Fascinating thread

Oh!

As much as I like Prince, just had to turn 6Music off as it was all becoming just a bit too banal

Times or Chuck Tingle?

Sale are just terrible. They are as good as on the Dubai sun loungers already.

I see Christian Calgie’s ‘mental health’ episode has resulted in him moving to the Daily Mail. Entirely suited for each other.

Up early for #Recordstoreday Really pleased with my haul this year

nice argument, unfortunately I have already depicted myself as a beautiful unbothered beaver and you as an impotently hissing goose

Whatever could it be….

Won’t somebody think about the little people for once….
