    Of course it was Norman Watt Roy. I didn't realise he was playing with Wilco. I can't believe I listed the drummer as Charlie Daniels instead of Charlie Charles! I think Charlie Daniels Band were a country and western outfit who had a hit with 'The Devil Went Down to Georgia' in the late 70's/ early 80's.

    I can't find that interview. :sad:

    I guarantee my dad could tell me intricate details of this game yet will still ask me who BOS is every time he’s on the team sheet.

    Loved 'Father Ted' but I'd say 'Frasier' was probably Channel 4's best comedy series...

    It's probably an age thing, but Inbetweeners for me (although I did love both Father Ted and Frasier)

    This time next year I look forward to reading that this was the last day we heard of Covid 19, or that a cure had been found

    I'm afraid the only way we'll stop hearing of Covid 19 from tomorrow is if they change its name to Covid 20.

    Very good interview with Bernard Sumner in the Times today. Apparently Curtis was a laugh until he went on medication for his epilepsy, nothing like what you would expect.

    Bernard still not talking to Hooky. When the NME compiled it’s top singles of the 80s list, Bizarre Love Triangle was at 9, Love will tear us Apart at 2 and Blue Monday at 1.

    It's such a loss. I was just really getting into music at that age, and last year my wife bought me the limited edition 40th anniversary release of Unknown Pleasures for my 50th, and it was my favourite present that I received (but don't tell her, she spent a fortune on other stuff!)

    I've seen New Order and Peter Hook and the Light, both great on their own but there's some really bad blood between them that seems pretty unreconcilable.
