Yeah I know. It was one of the Wailers first EPs. It always takes me back to deeply stoned days on beaches in the Transkei listening to an old ratafarian's clapped out tape player.


I quite enjoyed the Bosstones take on it though. They are one of those bands that always show little respectful Homages to their roots in their videos and songs. Like this one

Which is a bit specials or is that just madness?

Is it just me or are The Pogues getting more Christmassy than turkey and tinsel?


How many nights at Brixton did they do last year? Did anyone from the forum go? Is there a view as to whether they might add the Saturday night? I would quite like to go but would prefer the Saturday.

OK now I'm about to expose my mean streak. Here's a news story that made me pee myself laughing this week.


http://www.nme.com/news/foo-fighters/39250


Basically a nobody band at Reading called the FFs got mistaken for the Foo Fighters. Yeah right. The Foos are so gonna cut short a US tour and pay air-fare just to play a tiny nothing stage at Reading. So a crowd of about 3,000 showed up all dizzy with anticipation and on came the poor old FFs to a very mean reception. Well that was so gonna happen. But here's where it gets freaky. After bottling off the FFs, the crowd actually hung around for the next band and bottled them off as well. For the love of God why would they do that? Was it a slow day? In my mind's eye I'm seeing the scene from the Life of Brian when Brian gets followed home and abused by his "followers". I'm sorry but that really cracks me up (I told you I had a mean streak).


The funniest thing of all (for me) is that my friend Paul actually used the C word and called them all a bunch of mean-spirited Cs. My friend Paul NEVER uses that word so that alone sets me off and just the memory of it made me laugh out loud on the 176 this morning.


Finally, if you believe the NME report, shoes were thrown at the stage. How freakin pissed off/stoned do you need to be to throw your shoes at someone and spend the rest of the day barefoot?

      Foxes

      By Lynne · Posted

      Every night a fox is dragging our small solar powered pump out from the pond and chewing through the cable.  Two questions. One, of course, is why? What does it gain from it? Second is how can we stop it . We've tried taking the pump out at night but since most of the cable runs under the path, we can't put it very far away. We've tried weighing it down after removal but the fox, after a couple of days has learned to push the weights away. It seems to be enjoying the contest. We're not. Any fox experts with suggestions would be welcomed.

      How oversubscribed are the local schools? Will they be able to take on students who are currently privately-educated?

      By lollol · Posted

      Southwark and Lambeth may have some spaces but this is not the case of other London boroughs nearby particularly at secondary level. Also this is not just a London issue. There are many regions throughout the UK that have no school places available (eg Kent due to new housing developments, rural areas, Surrey, Guildford, Edinburgh etc). Just because you feel it doesn’t affect you, does not mean it’s right.  You also need to consider the proportion of foreign students in many of the private schools in the area which distorts the impression that local people can pay private school fees and suck up an additional £4-5k per child and per year. And sadly, the psychological and emotional impact on children is not even being discussed.

      Education not taxation - please consider signing this petition!

      By lollol · Posted

      Step in a child’s shoes just for one moment and think what it would be like to have to move schools in the middle of the year away from your friends, teachers, community etc. due to a political stunt. I doubt the money will even go into education. The UK will be become the only European country to tax education. Primary schools have some capacity where I live but I have enquired and there are currently no places for secondary school where I live. Again, so easy to be smug and say we should have pre planned a potential outcome 5 years ago when you live in your £2-3m homes next to the best state schools in Dulwich (like Keir Starmer!)
