To me, it looks like The Jam.

I'm also fed up of scrolling for ages to get down to the year of my birth.

It wasn't me who couldn't find anything interesting to do on Sundays.

You're even boring me, now.

I'm not surprised you had no friends with that attitude.

If you had no friends to do things with, then I suppose it might have been.

Sundays were only boring if you were a boring person.

I loved in a place where the pubs were shut on Sunday. It was okay. It's not as if you go to the pub seven days a week, anyway.

Fuel companies aren't really suffering from ULEZ, all newly manufactured vehicles are ULEZ compliant, so it's not that. Has anyone else been railing against Net Zero who could have influenced him. Rhymes with "dice"?

Although the help available for cancer sufferers could be better, it's many times better than the help available for dementia sufferers. You're effectively left on your own.

How would that work? I'm not sure that the "small boats" would be fitted with AIS? How would the app be able to track them?

You'll also be disappointed when you find out where the battle of Stamford Bridge took place.

I agree, it's thrown about so much that it's lost its power. It's the same thing that's happening to antibiotics.

It’s true. I only watch Peep Show on Netflix, not that I mind.

People want to go and see somebody famous and not too edgy. The music isn’t important as long as they can post pictures of the concert on Instagram. See also, Coldplay.

There are many Lily Savage outtakes on YouTube of when she was hosting Blankety Blank. It's mostly her slagging off the floor manager. Highly entertaining.

And look at the concert schedule. I know they were young, but that must have taken a toll. concerts.fandom.com/wiki/The_Jam

6 studio albums between 1972 and 1982. That must have taken a creative toll, and be honest, The Gift wasn’t great.

Like I said, they were past their peak.

They are the most ruthless of journalists. Heaven help anyone that tries to take away their cushy job of international travel and reading out press releases. They're vicious, vicious people. See also - Simon Calder.

It saddened me to see how many people volunteered at the Champions League final in Cardiff. They got sandwiches and a uniform, not even minimum wage. It's not as if UEFA aren't short of a bob or two.

And, during the 80s, they did thirty date tours of the UK, not just London, Birmingham and Manchester. I can remember seeing bands like Dr Feelgood or Rockpile on consecutive nights in Swansea and Cardiff.

I had a wardrobe full of 1970s NMEs and Melody Makers at my parent's house until my mother had a clear out in the 90s.

Or even queue up for them. I mean a real physical queue, not an internet queue.

Search for "Olympic volunteer programme". It's appalling that a multi billion dollar organisation won't pay workers.

Also, some way of showing how much better it would be to take a bus. To be fair, Citymapper and Google Maps are pretty good at this.

I had a similar awakening when I found out how close Leicester Square and Piccadilly Circus were.

Nobody asks the reason why you're applying for a postal vote, so how would they know?
