Distinct lack of ambition showing there. I think we should be aiming for a minimum of 13 points, possibly more.

Laughing Gnome, anyone?

December 1982. http://www.u2gigs.com/show997.html The Alarm also supported them 2 nights running at the Lyceum Ballroom a year earlier in December 1981 (coincidentally, the first night was 36 years ago today...). I was at both of those. First time I saw U2 was also at the Hammersmith Palais...

Pardon my ignorance, but wtf has any of that got to do with my post?

Cheers. Yes, I'm personally sorted now, and lifted the Sword of Damocles off my own head, but I still feel it's all been a lot of unnecessary effort and expense. On the plus side, I now have dual nationality, which makes me a Brexiteer's worst nightmare: I'm Johnny Foreigner with a UK passport...

Yup.

I wanted to exercise my democratic right to have a democratic vote in the referendum last year, as the outcome did and does directly affect me personally. I was democratically told to f**k off by the democratically elected government. And yet although my democratic voice and the democratic...

Yes, finito. According to the 22nd Amendment: "No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be...

Just a bit of cultural reference for those of you who think NSC invented the hilarious pencil gag: lnn-AVexPvQ

I used to think registration was bad and the 'right to disappear' in the UK was a good thing, but then you hear stories about EU citizens who've lived in the UK for decades having to fill out 84-page forms just to apply for residency, not even nationality. Thanks to registration and my local...

He's not from Biroghton.

Tell me about it - I'm talking about 1979...

Last time I saw The Cure, Robert Smith was thin and had short hair... And 30 minutes after they went off, he came back on and played guitar with the Banshees... (Yes I know... *old*... But so is Bob Smith.)

Soylent Green?

Saltos del Monday is a spectacular waterfall that would be a major tourist destination anywhere else in the world. It's only unheard of because it's just down the road from the way more impressive Iguassu Falls. And Itaipu Dam is worth a look for anyone who likes mega-scale man-made objects...

Only trouble is, that study isn't terribly well-informed either if they think this statement is true: "Russia is seen as the booziest nation in the world, when they actually only rank 7th. Very few correctly pick out Belgium as the highest alcohol drinking nation in the study." According to...

As issues with Cozy Powell drum solos go, I'd rate that as fairly minor. My biggest issue with the Cozy Powell drum solo I saw in 1980, when he was with Rainbow, is that it wouldn't f**king end. Excruciating doesn't even begin to describe it...

Flaming Lips always give good show (despite Wayne Coyne's "not as out of tune as Ian Brown, but not far off" voice). There isn't "the one" where he got in the ball - he still does it (as of August '17, the last time I saw them). Only nowadays he manages a pretty decent cover of Space Oddity...

Let's be honest, EMA's future was always in doubt after Rod Hull died.

Can you see any of them moving about?
