Well the painting is lovely. But I'm wondering whether it's an onion squash rather than a pumpkin. If it is, they are one of the nicest varieties . Just slice it into segments, dowse them in a smidgen of oil and roast them at 220°C for 35 minutes. Failing that, stick it on the compost heap 😊

Thank-you so much for replying. I am very happy I now know the whole song. xxx

I fucking loved Newcastle before this. Now I love it even more.

I'm genuinely interested in how you get on. I find the whole system impenetrable and unintuitive. But perhaps I'm just getting old.

Well for me - and I've very limited experience, I reckon that's about as expert as it gets - relaxed sheep, no nicks, fleece off in one pass, and a smooth, close finish. Unless someone can tell me different, I make it a really good job.

Sooo bad for my sleep pattern.

It's going to be a difficult summer - you might want to consider -

So, no double entendre or innuendo at all then 😆😆😆😆😆

Got mine - arrived on Saturday as I was on my way to see Blue Oyster Cult at the London Palladium so I will be very much enjoying Stereolab over the coming week.

Oh the irony! Both players ex Man Utd.

Yeah - agree. Pocket is a great song. With some great lines and a great arrangement - I love the 'overhead there's a rumble/747' lyric. I caught the band on all the UK dates of that tour and they played it every night from memory.

Although Heaven Forbid is rather unfairly overlooked from their later catalogue. Damaged still gives me the goosebumps when I hear it.

Oh yeah!!!!

Brilliant cross-field ball for the assist too.

Ahhh - April 1st. Of course stuff is going to happen on Mars today!
