I was ready to reach for the heroin after playing a mere snippet of Dulwich Fox's Gracie Fields cat scraping down a blackboard screechings. I'm sure there must have been many a British Tommy during the second world war who hurled himself into German gunfire after being subjected to her tuneless warblings. As Spike Milligan was to note in his memoir Mussolini: His Part in My Downfall, "she's as funny as a steam roller going over a baby." Anyway, I'm more or less moribund before two large mugs of coffee with my cigarettes in the morning after rising from my pit. Tea is for the afternoon, preferably with a couple of Hobnobs.
Wow! Eat your heart out, Arsenal, West Ham, Chelsea etc etc... http://cartilagefreecaptain.sbnation.com/2015/9/26/9396171/tottenham-hotspur-new-stadium-northumberland-development-project-drawings

Everyone seemed to think he was a nice bloke except me with my seething hate of his championing of the seemingly racist Oi and his 'friend' of the Krays crap. Total tosspot.

I loved the NME and read it religiously for about 25 years. I'd even get it a day early on a Wednesday on Fleet Street and I'd devour it from cover to cover and do the crossword. It was the musical bible back in its 70s heyday and sold around 250,000 a week back then but has sadly long been in decline and probably only sells less than a tenth of that now. I still buy it two or three times a year or have a glance at it online but it just isn't the same since I was a youngster. Maybe that's because I am so much older now. I hope it survives.

Indeed. I'm disappointed he didn't follow up Cameron's answers with follow up questions of his own and challenge him more. Still, early days for fireworks.
Here's a more grown up attitude from non-Blairites within the opposition. http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/john-healey/jeremy-corbyn-shadow-cabinet_b_8133424.html
Yeah, very funny *Bob* If Jeremy Corbyn's victory was an incredible political achievement, it was the easy bit. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/sep/12/jeremy-corbyn-victory-easy-bit-grassroots?error_code=4201&error_message=User%20canceled%20the%20Dialog%20flow#_=_

What makes you think the last lot were credible? The whole point is that the Tories now have an opposition that isn't Tory-lite.
