  1. I remember in 92 trying to get hold of the twelve singles they did that year. I got them from a record shop called “Our Price” (i think), the shop was only entitled to ten singles per month. It was a mad panic, so i used to wait outside the shop until it opened up and then i could get hold of one. I got warned off my then boss for bunking off work and then try to sneak back. So after that i told my mum & dad and girlfriend to get to Our Price for 8.50am before it opened at 9. In the end i managed to get all twelve singles, and i got singles one & two signed. Then i sent off for “The Hit Parade” black box from TWP. I think they were based in Leeds then (now it’s Brighton). I remember them appearing on TOTP’s, i used to tell everyone to watch them. Sadly no one impressed with them. I remember them appearing on TOTP’s with the song Brassneck, and i don’t think Mr Gedge opened his mouth more than a couple of times. I won’t be buying the singles from this latest thing they’re doing, as i don’t bother with vinyl anymore. But id never get rid of all their vinyl i have bought. But that’s the same with Half Man Half Biscuit, Sonic Youth, Yo La Tengo, The Sundays, and loads of others.
  2. I thought The Smiths were excellent. As for Morrissey I don’t think he has done anything decent since 1995, he just seems a very bitter man today. I’m surprised he hasn’t asked GB News can he do the theme tune for the hourly news.
  3. Tin Tin Out did a horrendous cover version of “The Sundays - Here’s Where The Story End’s”. I cringe every time i hear that cover, i don’t know how they were allowed to get away with it. The Sundays were a fantastic band and Harriet Wheeler had a beautiful voice, she may still have as well.
  4. I’ve just watched the first two episodes of a “House Through Time”. I’ve always enjoyed the series and im enjoying this current one. If walls could talk.
  5. I wonder if Sutton go down they’ll rip out the grass and put the plastic back down ?.
  6. Keep away from the Donner Party nobody knows who or what is on the menu.
  7. Salford City AFC seem to be struggling with attendances so far this season, they’re averaging just over 2,000 although they haven’t had the best of starts.
  8. Joey Barton was a big fan. He said “RIP Tom O'Connell”. Didnt Mr O’Conner have an affair with a teenage prostitute ?. Or was that Tom O’Connell ?.
  9. I don’t know if this has been mentioned and i apologise if it has, but former Saints prop Roger Owen died on the 20th July.
  10. Mrs Miggins has found her rabbit after it escaped from its hatch.
  11. I love Sonic Youth but sadly i never got to see them, although i have seen Thurston Moore a couple of time’s. even though i am a big fan of Sonic Youth some of their LP’s are for me dreadful. It sounds as if they have given their instruments to some apes for an hour and they’ve said “whatever tune the apes make with the instruments we’ll make that our next album”.
  12. It looks like WAFC have avoided the drop with their win against Crewe, Yo Yo Northampton looked doomed and it looks all over for Joey Barton’s Gas. A great win for Grimsby against Bolton who really will be kicking themselves with that loss against the Mariners. As for the National League it’s a battle between Hartlepool, Sutton, Torquay for first place. But are Sutton willing to dig up their 4g pitch too move into Lge2 if they go up, is it worth it financially if they’re only up one season.
  13. I think Nigel Blackwell is the only Tranmere fan in the band Johnoco(but i could be wrong). I’ve seen them a good few time’s now and they are excellent to watch and Mr NB is very dry and funny. I think after every gig they drive back home instead of staying in an hotel(but then again that may not be true).
  14. You’re right about Alternative Bands mostly appearing in the early hours of the morning on a TV show. I always remember the brilliant “Half Man Half Biscuit” appearing “Danny Kelly’s - Under The Moon”. I used to enjoy that show but i always taped it. They (HMHB) never appeared on TOTP’s but i don’t think they would’ve wanted to go on it anyway.
  15. Did they do much singing in Austin’s novel’s (up). I’m glad The Sundays remained largely unknown or virtually nonexistent to the tv audience.
  16. Blimey Futtocks i don’t know how you managed to find that. I have just watched the whole 18mins of the thrilling FA Cup matches he did. It was a mate when i was a little lad who had the Logacta, there are so many dices and different things he has to do. I don’t think i’ll watch him do the whole of a premier season, although if it helps me nod off tonight i might listen to the thrills and spills. myself i preferred the League Ladders from (Shoot) i think it was and then you could make your own league’s up. as we’re on about football it looks as if Wigan Athletic could pull off a great escape while Sunderland bottle it. As for John Sheridan and Swindon Town i still can’t believe Swindon made him their manager. I do wonder how some of these managers keep being offered jobs, like Sheridan & Mark Hughes. But what a Job Jimmy Floyd Hasslebaink has done at Burton, and what has happened to Doncaster Rovers.
  17. With Football Manager have you got to spend more time sorting out the players training regime etc etc. I think that was the reason i stopped playing the game, along with spending far too long on it. Does anyone remember before the football manager game’s on computer the dice game “Logacta Football”, which required a fair bit of writing and lots of dice ?.
  18. I did enjoy the old Championship Manager with not as much on it as the new games. But i haven’t played Football Manager for years, but when i was playing it it did take over my life a bit. I would disappear for hours and the girlfriend would shout “are you still on that ###### football”. So id say to here “listen whilst you are watching your ######, im going to try and steer Leigh RMI out of the conference league thank you v much”. At time’s id think id been on the game two hours but id been on it about 6hrs. The girlfriend used to say to me at times, “you do know you were talking in your sleep last night about a left defender and a central defender you want to sign”. I said to her “listen love these are the sacrifices you have to give up when your boyfriend is the manager of a football club. Why don’t you become a manager of a club as well”. Happy days
  19. Dr Johnson’s London - Coffee Houses & Climbing Boys, Medicine, Toothpaste & Gin, Poverty & Press-Gangs,Freakshows & Female Education by Liza Picard.
  20. I’ve not a clue how to put a song on here but i do love the music from the former band The Sundays, Harriet Wheeler had the most beautiful of voices.
