I often click a username on my touchscreen phone when trying to click a thread title.

have they signed yet?

I happen to agree, and I'm also probably the only person on here that thinks the great rock and roll swindle was a terrific film.

Anybody else noticed that the post times are a bit behind the actual time? Conspiracy?

60 seconds......................

nice one

well, only 8 minutes to go before we start to walk this league.

"singing"?

Supposedly a press conference, but I wouldnt put your mortgage on it.

......22 minutes and counting......

Had he been drinking?

I agree that DC is a terrific player, but there is the injury issue. If only we were managed by someone with extensive physio experience.........oh, hang on Cant see LB being unduly concerned by his court stuff while he's on the pitch, tbh. My guess is that if he's available and we havent signed another striker, (which could yet happen,) he will start with RL, and DC on the bench.

My thoughts precisely, but Hancock was a lost cause by then. The BBC did a terrific docu-drama about him starring Alfred Molina, the final scene was Hancock giving a press conference in Australia about the tour he was doing, his cigarette smoke was gradually filling the room as he spoke while his voice faded away and the smoke slowly obscured the actors, then the end strapline about Tony topping himself came up on the smokefilled screen. Very clever, and very moving.

Have another listen sometime and you'll see what I mean. They added an edge to the song that wasnt really there in the original, another example of that was when Del Amitri did a live version of "Nothing ever happens" on R4 a few years ago on loose ends, the singer absolutely spat out the lyrics with true vitriol, I had never realised the bitterness of that song til then, it had just washed over me like another piece of MOR. (Point of interest, I did a bit of work for the del amitri keyboard player last weekend, he was in lymington for the evening.)

I was doing just that, but got sidetracked. Any thoughts on the couple I mentioned in response to your post?

He's right though.

Thats fair enough, but some covers do actually add to the song. Case in point, the beautiful south did basically a straight cover of everybodys talking about me by nilsson, but with a venom that fundamentally changed the tone and meaning without altering it musically. What I meant about the soft cell one was the chord change during the "take your hands off me...." chorus, where the cover reversed the chords from the original. That was a shame because apart from that I really liked the cover version. And I'm surprised none of our older members has mentioned sid vicious belting out My Way yet......

+1. Keep us posted stevo, and dont forget the condom.

Also, the flying pickets managed to take a wonderful yazoo song, Only You, and turn it into a bland slice of mainstream ear candy. And who was it that took Say hello wave goodbye by soft cell, and somehow contrive to alter the chord sequence thereby completely wrecking the song? (the unusual chord change being the whole point of it), some american singer I think.

This. What the hell was the point of that?

You know we're scraping the barrel when we start discussing our favourite saints beards. Roll on the new season....

That is deppo, but keep it quiet.

Stevo, do you routinely reply to nigerians offering you multi-million dollar payouts in return for your banking details as well?

Email back and ask her straight, does she take it up the council

I almost shat myself when we landed there.
