Something tells me Bernie can handle herself, and frankly Crofty is about as threatening as the gable end of a crisp packet.

Probably one of the best albums I've ever heard. It's up there with Pet Sounds. I'm not kidding you.

Laughing Stock is great, but this one is something else. That choir...

"Suckily Charming" sounds like a name used by a Bond Girl

I'm still not sure how he managed that.

I'm amazed they let him off with that, giving the place back or otherwise.

That reminds me of the retort given by a Jesse Helms when confronted by 'Piss Christ' by Andres Serrano. 'I will not have Jesus Christ - who is my Lord and Saviour - dumped into a vat of urine by a homosexual'.

Splinter, by Mike Dickson 14 track album

Another in the occasional quasi-live series, where nothing much seems to happen on the surface.

It's incredibly unfair to claim to Lance #Stroll is completely useless.

After all, Aston Martin could cover him in white tiles and use him as a urinal.

I should probably add that there are a few other tracks out there that can let you hear the range of your loudspeakers better than this one. The bass sounds like somebody is playing a tectonic plate, and the dynamics are absolutely breathtaking.

Donald Trump: US president says Iran 'welcome' at 2026 World Cup but not 'appropriate' US president Donald Trump says Iran are

US president Donald Trump has said Iran's men's football team is "welcome" at the 2026 World Cup but that it is not "appropriate" for them to be there "for their own life and safety"

Can somebody please explain to me what the shiny blue fuck he is saying? Maybe explain it to him too?

It's also quite strange that he thinks it's possible to end a war by starting one in the first place and then calling a halt to it to allow it to be added to his imaginary numbers.

I played Heart of the Sunrise yesterday to test out some speakers. It occurred to me that I could put together an absolutely killer Yes album called Not Close To The Edge from the good stuff from other albums, to save other people wading through the excess.

Just found this photograph, which brought back some seriously dim memories of my first ever gig attendance. People used to scoff at the idea that the Glasgow Apollo stage was stupidly high off the ground. Well it was.

Look, they beat the English at rugby so right now this nation can do no wrong.

Hereditary peers to be removed from Lords as bill passes The bill abolishes the 92 seats reserved for peers who inherit their titles through their families.

Great. Now all that are left are political cronies who have been stuffed into the House of Lords by their mates.

If the Australian GP is anything to go by then we can measure the distance between the cars in the final race using a calendar.

I managed to do that on a very hot summer's day. I had to abandon what I was doing in the kitchen and go out and drive into the centre of town. One wipe of a sweaty brow found chili running straight into my eyes as I drove down a crowded Edinburgh Street, now completely blind. Grand.
