It's very good.
It's very good.
Every time a dad has a paper bag. Itβs the law.
That's nothing. My copy is signed by Stef Coburn, SO WORTH CONSIDERABLY MORE THAN THAT!!!
Two scientists walk through a cluttered old-fashioned science laboratory. The female scientist says βAnalogue instruments! Paper records! Chalk boards! I thought you'd agreed to modernise the laboratory?β The male scientist replies βThat's what i'm so excited about: we have moved to cloud-based storage for our data!β They step out onto a balcony. She says: βPlease tell me you haven't built a library zeppelinβ This is exactly what he has done. It floats across the sky and he adds βIt's got a fax machine!β

Plantoid at the Hope And Ruin tonight, ably supported by Call Me Franco.

I have ultimate faith in you as a librarian!
Is that a particular favourite or one you think you'll be able to get your teeth into?
Ha! Silly boy.
The song that encapsulates Paul and Linda for me. youtu.be/ZStOefwQZwU?...
Couldn't get it out of my head, so now it's on here.
I thought I was fed up with Wings and McCartney's constant reminiscing - but, nah! Now make another film about your solo career, Paul.
Ok, I've watched Man On The Run and despite reservations, it's fucking great. The despair. The joy. The fuck it attitude of Paul and Linda (who cares she can't sing, it's what makes it!). The despair again. The chutzpah. The overwhelming freedom. Joie de vivre.
