    Agreed. And in my opinion Harmony Row is even better.

    Yes, a lot of the great rockers from the '60's and '70's are getting on in years and finding the lifestyle catching up with them. Jack, of course spent most of his money on drugs in the early part of his career and this contributed to the liver cancer he has tragically died of.

    Making no apology for putting this up again. Love this song - Victoria Sage from the Harmony Row album:

    Any bass players out there who fancy some instruction. How about whiling away an hour with a master at it. From 1998:

    No chance of a Tory/UKIP pact!! If the election goes "belly up" for Cameron ie he does not get a majority the situation is as follows IMO.
    a) He loses all credibility on the world stage if he were to form an alliance with UKIP (should they gain a sufficient number of seats )
    b) He enters an alliance with Labour (a more likely scenario). Angela Merkel's Government is after all an alliance between the CDP and SDP in Germany so if it works in Germany why not in the UK or are our politicians so governed by their party's interests and not the nation's?

    The party most likely to be in government after the next election is the Lib Dems.

    Am I the only person in the country that actually thinks that Nick Clegg speaks a lot of sense and would be a better PM than Cameron and Milliband?

    No, I'm with you. He's taken a lot of **** for abandoning his tuition fees stance and "getting into bed" with the Tories, but both are unfair criticisms.

    You might be. They are no better, though I think Vince Cable should wield the real power. If that means Clegg stands on podiums because he looks better then so be it.

    I do think there's a disproportionate amount of hate for the Lib Dems. I know they messed up on tuition fees, but they have done a few good things.

    He's a Weasel, we wouldn't have Cameron now without him. How the Liberals have just sat there while the poor and disabled have been systematically shafted repeatedly is beyond me.

    Nice to see you back Joe:)

    makes more sense to me. forming a government with a party that placed third or lower gives disproportionate power to them.

    conservative/libdem coalition set a dangerous precedent.

    Be nice if you added another sentence.... "Because....." So we can understand your view. Now it reads as "just not fair" and stamping feet; give us a chance to agree or disagree :)

    By the way Joe, don't know if you recall me saying my sister-in-law (about your age) did a law degree too and was temping in a hospital admin job. She has just landed a job at a solicitor, which at least means is in the right place in relation to her degree. Just thought I'd mention it incase you were getting down about not finding a job related to your law degree... Stay patient as she did!

    Er.... I still suspect a large number of them are so governed by their own self interest rather than the nation's or their party's.

    I can't believe that people actually want Milliband as PM. Terrible idea.

    My short comments are largely due to me having to type on a **** phone, but okay...

    Because getting into government with the Tories doesn't mean they're suddenly on the same side. They've still spent the whole time fighting them and acting as a counterbalance to the more hardline conservatives. As for the tuition fees, scrapping or reducing them would be an incredibly expensive move in a time that required cost cutting. I'm sure they still believe in it in the long run, but how are they going to free up the cash in a time of austerity?

    On the law thing, thanks and I'll keep it in mind. I'm actually now in a job which seems to have good potential to work my way up the ladder a bit, and I think I'm good at it. It's nothing to do with law, but it's alright.
