You’re wrong. Trump did very well with the young Latino vote in neighborhoods like Washington Heights, Inwood, etcet…

I was born and raised in the states – Cincinnati, to be exact. But I lived in London in 1984, and we try to spend time in England every year. It’s very much been our home away from home for decades now.

My copy – bought upon release in the states – absolutely had an EMI label. Last I checked, it still did.

Again, money. As long as he’s in the game, the stadiums fill and the television viewing audiences remain high. It’s ridiculous.

Thanks, that’d be swell.

It boils down to advantage granted.

This is also why Toronto can knock Ohtani out of the game in the fourth inning, yet he’s still taking at-bats in the 11th.

No, not at all. Commercials during the World Series are enormously expensive, and eliminating the ghost runner allows for much more advertising time. And revenue.
If MLB is acknowledging anything, it’s their greed.

Finding episodes on YouTube, but keeping an eye peeled for the DVD boxed set going cheap.

The Wheeltappers and Shunters Social Club, and really enjoying it.

The original novel, Build My Gallows High, by Geoffrey Homes, is every bit as good as the film.

Ha! You'll be astonished by how much I DON’T know!

Ah, cool, glad to have helped!
It was pretty well-known at the time, but I suppose a lot of people have forgotten Chi Chi Rodriguez since then.

Absolutely... but with the occasional and glaringly obvious lapse! 🤣

Mark (out of Sour Jazz) @sourjazz.bsky.social · 4d

That’s not fair. I always cave to Mrs. Doyle! 🤣

Why not cut out the middle-man?

It’s a CD, on a label in France. It reminds me of that song/game they used to sing/play on Sesame Street... “one of these things is not like the other.." !!!

Just when I was thinking that I’m too old for peer pressure... 🤣

They were a great band, especially that track. I think we were on another compilation with them, as well, but I never managed to see them live.

Yeah, don’t ask me! That one gasted my flabber, bigtime!

Raven’s a total star! Mustn’t let our Freya see those, or she’ll relentlessly whine until she gets her own matching set.

Sour Jazz keeping very good company alongside Iggy & The Stooges, MC5, New York Dolls, Flamin’ Groovies, Lou Reed, Johnny Thunders, Motorhead, The Damned, Thee Michelle Gun Elephant, and The Hammersmith Gorillas...

You could say that I’m jealous of your Bowie leash, but I said it first!

If you’ve not read his autobiography, All The Rage, it’s one of the best. Like sitting one stool down the bar from a brilliant and tireless raconteur.

What a lovely and kind gentleman he was. One of the absolute finest.
