Deeply unfashionable groups who have a decent body of work...

Did a splurge on replacing missing/lost/vinyl Charlatans back catalogue.


Dismissed as the also-rans of baggy, they've actually spoent twenty years changing, growing and producing some pretty decent stuff.

Mind you have you seen Tim Burgess lately, I think his grip on reality may not be quite what it was!!

Don't know if The Charlatans could be classed as deeply unfashionable. "Also-rans of baggy" also seems a bit harsh. While they didn't reach the fame of The Stone Roses/Happy Mondays/Primal Scream, they were always more credible than stuff like The Farm/Inspiral Carpets/etc.


But yeah, Tim Burgess... not the most talkative/articulate of fellows. He comes across as quite introverted, quite surprised he agreed to give a talk on anything!

    • £30-40 for M&S Christmas food for two seems very low! And only £60 for food and drink for 8-10 people?  We have had M&S food at Christmas in the past, and it came to a lot more than that. I suppose it depends exactly what you are buying. We left it late to book a Christmas Day meal out last year, so there weren't many options left.  The Cherry Tree menu looked very nice. That was our first mistake. We also overlooked the fact that it was a Young's pub, with all that implies about the food. That was our second mistake. We don't have shedloads of money. We  took the view that we deserved a nice meal  out after working bloody hard all year. So it was doubly disappointing to basically waste a lot of money which could have been very much better  spent elsewhere.
    • No sweetheart. It is a fantastic sermon which should be shared. It is a rights-based sermon which received a standing ovation - if you can be bothered to get to the end.
    • Welcome back. What have voting intentions got to do with this thread? And much as you may hate the present incarnation of so-called Labour, as do I,  I don't think it is true that they have "not done a single positive thing for working class people", is it? And how exactly are you defining "working class people", anyway? 
    • I can’t bear the media “is this racist comment racist” angle taken to reporting it. I feel like she’s a useful out rider for Farage to test how far they can take their rhetoric - it’s not the first time she’s said things that cross over the line. Overt racism is becoming far more commonplace and it’s deeply concerning.
