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.

    • Another bite for JAGS ( James Allen Girls school) classes are excellent too. There is also Dulwich boys but less light and airy )might be better nor as haven’t been for a while) 
    • Photos. Every single piece of litter in that photo (if you enlarge it you can see lots more pieces) was dropped by the bin men in the background. I don't blame them - it would destroy their backs to pick it all up. Perhaps they should try to not drop so much litter in the first place...  These photos were taken on the 1st March - a Saturday. The street cleaner, who does an excellent job around Underhill Road and Melford Road, bags up the rubbish and leaves them on a Thursday generally. They are supposed to be collected the same day or the next day at the latest. They weren't collected. The first photo was November. It was a very large number of poo bags. I reported it to Southwark but they took 3 days to collect it. In the meantime the bags were squashed and the faeces was spread everywhere, photo 2. It would mean that everyone who walked along that bit of road will have spread it a bit further, along with the vehicles, so that it went into a lot of people's houses.  Over to you Sue. In this photo you can see the litter that was dropped by the bin men (I feel bad as they are really nice and work really hard often going into people's properties to get the bins that weren't put out - usually at a semi-jog speed; it must be exhausting and its not their fault that Southwark doesn't give them enough time to do their job properly. Maybe they should sack their team of EDF astro-turfers to save some money?), the split blue bag with some birds sorting the contents on the pavement, and the refuse truck in the background. I don't blame the workers, I blame Southwark. I am also annoyed at you, Sue, for saying this is an exaggeration and is basically a lie; something you do all over the forum (along with the cycling trolls). I have a lot more pictures too.
    • No need to provoke you since you respond constantly to everything. It is not a gross exaggeration - I took photos. Do you not like people answering back? A bit head girl aren't you. Unkempt roads and weed-lifted pavements with dog faces bags all over the place - when the blue bags, which are regularly not collected by the LA, are split open by foxes. Again, I have photos.
