Brexit
Brexit. Not the worst sounding word. Imagine if Portugal decided to leave. Porxit?
Hungary wouldn't be bad too, like something boxing related - Huxit (Hookzit).
Anyway best of luck to UK, who said "good fences make good neighbours", sounds good to me.
Good roommates? nah.... never heard of such.
Didn't Chas & Dave have a hit in Berlin with Gerxit?One for Rome's equivalent of Phil Hammond - Itaxit?
When the Dutch need to get rid of persistent phlegm - Hoxit?
When Helsinki decides to opt out - Fixit?
When Zagreb plays dead with the EU? - Croaxit?

Tech wrote: "bang on list, blastro, the eating thing brought back a memory of coming home in the early hours, still buzzin', to find parents still up! aargh! assuming i was fu', my mother prepared me a soda sco..."Ha ha, exactly! You're thinking 'Just go to bed or get on with yer business - are you hanging about cos you suspect something?' and 'Gotta avoid eye contact, but hold on, if I keep looking at the floor they'll know something's wrong... but if I make eye contact they'll see the size of my pupils!'
Could be worse Tech. After one particular all-nighter in Sheff, a mate had chewed and gurned that much that his cheek was swollen almost tennis-ball size - upon getting home, his mother took one look and flattened him with a right-hander!
To be fair, he was a mess but... don't think belting him was really helping matters. : )
Blastro, get radio 6music on if you can. Marshall Jefferson's live in the mix at this very moment! Today is their "all day rave" day.
Not the best of transitions there but what a tune!!! Sweeeeeet harmony!! My mistake, it was Someday. Uses same piano sample.
Hey, who the hell am I to tell Marshal Jefferson how to mix??? Legend.
Actually, don't think he's doing much mixing, just playing tunes really!
When i first switched on I thought he was laying one beat over another and it sounded like the 'outro' of a mix, but what I heard after that sounded like there was no effort to mix.Might be being a little hard on him but with his experience he should be able to mix anything... in his sleep! Don't get me wrong, ya can get away with it when you're a bit hammered yourself and playing to a loyal crowd all off their trolleys - all they want is the tunes, but in a straight-up radio session? Shouldn't be hard to do. Beeb probably not paying him enough - if owt. Didn't hear the start. Was he on there to promote anything like new material or owt?
Don't think he was there just to promote something. He has some live dates coming up but I should think that they'll be popular anyway. He's possibly got an autobiog coming out in the next year or two (think it was him that was talking about that). He wasn't overly chatty!His full live "mix" from the other day is available here:-

top 10 clash - from singles,1 - know your rights
2 - complete control
3 - armagideon time/justice tonight/kick it over
4 - white man in hammersmith palais
5 - white riot
6 - bankrobber/robber dub
7 - straight to hell
8 - tommy gun
9 - the magnificent seven/the magnificent dance

3 - janey jones
4 - clampdown
5 - ghetto defendant
6 - garageland
7 - drug stabbing time
8 - guns of brixton
9 - washington bullets
10 - car jamming
Washington Bullets is a bit hard to listen to these days, given what happened in Nicaragua fairly soon after Sandinista was released and the subsequently revealed nature of the Afghan rebels whose stand against Moscow was applauded. Very much a song of its time, I'd say. I greatly prefer The Call Up.Definitely agree with #3, 4, 5 (obviously), 8 and 10, though.

Coulda swore it was. Gonna have to check on that now.Dammit! We got flies buzzin all over t'place and some of em are Stable Flies or some such which apparently like to bite - ya don't feel the little baskets bite but the itching afterwards sends ya insane!! Bloody fly papers up everywhere, it's like Twisted Christmas or summat! Damn those bloody things.

10 records that disappointed the shunk out of me so much that that was the end of it,1 - 'grand passion' - doll by doll (thing is, if it had been jackie leven's first solo record, it would have been fine, except for the needless version of 'under my thumb'.)
2 - 'hard' - gang of four (let's become the thompson twins!)
3 - 'cut the crap' - the clash (just awful, not worthy of the name!)
4 - 'goodbye cruel world' - elvis costello and the attractions (turgid and lifeless)
5 - 'lord upminster' - ian dury (one classic and seven duds, in spite of/because of the involvement of sly 'n' robbie.
6 - 'dare' - the human league (phil oakey didn't take it with him, ware and marsh didn't take it with them, and that brilliant combination was gone)
7 - 'flowers of romance' - public image limited (never the same without wobble and levine)
8 - 'road to ruin' - ramones (half brilliant, to be fair, but that lust for a hit single was stifling them)
9 - 'adventure' - television (everything 'marquee moon' was, this wunt!
10 - 'magic murder and the weather' - magazine (no mcgeoch, no depth)

Keith Levene is on 'Flowers of Romance', described at the time as possibly the least commercial album ever delivered to a record company. He was only sacked after releasing his own mix of the follow-up, 'This is what you want, this is what you get'
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_F...
It's a funny thing. The drum sound on the album impressed Phil Collins so much he used the engineer for his own solo record.
combined, tim, combined! phil collins? bandwagonist!
Tech wrote: "combined, tim, combined! phil collins? bandwagonist!"
Ah, you gotta blame Wobble's sticky fingers then. Naughty to pinch your boss's backing tracks for your solo project!
The prog is everywhere, tech. Lydon was a fan of Peter 'Van Der Graaf Generator' Hammill, and Levene roadied for Yes and got a couple of lessons from Steve Howe. ;-)
i know! that's why i ain't bought any of their stuff since 'metal box'! also, logically, lydon must have bought a pink floyd t-shirt to have altered it to 'i hate....' - he was weak! it should also be noted that lydon's taste in reggae is impeccable (so he's no a total wash oot!).....and again, weirdly (mibbe no), apart from a few bit' 'n' bobs i don't care much for wobble's post p.i.l. stuff.
Trojan's Rudeboy documentary film sounds like a good 'un!

Ah, very good! I like that.

Don't know how to break the news to the butler-type-dude (Alfred?) that his services are no longer required, mind.Yes, hence forth, this hovel shall be known as the Blast Zone! My thanks Brass, it has a much better ring to it, I reckon.

Some funnies up there but... gotta 'ave a larff aint ya?
ARRRGGGHHH!!! ;oOI'm not laughing? ... I'm hiding behind the Sofa and I'm not coming out!!!
Oh dear, I misspelled 'Shaun' in SOTD. Duhh!! Do ya not like horror flicks then Suze?
Absolutely not! - I'm very easily scared - LOL!!! ;o>I went to see 'Fatal Attraction' at our very small local Cinema and you know the bit where Glenn Close is supposedly drowned in the Bath and suddenly rises up with a Knife? ... well I was SO caught up in it all and not expecting it (like everyone else apparently was) that I absolutely screamed my Head off!!!
I've never ever done that before, or since, in public - and I was SO mortified that I slid so far down in my Seat that I was virtually sat on the Floor by the time the Lights came up and everyone else turned around laughing to see who it was?!! ... my friend just sat there staring straight ahead and kept hissing ... "You complete and utter daft bobbin!" ... at me!!! ... HA HA HA HA HA!!! ;o>
Ha, best avoiding jump-scares and stuff then I guess. Fatal Attraction? Wouldn't that be back in the days of curtains over the cinema screen, which upon opening, would be met with much applause and whistling? "Smokers to the left please" and "Pa-pa pa-pa pa-pa pa-pa-da-da-da-pa-pa Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-paaaaah dah!" Pearl & Dean? : )
Miss those days, so I do.
We have a couple of tiny Cinemas around here that still offer us that ;o>One of them is this one ... https://www.facebook.com/pg/marplecin...
My husband went to see ‘The Robe’ in his local fleapit in 1953. It was the first Cinemascope picture and the screen hadn’t been adapted to the new wide format. To the great delight of the Liverpool audience, Richard Burton exited right, apparently straight into the Gents’.
Hence the expression "Gone for a Burton!"
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the picture quality, surround sound (remember seeing Saving Private Ryan when those incredible Omaha Beach scenes were rammed home with the surround sound and bullets seemingly whistling past one's head) and other benefits of today's cinemas (cleanliness?) but still... there's a certain lack of atmosphere I reckon. Maybe it's just a 'rose tinted spectacles' kinda thing with me I dunno.
EDIT - SPR was quite a way back now in the late 90s. Were they using SS back then? It felt like it at the time - and it was in the new multiplex that had all mod cons - but maybe I just made a bit of a tw@ of meself there! : )
My main point remains however - many things changed by the 90s re cinema, with many of em being ripped down (for a while we had to go to Sheffield from here to see a film as we'd lost both cinemas in Chesterfield) and tho new ones in other locations eventually replaced em, the 'atmosphere thing' seemed to die with the old buildings.
You remembered!
