I visited Ghent once.
Lovely.
The purpose was primarily to adore that mystic lamb, but obviously there was beer to be adored too.
Cheers!

He wrote this when he was 16.
Pretty good.

Morrissey's voice. Johnny's guitars.
Hit my nail right on the head.

In 1983, I had to order this from Bruce Millers.
They had the red and blue albums.
That was it.
It's different now.
We are a firmly Beatles-worshipping country.

Hmm.
You have set yourself a dissertation there;
Has the historical absence of religious sectarianism in the North East of Scotland resulted in a relatively reduced interaction with, and demonstration of, political opinion, with particular reference to International Politics.

My parents were certainly not the marching kind.
Aberdonian.
'Is 'at allowed?' 🤣
So that might be part of it with me.

Great bass there.

Do any of you go on marches or demonstrations?
I don't really. A couple. Years ago.

Demo in Glasgow about the Gaza flotilla.
Why? That's achieving nothing.
Do folk turn up to feel good about themselves and talk about it after?
That's what I see.

Your father would be quite envious of Robert Fripp.
There was one 'Sunday Lunch' in particular where I found myself exclaiming much the same celebratory cries.
I had to calm myself down with unorthodox musical scales.

Me and panda got in behind the fire guard (we were pretending to be in the zoo), and he got 3 bar stripes on him.
Presumably my pjs were super-flammable, but I survived somehow...and later loved The Police, who's fashion?fuckthatcrap! I love again.

Can't really see Aberdeen cheering you up later.
However, Roma shouldn't have too many problems with the eleven gentlemen of Verona.

On the basis of some of what I've read today;
Keep your money in a biscuit tin under the bed before it all disappears from your accounts .

Absolutely no need for additional ID of any type in the UK.
The government's stated reason is pathetic.
However, I'd be wary of posts pointing to China and social credit scoring; 'this where we're heading' etc.

China’s social credit score – untangling myth from reality

The idea that China gives every citizen a “social credit score” continues to capture the horrified imagination of many. But it is more bogeyman than reality. Instead, we should be worrying about other...

Often sampled?
Probably.
Certainly one of Jimmy's little steals though.
For Immigrant Song.
Maybe not.
