    if New York can die so can London

    I saw that but can't remember much except him screaming abuse at people from a tour bus. Prefer the one with Paul Cook and Steve Jones going around their old haunts, eating pie and mash and getting thrown out of a tube station.

    Vitamin C and the Wuhan Flu

    I'm hedging my bets and going with D and C. And B12, E, Zinc and Magnesium. And Laphroaig. Anything else I should be ingesting?

    What do you fear?

    What's the frogs thing about? I quite like 'em, myself. I had some weird sinal virus four years ago and temporarily lost my hearing, and that scared the living shit out of me, so totally get that one.

    Mathematics

    Because languages are useful and enable you to communicate with a wider range of people. Whereas knowing about maths enables you to communicate with a tiny pool of weirdos who are 'into maths'. Maths is bollocks. What do you need it for? Counting your change and playing darts - that's it...

    Mahabharat Appreciation Thread

    Cool! You're right though @WashYourHands , those ads are annoying as fuck.:mad: BUT...through that link and digging around, found a cool clip...and it's on Youtube without ads :) Though you'll have to skip to 34.18 and enable subtitles...Krishna (aka Kahna) out-voguing the cobra god over...

    Mahabharat Appreciation Thread

    It was def. BBC2 in the early '90s (though C4 might have licensed it later) - think it was part of the Beeb's old 'minority programming' package which seemed to consist of a current affairs programme called "Eastern Eye" (I think? or something similar) and "Kabaddi" (Pakistan's take on 'British...

    Mahabharat Appreciation Thread

    When people tell me they're obsessives because they own every Transmat release, I think, "Yeah, but did you spend two years of Sunday nights watching Mahabharat?" One of the best things the BBC ever broadcast. I don't think the UK even got the full works - the BBC cut it after Arjuna's big...

    Trainers, sneakers, kicks and crepes

    Black & white Converse - they go with anything. Black & white Adidas Spezials, for that proudly defending statues/pelting tourists with Stella bottles vibe. I used to have Dunlop Green Flash when they were considered 'gypo gear', and was insulted by kids whose mums had bought them £80 trainers...

    Going it alone

    I loved Johnny Thunders so much, but every time he went completely off on his own tangent it was kinda lame...at least compared to his stuff with the Dolls or Heartbreakers (or at least with Walter Lure co-writing). Regarding earlier posts: "Are You Experienced?" pisses over everything Black...

    Dennis Bovell = Matumbi

    Was 'Delroy Witter' actually Bovell? Because this 1978 album really sounds like him, it's got that classic thick syrupy sound. There's a great moment on track 2 where the song suddenly starts playing backwards. Unfortunately, the final 'tune' belongs in the 'Worst Songs You've Ever Heard' thread.

    Do you want Trump dead from the Virus?

    Hmm yeah...and the 'incoming: rape" hand positioning isn't helping. Amazed there isn't a pile of squished Ferrero Rocher on the carpet.

    Ramleh (90s version with guitars)

    I thought them posting their 100 top prog albums on Facebook was bad enough.

    Do you want Trump dead from the Virus?

    That reminds me of the Castles thread. Is there something wrong with me that it doesn't look...that bad?

    Death begins at 40

    @WashYourHands Do you know this one? My fave funeral song :) * 'boys'

    I'm Increasingly Resistant to New Things

    I've lost everything in my past - the place(s) I've lived, the communities in them, individuals, family members. Houses, streets and areas changed beyond recognition. Long-gone shops that couldn't afford to exist now. If there was an anchor, it was wrenched out and chucked into the void a long...

    Can You Eat like a Civilized Human Being?

    You're all bleeding animals. I was raised by redneck navvies but have impeccable table manners. My mum actually beat me with a wooden spoon and sent me to bed hungry if an elbow even brushed the table. You need to learn dining etiquette or you'll be fucked when Saffron Whitby-Desforges asks...

    Ramleh (90s version with guitars)

    Exactly. Sounds a bit "This Is Your Life" with 'muh showbiz pals'.

    Ramleh (90s version with guitars)

    Book coming out on Ramleh pronto: £19.50 from this place: https://fourthdimensionrecords.bigcartel.com/product/grudge-for-life-a-book-about-ramleh-by-richard-johnson Kinda thinking I don't need it and it's a waste of money. Sure in a few months John Eden will tell me it's absolutely...

    Are You Shy?

    Isn't shyness/confidence just as arbitrary as happiness/sadness? Anyone who identifies as permanently happy/confident is probably an annoying wanker or lobotomised. I had a brilliant week the first time I went to New Orleans, hanging out with an all-girl ska band and funning around with the...
