1st time I saw them was in Coasters, a wee-ish venue in Edinburgh, in April 83.
The next was on the main stage at Glastonbury in 87.
Never occurred to me before that the time period was just 4 years.
A phenomenal rise in a relatively short period of time.

Just finished rewatching the awesome Dollars trilogy, that all American😉spaghetti western trio that Trump probably loves. Never remembered that the GBad & U was 3 hrs long. How in the name of F did childhood me manage through that?
Old me just thinking, shit, that was a lot of wine. Worth it though.

I’m beginning to believe Nigel Farage may well be the next UK PM.
The fact the media are giving him a pass for hissing into the ears of his Jewish schoolmates makes me think it’s already decided.
No other politician of any party survives that.
We need out this Union.

Over the years you follow the advice to reduce power consumption to save money. Replace tungsten bulbs with halogen, then led, buy more efficient appliances.
Yet, you end up paying more, a lot more.
Someone cynical might assume the whole damned thing is intended simply to make you pay more for less.

It's best to think of the Scotch Whisky Association as a modern day East India Company, who's purpose is the extraction of wealth, and the protection of wealth extraction, from the colony, by it's members.
The Scotch Whisky Association has responded to the Chancellor’s decision to further increase duty on Scotch whisky, saying it will put 'additional pressure on a sector suffering job losses, stalled investment and business closures'

Anyone have any idea why there are almost no mainstream convertible EVs? There's Fiat/Abarth 500s, and for much more money the MG Cybertster, and that seems to be about it.
