Don't have a picture, but I was always amused by Fulking Hill, by Devil's Dyke

Never seen a hoopoe in the flesh, but I can tell you that in Dutch it is called a hop. As a result it is oft seen on craft beer labels over here...

Not a gig per se, but does a music movie count? I flew from Europe to New York specifically to see the Ramones documentary End of the Century at the cinema. My old school friend with whom I went to see the band several times in the 70s was living in NYC, and he asked me to come over as no one...

"What knockers!" "Oh, thank you doctor." And thank you Teri. RIP

RIP Paul, but hardly a surprise. Saw Iron Maiden 5 times in 1980/81 with Di'Anno. His rough and ready leather and denim approach was a breath of fresh air compared to all that crap spandex going around most of the NWOBHM scene at the time. Thanks to him I can claim: a) to have appeared on an...

I was there 20 minutes before the doors opened, that's how I got to the front... And The Ship Song is also what Mrs T and I consider "our song". But she wasn't with me on this occasion, so maybe that's why they didn't play it... By chance of tour timing, at 41 years and counting the Bad Seeds...

Used to be good at finding hard-to-find shit on the early internet using rubbish search engines like Alta Vista. Then Google arrived and enabled everyone to find stuff easily, rendering my superpower obsolete, but I've never been arsed to change the name to something more relevant...

They play it as the first song of the encore

I was at the same venue on the Thursday night, down on the barrier slightly to the right of Warren from this angle, so I got to stare close up at the great man's knees a few times when he was up on the 'catwalk'. I love Dry Cleaning and thought they were 'good, not great' this time, as the hall...

If driving on Dutch motorways, keep in mind that the speed limit is a blanket 100 km/h every day between 6am and 7pm, no matter what your satnav might tell you.

You don't need a breath test kit for France any more. They dropped the requirement about 4 years ago. Never was a requirement in the other countries mentioned

Probably right about the food. Wouldn't have been Liebfraumilch though. I was with my dad, and he was a real wine snob in the '70s and '80s

Once and only once. England 1-2 Scotland at Wembley 1977. That was the year those lovely Scots folk invaded the pitch afterwards and broke the goalposts. Game was shit, but I did get to sit next to* Rod Stewart at lunch before the game... *All right, back-to-back really - he was at the...

:ROFLMAO:

I agree with your general point, but just in the interests of accuracy, national service here in the Netherlands ended in 1997

Who do you think you are kidding?

I used to feel that way (I haven't lived in the UK for 36 years), but the way the Tories have been screwing with all my family and friends in the UK for the past decade and more means I'll do anything within my power to support my loved ones. The UK government has given me back my vote, so I'm...

It's more than good. It should be compulsory in my opinion (as it is in Belgium and some other places). It's a civic duty. Although all voting forms should have a 'none of the above' option for when all the candidates are shit, which they often are. As someone wise once said, if you don't...

Another one about Kurt Cobain
