NO MATTER WHO YOU VOTE FOR THE GOVERNMENT ALWAYS GETS IN Preside!.....Order!.....Order! Noises on the radio, megaphones on cars Sermons from the street of shame, know-it-alls in bars Posters in suburbia, experts on TV Don't let them disturb-i-ya They're just the powers that be Hey-Ho! Don't worry! Nobody can win! (Hey-Ho! Hey-Ho!) No matter who you vote for, the government always gets in Hey-Ho! Oh great, great slumbering nation Awake! Set yourself free Oh! Smell the comforting bacon, taste the bromide tea And give a little chirrup as I ladle on the syrup Promises are cheap Let me bear your crosses, make me boss of bosses Then you go back to sleep (Ha ha ha) Hey-Ho! Don't worry! Pop your cross in the bin (Hey-Ho! Hey-Ho!) No matter who you vote for, the government always gets in Hey-Ho! Hey-Ho! Hey-Ho! Hey-Ho! Memories of a finer place in comfortable Shangri-La Then they too have their Shangri-Las Shangri-La La La! See them in the public eye, oozing oily charm Hear them all personify, down on Animal Farm Dog eat dog, but cock and bull isms are the game Ism this and ism that Isn't it a shame! Hey-Ho! Don't worry! Nobody can win! (Hey-Ho! Hey-Ho!) No matter who you vote for, the government always gets in. Hey-Ho! Don't worry! Pop your cross in the bin (Hey-Ho! Hey-Ho!) No matter who you vote for, the government always gets in. Don't worry! You know you can't win! (Hey-Ho! Hey-Ho!) No matter who you vote for, the government always gets in

Really! So what's that got to do with David Bowie?

Never again.

Ed Simons of the Chemical Brothers and Jon Marsh of The Beloved.

I think you've answered your own question.

Liverpool 1 - 1 Real Madrid Juventus 1 - 2 Chelsea Roma 0 - 0 Arsenal Man Utd 2 - 1 Inter.

CPT. You know it makes sense. Get there early though for a good seat.

Great school. Wish I'd gone there.

Some of the first records I ever bought were David Bowie albums. He's a fantastic talent. He was so far ahead of the competition in the 70s. There wasn't really anyone to touch him. So many great records and memories. My favourite album of his is probably Hunky Dory which is absolutely sublime, as Hona says just about as near to perfect. And he's proper saarf London innit. Geezer!

Everybody Needs Somebody To Love - Solomon Burke

Song For Guy - Elton John

Ever Fallen In Love With Someone You shouldn't Have Fallen In Love With - The Buzzcocks

This one's for you Giggirl. x

Doesn't he just fill you with nausea...

Hi GG, great song that and it's called Till The Next Goodbye and it's on the It's Only Rock N' Roll album, track four I think. till the next time that we say goodbye till the next time that we kiss goodnight I'll be thinking of you.

Without wanting to sound like a patronising twerp I have to admit that I rather warm to Snorky's sardonic view of the world.

I saw U2 at the Marquee Club 30 years ago and the were fecking great that night but unfortunately they have bored me to death ever since. Bono is a patronising arse. Anyway here's a little story you may or may not have heard about. It's Christmas time, and U2 have lined up a series of enormous charity gigs. They get together on the day of the first gig to soundcheck and Bono notices that The Edge is looking a bit peaky. 'What's the matter The Edge?' he says. 'Ah look it's nothing Bono' says the guitarist, 'It's just - you know that Japanese promotional tour we did last week, right? I think I picked up something, it might be some kind of flu, I'm feeling pretty bad.' 'Well, The Edge,' replies Bono, 'if you want to pull out of the gigs you just say so.' Edge shakes his head. 'No, no, no way Bono. These gigs are important to me - I've got to think of the children, not my aching guts.' 'That's the spirit The Edge', says Bono, and so that night they take the stage. They play all the hits and the crowd are loving it. For a big climax, because it's for charity, they're going to perform 'Do They Know It's Christmas?', but as they get going on the song Edge suddenly feels very ill indeed, and he turns, drops his guitar and sprints towards the back of the stage. But he doesn't quite make it and he throws up, all over Larry Mullen Jr. and his drumkit. 'Jaysus The Edge!' yells Larry, 'Those are brand new drums! What the hell are you doing?' Poor Edge is mortified. 'Aw Larry, I - I - I couldn't help myself, I'm so sorry, it's this flu.' Bono calls a band meeting after the gig. 'The Edge, that was disgusting, I don't think you should be playing tomorrow night, you know, you're not well.' 'No, Bono, it won't happen again, honestly, I'm so sorry - and you know, the show must go on.' So Bono agrees and when the gig kicks off the next night Edge is up there on stage, riffing away. The gig's going really well, no problems, but then as 'Do They Know It's Christmas' starts Edge begins to feel sick. He desperately tries to hold it down but it's no good, and makes a dash for the side of the stage, only getting as far as Adam Clayton, who he vomits over, copiously. 'Me best leather waistcoat!' howls Adam Clayton, 'The Edge you're more beast than man!' Edge is white as a sheet. 'Oh no, Adam, I'm sorry, I couldn't be more sorry.' Bono is furious after the gig. 'The Edge you've gone too far this time, you've ruined another gig. I've just been on the phone to Sting, he can fill in tomorrow, you've got to rest up.' Edge is almost in tears, 'Please Bono no, this gig means so much to me, I know I've got it all out my system now, I'll be great tomorrow I promise, you have to let me play.' 'OK The Edge one last chance, but if there's any more antics like the last two nights then that's it, the end, you're out of U2.' The next day Edge takes lots of vitamins and he's feeling fine. The gig starts and it's amazing, the best U2 gig ever, even 'Discotheque' sounds alright. Bono's really pleased, Edge is happy. They start 'Do They Know It's Christmas' and Bono moves over to stand shoulder to shoulder with his buddy and really belt the tune out. Suddenly Edge doesn't feel too good. His face is contorting, he's struggling like mad but it's no use - he turns to Bono with a look of desperation and suddenly hacks up an enormous greenie right in Bono's face. The song stops. Edge is paralysed with horror - 'Bono I can explain, I'm truly sorry, you can't believe how sorry I am.' Bono wipes the snot off, turns to Edge, and says 'Well, tonight thank God it's phlegm instead of spew.

Nah definitely not snorks.

Or is it Hotel California by the Eagles?
