Somebody's given this quite a bit of thought, just recently.

"The end result is not ideal: the harlequin affectations and meandering frilliness of British prog, delivered like a can of piss hurled into the back of your head."


"I'm certain ? albeit for no particular reason ? that Fish is a really nice bloke, and not for the first time I feel like I'm chucking an old teddy bear onto the landfill."

Tough gig, yeah. But plenty of places where he could cut back on expenses... he's probably still stuck in a "big band" mentality, even though he's now playing to a few hundred people. e.g. bringing your own lighting guy and backline tech on tour is just not necessary at this level of touring.

ok so I've genuinely met Fish (several times) and can confirm he is officially a very nice bloke and massively down to earth. He's also about 7 ft tall. He was a neighbour of ours back in a land of golden barley fields, beyond Hadrians wall.


Some (but not al) of his solo stuff is in fact pretty decent.

Strange/lovely place, East Lothian.


Ragged sandstone keeps and castles spike flat, blood-soaked fields that gentry-farmers reap so they can send their large-toothed sons up to Belhaven, Loretto and Sandhurst.


Audi-driving Edinburgh commuters flash past lost islands of ex-mining, two-buses-a-day, pebble-dashed misery.


Hungry seagulls rail at the North Sea all along the golf coast.


Not surprise Mr Dick got a bit...introspective at times. That and all the drucks, obvs.

    • @Jenijenjen I assure you we are always polite and friendly too! Which is why the behaviour we have been receiving is so frustrating. The kids always leave her with a “Thank you have a lovely day”  Our concern is leaving the gate slightly wedged doesn’t stop the action of slamming it open and closed…still leading to damage  
    • If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
