Apparently this is the gig that got him noticed in the UK:


Next week's enlightening discussion: Which cheese do you like?



I really like brie!


People who like brie are complete tools.


A bit of brie is ok, but I couldn't eat a whole wheel.


I used to like brie but then I really got into gouda and couldn't eat brie again.


I loved brie before everybody started eating it. Now I only eat edam.




etc

No but *Bob* has a point.


I only ever ate Mir?, but lets face it, everybody has eaten that and it makes me feel a bit ill, so i nibbled on some banksy, bute's a brizzle cunt obviously, so i make do with nibbling the corners of Rembrandts in Capability's gardens.

All shit I grant you, but you know, better than listening to girls aloud or the fall.

John Lennon .... Power to the People , Merry Christmas War Is Over ...


Paul Mc Cartney has written sonme beautiful tunes and still does ... and his solo stuff is far better than John Lennons' INMHO ....


"Maybe I'm Amazed" is one of the best songs ever written ( in my view )



It's not meant to be taken seriously *Bob*- it's all just a ploy to drag a thread up to the late 90's so Quids can nip in and score the century!


But, in the words of the Scandinavian maestros-


"Thankyou for the music, the song I'm singing,

Thanks for all the joy it's bringing,

Who could live without it, I ask in all honesteeeee,

What would life beeeeee..."

Salvador Dali liked the rolling stones, so there's cheese & music.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
