I used to sit and listen to albums right through, but now I’ve started chopping and changing them a bit with singles or additional tracks not on the original. I started with “Pepper”, cutting out Harrison’s dirge “within you without you” and replacing it with “strawberry fields forever” (which was recorded around the same time). Sacrilege, I know. But I did read an article where George Martin said he used to put the weakest track as the first one on side 2, so people could drop the needle on the second track when they flipped it over.

I chucked all mine away. Have also chucked hundreds and hundreds of CD’s away as well. I’ll be fucked if I suddenly couldn’t afford Apple Music as I basically own fuck all now.

My point is that you need some front to be part of new Labour, and make jibes about cash for peerages. Bearing in mind plod were banging on number 10’s door when Ali’s master was in there. What’s next, Keith Richards issuing warnings over drug use?

Being at the heart of New Labour, he’d know the going rate.

The monkees “sound like” pre Rubber Soul Beatles, but they’re considered a joke group, why’s that? Because in your opinion the similarities mean that you have to like them if you like The Beatles. I presume you can’t like Frank Sinatra without liking Michael Bublé There’s a delicate balancing act between being influenced by & copying. What makes something innovative, fresh & appealing is the very thing that makes copy cat groups boring and predictable. The Stones became boring and predictable, because they became a tribute act to themselves . There are plenty of people who thought they were good 45 years ago, but think they’ve made nothing but duds since. In your eyes people can’t dislike their 1990’s/2000’s shite because they loved Sticky Fingers or Exile on Main St. It’s a pony line of argument.

These things are pretty much a done deal with the player before any negotiations between clubs. If there was ever player that was going to be involved in an auction in was VvD, yet there didn’t appear to be one. Despite Liverpool saying they weren’t pursuing him any more, there still was t a rush to buy this great player that would have walked into any side. Why was this, because City, etc didn’t rate him, or because they knew he wanted to go to Liverpool and knew he would only go to Liverpool . I know which one I think it is.

If everyone shared your ridiculous view The Monkees would be considered one of the all time greats. Of course, you don’t really subscribe to this view, you’re just looking for an argument.

You can go back in time and find new stuff (as in something you’ve never heard before). Personally, I think the timeframe from Rubber Soul to The Last Waltz, the greatest musical era. But clearly music is a personal thing, so I should of added “in my opinion”, before my toilet comment. Apart from Dawes I haven’t heard anything since Paul Weller that floats my boat. I particularly dislike the 80’s where even a genius like Stevie Wonder produced some complete and utter pony. As for the 90’s, can’t stand oasis, blaggers, recycling old riffs. They were basically a Revolver tribute act,

Apart from a few honourable exceptions, music has been pretty much in the toilet since about 1980.

We’ve been in about half a dozen FA cup semi finals in 60 years. Do you really think we’ll get there 2 years running, let alone be facing someone who isn’t one of the traditional big clubs. Ralph blew it, poor selection (Redmond up front) and god awful passive tactics. It was as bad as Mark Hughes “attempt” to get us to the final and both managers let us down on the day (as did the players).

Spot on.

Firstly, Labour and Lib Dem’s are involved. Lammy got paid for a radio show, Starmer worked for the Gib Government. This is not a party political debate, so stop with your pony on that score. Secondly, why is the PM different, or the chancellor or the Foreign Sec, these people have 2 jobs. If they can do that and look after their constituents why can’t Lanny do his radio show and look after them? Thirdly, if Cox broke the rules, then he will be sanctioned. I was talking about behaviour within the rules. If Cox earns £5 million a year, doesn’t attend Parliament but doesn’t break the rules that’s between him and his electorate. That’s still bad behaviour IMO. Fourthly, it’s a bit classless bringing Shipman into it, but that tells me a lot about the type of person you are.

Better? We had a decent shot last season, but were pretty pathetic in the semi final. History tells us we don’t get many chances to reach a final and the last 2 have been fucking limp surrenders.

So an mp can have 2 jobs as long as their staff take care of constituency matters? Or does that apply only to Boris. Could my snap dragon be an mp and continue to work 1 day a week in the hospital, with her staff looking after constituency matters on that day, is that ok or not? What if she wanted to volunteer at the hospital 1 day, is that allowed or is it only paid work you’d ban Are MP’s allowed to write books, are they allowed a radio show a couple of hours a week, can the referee lower league football matches, can they own a business? Typical leftie looking at how they want the world rather than as it is. You’re trying to legislate away bad behaviour, rather than let the voters decide.

I’ve no idea, but come the next election they’ll be able to decide whether they think he was a good representative or not. Much better than somebody like you deciding who can and can’t represent them, and deciding how much time they need to devote to the job.

Surely it’s for the electorate to decide, not you. What if someone stated they would only be in Parliament for 50% of the time and get voted in, who are you to say they can’t

In the same post you originally made the statement, you said you’d treat them like paid employees. Employers decide if employees can have a second job. They work for their constituents, if they don’t like it they can sack them.

It’s not up to you or other people to determine how long an MP needs to spend in Parliament. Or who can represent us. If I stand as a candidate stating I’ll work 3 days as an MP and 2 as a Traffic warden and the good people of Poole return me as their representative, why should you or anyone else decide that the votes somehow invalid. Some of you really struggle with democracy.

What happens if your proposal is granted and a by-election is triggered. If the bloke who failed to reach the required attendance % wins, and then continues to not attend enough, do we have another by-election or does he get a pass?

Isn’t being an MP & Prime Minister two different jobs?

The Irish shouldn’t have a veto on UK policies because of the threat of violence.

Keeper needs to do better.

Why would it bothering me, bother you so much? strange.

Chicken George ripped them apart.

The keeper catches his leg, which causes it to hit his other leg.
