    [Music] Tom Waits

    First heard him about 40 years ago when I was a young 'un and he was just getting appreciated. A lifelong love affair followed - and I saw in the two times he played in England. I prefer his earlier work to his later avant-garde work, I suspect he was at his best as a craftsman when he was...

    Gin drinkers

    What troubles me is that Gin is quick and inexpensive to make (compared to Malt Whisky say) and that it only retails at £40-ish because people are prepared to pay/believing of the value. That said it is not hard to make yourself - you can buy 95% alcohol from Italy (handle with care!) and cold...

    [Misc] Have you any experience of curses?

    Be careful, because, in the folk-lore of cursing, an unjust curse can bounce back on the curse-giver...

    [Misc] Have you any experience of curses?

    Reading the Yaya thread & picking up on the theme of curses. Way back I used to work for a businessman who, when no other avenues remained, would put curses on his adversaries. (He was white, wealthy, upper-middle class BTW.) No dolls and pins, he would simply wish them ill and share the...

    [Music] Allan Holdsworth, Greatest ever British guitar hero?

    To return to the subject, do give it a go...he kicks off about 2m40s into this... worth hanging around for the the next five minutes... ...to sample Allan's genius.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaoQPmTF7zk ...though he would have rather been talking about birds with you over a pint...

    [Music] Allan Holdsworth, Greatest ever British guitar hero?

    AIF He died about a year ago. IMHO he was as great a guitarist as Brian May or Mark Knopfler, probably a bit superior... I got into him when I heard Bill Bruford's album 'Feels Good to Me' (1977) The track 'Adios a la Pasada' is a perfect illustration of his brilliance. Problem was, he had...

    Were they not alluding to our last two games? Presumably to 'psyche us out'. Funny how that chant ended on the 57th minute.

    [Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Tottenham Hotspur *** Official Match Thread ***

    Desperate goal to concede... but to balance it out our pen was borderline. Blood sweat and tears, which is when we've been at our best this season. Feeling rather emotional - what a point!
