If you were on the journey with them then the first three albums by The Undertones (The Undertones/Hynotised/The Positive Touch) are hard to beat (apologies). Still listen to them frequently over 40 yrs later, part of growing up and leaving school etc so very special.

If FIFA implodes and the World Cup ceases in its current format, eventually being run by someone else with a new trophy, does that at least mean we in GB get relief from Baddiel/Skinner/Lightning Seeds singing that effing song as it can’t come home ? youtu.be/RJqimlFcJsM?...

Why not just make it a closed competition for certain teams, a sort of Superbowl where the world champions can only come from a small pool of teams? FIFA should be finished.

Today …. 27th July 2026 … Reform by way of a leaflet drop sought my vote for the Police and Crime Commissioner. The vote was on 16th July 2026. Even Farage can’t organise a piss up in a brewery. BTW- they wouldn’t in a month of Sundays get my vote. Not while I draw breath will I vote for them.
This is not a “smear” as suggested by Mr Tice. It’s a revelation and uncovering of corruption. Again. Police investigate donations by Tice company to Reform UK www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
