  1. Here you go: And this: http://www.mickjonesrockandrollpubliclibrary.com/index.php/about
  2. It was the nineties, pretty much everyone around Britpop were acting like dicks. Weller is one of my heroes s o I'm a bit of an apologist. Here's some angry stuff: The Clash, The Specials, The Jam and Joy Division on a programme called Something Else. It captures the live spirit very well especially Funeral Pyre by The Jam. I was lucky enough to be around to see them all live. The Jam and the Clash the most. Oh Yes. And a note for Man at C&A by the Specials: C&A was a boring clothes shop chain.
  3. The magnificent Matt Johnson with the peerless Jonny Marr. Considering this song was written in 1989 the lyrics are eerily prescient.
  4. I've used the cycle lane in the dark a lot, if you're early, the biggest problem is dozy pedestrians which I'm sure you're used to. I do carry a pepper spray, but fortunately have never had cause to use it. Edit: incorrect use of the present participle or possibly a typo.
  5. It sounds to me as though you're recognising the eq/flange effect especially on Just Like Heaven. Is this the type of thing you mean? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnDjtRP1Azs
  6. And they're not even proper Whales. (Dolphin family). Over compensating I think...
  7. Dunno what the problem is, he's thought of everything, it's even got twin rear brakes.
  8. I refer you to Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity once again. The hypothesis is an interesting read. If you like that sort of thing...
  9. See Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity viz Spacetime (I agree with you by the way). And time does exist, that picture is silly. It's like saying physics doesn't exist just because it's been named. The elements are all there whatever they are called.
  10. Hope you can decipher the accents. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_ZTrXAxZ-g&feature=youtu.be
  11. I did indeed. After flying with the magnificent tailwind home at times managing 50km/h on the flat, which is quick for me! I turned into my road (which runs in an easterly direction) and was almost blown straight onto the verge. It was pretty hard work riding in yesterday morning against the (moderate!) SE. I ache today.
  12. This is more his style... Mondo Lamborghini! : http://d3k0ryy13u1ku5.cloudfront.net/media/k2/galleries/1713/160413_Gallery_1000x620.jpg
  13. Remember it's Australia, they think McGyver was a documentary.
  14. Oh yes. A friend of mine's wife can't watch it as each time she's tried it freaks her out for days afterwards. She's also scared of Praying Mantises...
  15. Yes. Charlie Brooker's creation. He is one of my favourite writer/commentator/comedians. Very talented man and a very unsettling and excellent series.
  16. Now some culture: Great words and a quite a tribute. http://www.newyorker.com/culture/cultural-comment/a-transcendent-patti-smith-accepts-bob-dylans-nobel-prize
  17. No, just no. See those holes? Those are where your dignity leaks out. (Admittedly not original but true).
  18. What time were they there? I had to drive in today, no cops when I went through, it was quite early though (0530). They're normally waiting to catch the white line crossers (which I like to see).
  19. I've obviously been very lucky or they simply deem me not worthy. I generally go through there very early (0430-0530). I do worry a little on my way back as it's usually around the 1500 mark and it can be a touch lonely. A while ago there were cops and security pretty much every day. It's a real shame and I hope something can be done.
  20. Isn't that what you do the following morning after ten pints and a Vindaloo?
  21. Top Secret?

    MotoGP

    Just shows, there are lies, damn lies and statistics... Attributed to M.Twain I think.
  23. I used to work with two Serbs and that's how they used to pour their beer!
  24. Maybe it's because I'm tired but this made me laugh a lot.
  25. As edits seem to be the theme at the moment:
