The going home for the weekend song thread...come on you groovey foookers


Recommended Posts

Ah, I'm so Bored with the USA, that changed so much for me almost 40 years ago. So disappointed when Mick Jones said that it started of with "I'm so bored of you" (ie a partner, until someone suggested that USA sounded better). Three years later and the Clash were certainly not bored of the USA (and no criticism as their music peaked at that point). I digress, here is my song for Nigel Farage (and I suppose Trump).




Hope my posting of the link works

If anything goes may I be forgiven for promoting my mate Andy's band (he's the drummer), The Buffalo Riot? They're getting quite a good reputation and airplay in their hometown of Liverpool and supported The Bros.Landreth at The Garage in Islington last year.

    • Thanks for that - none  of mine  have been Mordena - whilst vulnerable cat, think I will just take my chances… Will be having flu though - certainly not by choice - much prefer not to but in vulnerable group.. Avoided them until last year…. Luck of drawer if you are as sick as fog  or just sore arm … assume - god knows - that flu jab is same throughout country.       
    • Wow, that is what it costs for one prisoner. So they get full board and lodging, 24 hour  monitoring  in over populated prison, we are led to believe, minimum exercise, assume a tv in each cell provided - in USA it is together with wash hand basin and c toilet - some have showers as well.   Clearly this amount of money takes  into account overstretched and overworked prison officers, protection for them, counselling which is, in my opinion a bare minimum dealing with prisoners in all settings. Do if Sweden can look outside the box, why can’t we? Or are we just not bothered at all / read statistics some where that reoffending is normal and to be frank, with economy as it is at the moment re employment, cost of living and homelessness..not surprised they reoffend to get back inside - food provided, roof over your head - much better than street living, mixing with wrong crowd, trying to get roof over your head, find a job where 90 % won’t employ you as been inside..
    • @beansprout The Swedes seem to have a useful strategy with regard to offenders  which has reduced repeat offending.  I agree that prison time for minor offences is a complete waste of time. Even worse is that prisons are "colleges of crime" where inmates learn about how to be do crimes and worst of all, become exposed to drug taking. I wouldn't advocate having chain gangs as in the USA but some strategy for getting them into say manual work under supervision might be useful - especially if it came with a modest wag. This would be significantly cheaper than the £51,100 it costs per year for  keeping one in jail.
