Wishing I Was Lucky - By those two Scots geezers. Brothers they were, one was a journo. Kane that was the surname. Pat that was the singer, the journo. Can't remember the other one's name, though I can picture him in my mind's eye. Had a socialist agenda as I recall. Them anyway.

Pat Kane was lead singer of Hue and Cry, and is indeed a journalist with leftist leanings.

Wishing I Was Lucky was a hit for Wet Wet Wet, Marti Pellow et al, and being well known as fans of Glasgow Rangers Football Club are considered by Pat Kane and friends as a bunch of dirty orange bastards...see you!

Thanks RD. It was Labour Of Love I was thinking about, now I am actually thinking.

So the wrong song for group whose name I couldn't remember.

I'm voluntarily going on the naughty step.

    • Yiddish is written in Hebrew script, traditionally, so any attempt to use 'Roman' script will be transliteration, as noted. Hebrew script does not have vowels as such, so any vowels used will try to copy the Yiddish sound of the word. Bagel and Beigel are both correct transliterations of the Yiddish word. 
    • Have they still not fixed it? that's pretty shabby. I took this picture on New Year's Day and it's been like this at least since before Xmas.     
    • To be fair, if I saw you eating any of the parcels I'd have walked out. I noticed last night that the illuminated sign now describes this place as the POT OFFICE. Presumably THC vapes are more profitable than being a drop-off point for bloody Evri
    • Housebuilding isn't that profitable and housebuilders don't have social responsibilities. The affordable housing component is just a tax on new builds. It's a total failure by government - a fantasy belief that the private sector is going to solve the state's social housing crisis for free. It's like expecting Tesco to solve child humgrr by giving away a percentage of its products. It's not gonna work - it just slows down and disincentivises private sector construction of new housing. The only solution to the housing crisis is a massive increase in the supply of housing, not a couple of "affordable" flats in a new development. The state needs to solve the problem of NIMBYs (one of whom is prominent on this thread), get out of the way of private sector developers building private rentals and homes for sale, and borrow to build a huge amount of social housing.
