for those who - like me - were wondering, diligent Googling has shown that the image behind Morrissey was a still of Tony Franciosa from Senilita (1962) directed by Mauro Bolognini and based on a book by Italo Svevo.


The female star was Claudia Cardinale and the film was marketed in France under a title meaning 'When flesh succumbs' - surely some subtext here?

Good old Chris Martin was certainly 'every inch' the cock last night, writhing around on his back like some achingly romantic crab - and tossing-out wince-inducing lines to the crowd whilst caressing his guitar which was personalised with deep, meaningful and crazy graffiti slogans.


But they do have more than just a few songs which are really rather good, and are perfectly suited to that place and slot. And and basically everyone loved it. So fair play to 'em. And well done, Chris, you great big tit.

Well, let's think. The ones with 30,000 people singing along in unison from start to end are probably the good ones.


The ones where people stand around scratching their heads and talking amongst themselves whilst waiting for the ones where they can sing along in unison from start to end - are probably the crap ones.

I'm not sure how Elbow suddenly became national treasure status but their first album has some pretty great moments and I've not minded anything subsequent.

Coldplay. Yes, CM is a cock, yes everything theyve done post parachutes is done to a boring forumla, but I actually really rather like their first album too. File it under nicholas cage.

    • I'd forgotten about that place.  It wasn't a market as such, it was just run by one  couple. They did have some quite interesting things. I still have a mirror I got from there, which had been  put inside an old painted  shuttered window frame from somewhere in India. Mumbai I think. There also used to be occasional indoor  markets in the church hall where the cinema now is, next to where the Irish shop used to be. But if memory serves they were usually either jumble sales (do they still exist?) or craft sales before Christmas. There have also been occasional indoor markets at the church hall in Dulwich Village and the church hall at the church in Barry Road up by the Plough. There never seemed to be many people buying things at them. But it does all depend on what is being sold, whether it appeals to the local demographic,  where the market is located and how it is publicised. And, obviously,  whether it is profitable for the traders.
    • How the hell did Mad maxxi do that given the state of the rest of us?
    • "I also remember when we first moved here a small indoor market on the corner of North X road and Felbrigg rd that had bric a brac and bits of furniture..That one had some good stuff."   I remember that little bric-a-brac, at the back of the solicitors' place. Still got a block type panel from there. The old solicitors on the corner would could be a good venue for a few indoor stalls
