    Essex and Goliath...
    Yeah! They were all kinda Luton,
    Rapine and Pillaging...

    ...the sort of behaviour you'd expect from towns like Houghton Conquest, Leighton Buzzard or even the sinister sounding Pulloxhill.
    Whereas Roxton Music never got off the ground...

    Bunker mentality...

    FFS, Ian. I don't want to interfere with a good conspiracy theory....

    Gosh! I stand corrected... your idea is obviously so much better than mine...

    I see it is a lost cause being arch* around here...

    In future I shan't respond to cloth-eared,
    tone deaf scolds.

    *arch (2) adjective:
    deliberately or affectedly playful and teasing

    When in Rome…
    From Hot-Topic’s Brash in pocket

    “We know that there was a medieval warm period that was much warmer than the globe is now, and we know the Roman period was quite a lot warmer than it is now.”

    that explains that whole Roman men-in-skirts thang, then… and Don would’ve loved all the dagger work involved when choosing “ides”
    - oh gosh, look it’s a Black Friday!

    The Battle of the Biscuits continues...

    My understanding was that execs at TV3 were very reluctant to pay the previously-agreed price for the latest 60 Minutes story...

    ...were they just being mindful that they didn't want to piss off their mate Mr Joyce, and his buddies, who enabled the generous (multi-million) funding support for Mediaworks - maybe?

    up against the wall...
    a selection of '80s gig posters from Sydney *
    for your edification... more here

    *some interesting ephemera on links, too.

    I'm still trying to find a trace of The Sheiks
    they were a real fun Sydney band,
    a good night out as I recall...
