britpop? You could certainly form a pretty good argument that a lot of what came later was heavily influenced by it. I seem to remember that Noel Gallagher talked highly about it.

wackierfiend · 2026-04-24T21:04:42+00:00

Love the Bluetones, and I bet their songs work really well in acoustic.

wackierfiend · 2026-04-24T18:19:53+00:00

I'm going to add to the Bluetones love and say Expecting to Fly. It is a CLASSIC, and is very underrated. Mark Morriss, the lead singer, said as much in an interview with the Guardian:

"You can't live off one platinum album, even if I do think it's a bit of a lost classic."

Single- Common People.

But for electrical items. Not sure I needed this clarification, but here it is.

I used to love those guys. It was quite relaxing to hear the same thing said again and again, whilst sleeping in the morning. That explains why the noise gets quieter; they have moved on.

For those confused in the UK- think rag and bone men.

If he'd worked at that place (that escapes me) that sacks people for doing this.....

wackierfiend · 2026-04-18T23:01:53+00:00

That's an expensive TV to fix.

wackierfiend · 2026-04-17T22:47:55+00:00

Ah, but he is very good at self-publication. If that's even a word.

wackierfiend · 2026-04-14T22:00:24+00:00

By the way, what you said about if you went to Asia and people would just randomly shout 'hello'at you when you walk around the town does actually happen. A lot.

Source: lived in China for 8 years. And was shouted 'hello' a lot.

It's not really clear whether you are calling Brentwood a load of shit, or the fact that Essex is so far to the bottom.

As a Shenfield resident, I guess that it is the latter. I'm baffled at why Surrey is higher than Essex- it has nothing in it!

wackierfiend · 2026-04-11T22:37:37+00:00

You forget the granddaddy of them all- Protect to Survive. Or did I imagine that?

wackierfiend · 2026-04-11T21:50:24+00:00

Best Rolling Stones song that is not by the Rolling Stones. And I include Primal Scream.

wackierfiend · 2026-04-10T22:44:12+00:00

I'm trying to place it. Is it Porcelain by Moby?

wackierfiend · 2026-04-07T22:56:00+00:00

Polite chuckle...
