Absolutely! The thought of BlueSky being a haven from those hard-of-thinking folk that pushed us out of the other place is but a mere pipe dream.

Many commenting with pure outrage on this thread would do well to read the story.

Fair point, I blame old age and beer! I get through many more pints at home than I do attending the match on person!

I was admiring the sponsorless shirt and thinking of West Ham a few years back when they didn't have a sponsor how much nicer the shirts look!

As I understand it, we all need a little rowing boat to get to heaven. If the lyrics to The Clapping Song have taught me anything, that is.

There's a couple of pubs in Pompey that have unusally short opening hours and I respect that, I assume it is keeping them afloat. I prefer to go to these pubs when I can (they're proper pubs with well-kept beers, yes bitter too!) rather than succumb to a world of Wetherspoons open 'til 2am.

Same as all her other releases. I have 4 TS albums on vinyl not a one of which is black! The fans seem to love it. So much so my 20-y-old daughter wanted a record player for her birthday and now she plays TS alongside her other favourites: (I kid you not) Billy Joel, Don MacLean and The Eagles.

8 actually. Of the 10 on Discogs two are doubled for some reason.

Still mad, I grant you!

Why don't they ever do the reverse? Only Fools And Horses with real fools? And horses?
Live At The Apollo with those blokes (it's always blokes) from the pub with think they are hilarious?
Big Bang Theory with actual theoretical physicists? So much scope...

Broadly I agree but plummeting sales of LP/CDs has hit hard.

Streaming income is chicken feed. If your chicken is dead and not eating so much these days.

I don't have a real limit as such. £90 for Iron Maiden last year was OK. £30 for Belly last month and £8 for Bemis on 22 Oct better still!

Agreed, and I suspect we'll see Chaplin rise to the challenge just as Matt did once he's adjusted to be teammates.
