Forever Breathes The Lonely Word - Felt Psychocandy - Jesus and Mary Chain Hatful Of Hollow - The Smiths Murmur - REM Parade - Prince & The Revolution

To be honest, that's too much food HT. If that was me, I wouldn't have felt comfortable watching the match afterwards. Unless everything has been scaled down craftily - looks like way too much smoked salmon, THREE biscuits with your pudding? Intrigued by the petrified forest pretzel that...

Hmmmmmm. Well, let's see where we are after 10 games.

When I wrote the quiz, I was amazed at the number of players I had completely forgotten. We'll be saying the same about Obika, Rodriguez and Lita in the not-too-distant future. There's a Withdean players quiz on Sporcle too - takes ages as there are about 181 answers. I played it then became a...

What, like Vigur Gislason and Emeka Ifejiagwa? Very good score - A-grade knowledge :bowdown:

New quiz up - pretty tough one, I have to say: how many of the 53 players who turned out for the Albion at the Priestfield Stadium 1997-1999 can you name? I think anything above half marks is indicative of an excellent recollection of some long-forgotten names...

My son likes it. Seems a bit tame/bland to me. I agree that the laughter track is annoying. I think it's aimed at a younger demographic than me, but my sour attitude towards the programme may be influenced by the fact that three separate people at work have said that I resemble the main...

Yes, yes and yes, although you need to watch the battery life. Clearly not aimed at the "serious" cyclist, but good fun, takes about 50% out of the pain of going up steep hills. I use one for cycling to and from the station each morning and it allows me to have some exercise without arriving at...

When I first heard Loveless by My Bloody Valentine, I was really disappointed - seemed to be vastly inferior to Isn't Anything. I left it a few years and came back to it and, of course, came to realise that it was one of the most beautiful and beguiling records of all time.

Can't make it I'm afraid, and I'm not sure what my opinion is on seeing reformed C86 bands - clearly, it could be a lot of fun, but I can imagine it may be tinged with melancholy, trudging home in the rain, putting on "You'll Never Be That Young Again" when you get in, digging out those old 7"...

Wolves, Lower Radio Free Europe Auctioneer Stumble Actually too many to mention. I'll stop here. Anything before Green.

Street Fighting Years is a horrific album. New Gold Dream is great, if a little tedious to take in one sitting, but certainly has its moments. Same with SITR. Once Upon A Time is a guilty pleasure of mine - and I love the terrible 80s 12" remixes of the singles. Quite like all the pre-New Gold...

Kid Wave and Man Made offered up entertaining indie power pop/rock at Sticky Mike's on Friday. Lovely stuff at a great venue.

Totopoly for board game (love the horse names - Marmaduke Jinks, Night Error, etc); Lotus Esprit on the Amiga (love the driver names - T Hairy Bootson, Nigel Mainsail, etc).

Our house has a conservatory and it has been pretty useless. When we bought the house, it had a load of blinds, but we had to rip them down and throw them away because they couldn't be cleaned and just ended up collecting the dead bodies of insects. Most of the time, the conservatory is either...

I hate that automated system - "OK, you've told me that you want to talk about a self-assessment return. Is this correct? If it is correct, say "Yes". If it's not correct, say "No". Half an hour later: "OK, you've told me that you want to talk about capital gains tax in respect of your...

I haven't listened to any of his albums (not sure why) since Illinois, which I really liked. I presume the ones I've missed out on are worth checking out?

Leigh's shop (richter & pope) in Guildford that sells linen tea towels, pieces of rope and savon de Marseille is doing very well, plus he usually plays some rare L&TCS tracks on a loop in the shop, unless he's playing the Seven Davis Jr album. It's well worth a browse, although I felt obliged to...

I'm not sure I can make sense of the ordering here, except the whole looks a bit like the Isle of Wight. Still, I'm easily pleased: quite happy just to work through the list of names, thinking "Like them; don't like them" etc. Strawberry Whiplash are on here, but no Strawberry Story - where's...
