Which Terry Wogan had the good manners to play while I was enjoying my breakfast in Rock Steady Eddies at Camberwell this morning.

But it's not that one JB.

Ah yes but rather than being a peculiarly catholic tradition, Shrove Tuesday and eating pancakes is actually a British Isles tradition. A lot of the Catholic world tends to celebrate it as Mardi Gras which involves heavy drinking and taking our clothes off. This may or may not have something to do with the Pope tossing his pancakes. Anyway I knew what you meant I was just being silly. Is it Mott the Hoople?

No you're not, JB I won't allow it. I can't.

I insist you identify the song that commences with the word 'Honaloochie' and the second word in the title begins with the letter 'B' and comprises six letters.

And it's by a group whose name is an anagram of Moth Poet Hotel.

(I wish I could claim credit for that, but it's actually a highly sought-after cover version LP of said group)

Now the clues are all there, just say what you see.

Well done JL. I reckon the others knew too but were just indulging in teasage.

So over to your good self for the next set of lyrics.

Could I put in a preemptive bid for the group being The Faces?

I mean you never know.

I sort of know this - it's from The New York Album. I bought this CD in New York when it first came out and I listened to it non-stop. Couldn't tell you the track without getting up and going downstairs and, to be honest, I just haven't got it in me right now to do that - I'm tucked up in bed (I lead a quiet life don't ya know). Anyway, it's Lou Reed, New York album.

      Fly the flag

      It's regrettable that impact of the various topics of immigration have escalated to the level that people have to protest their unhappiness and that laws have to be rewritten, and yet people complain that those protesting are racist.

      Fly the flag

      I remember in the 70s the Union Jack was similarly appropriated by the National Front and later the British Party, I regarded it in the same way many perceive the St George's flag today. The Union Jack went through a period of rehabilitation in the 90s and probably viewed more positively by the left today. I wonder though if the anti immigration groups who have appropriated the St George;s flag realise that St George was born in what is modern day Turkey.

      Certainly there are issues with  immigration which need to be addressed, but setting fire to buildings with immigrants in them is not the way to address them. Many (not all) of these people are fleeing from terrible situations in their own countries, and I can't even imagine what it must be like to finally reach somewhere where they hope they will be safe only to be "greeted" with violence and hostility. It makes me ashamed to be English, not proud. And yes, some of these people are here illegally, some of them are criminals or perpetrate attacks on women or whatever. And are dealt with accordingly. I read recently, and I don't know if it is true, that over 60% of the men arrested at the scene of attacks on immigrants and their temporary homes have previous convictions for  or are known to the police for domestic violence. Maybe look at yourselves first, eh, before trying to imply that because a few  immigrants commit a crime here therefore they are all criminals and shouldn't be allowed into our country. Why would someone fly the English flag in the present climate for any reason apart from being anti immigration?  What is a very unhealthy view? Are you replying to me? Yes the immigration law badly needs to be amended. I completely agree. I don't think I've said anything which implies otherwise?

      That’s a very unhealthy view.  Particularly when the very top echelons admit that the immigration law is out of date and not relevant and is being amended as we speak.
