As Billy Boy once wrote:

“tender churl, mak’st waste in niggarding:
Pity the world, or else this glutton be,
To eat the world’s due, by the grave and thee.”

Ah, but Churles, you maybe assume that Gez’s site is somehow where HMHB fans live when they’re not eating or sleeping, whereas I’m going to humbly suggest that a decent number of visitors here have probably never been to that fashionably black place. We’re just approaching our 200,000th visit here since records began, and something like 55% of them came from Google. So straighten your tie (and your act), your ramblings may be one of the first things many people ever read about the band!

Seems to be an unwritten rule on here that nobody should ever be churlish enough to point out the unwritten rules.

Like the fact that if it’s on hmhb.co.uk, well we assume everyone knows.

Not that Gez is always 100% right, but anyway I’m so churlish these days that I’ve turned into an actual churl

Rainer Werner is probably Fassbinder:

R-A-D-A is probably The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (which Branagh attended):

Kenneth Branagh & Emma Thompson, who were married luvvies, darling.

Both slappable.

Not happy with Kenneth, Emma, although might be the two voices overlapping that confuse… sounds more like….
Kendif.. Emba.. althought can’t think what on earth might replace it….

And I think RADA should be R.A.D.A. or R A D A or R-A-D-A otherwise I want ot pronounce it Rada like Lada…

Home time – yippee!!

From the Blackfoot Sue website: "After coming home from a gig, they would unload their gear out of the van and straight away set it back up in their front room, ready for rehearsing and noodling out new song ideas. It was here that Standing In The Road was written, in January 1972, during an extended jam session, based on a rhythm that had come to David in a dream!" I hoped it was true, I must admit. I don't think any members of Blackfoot Sue ever went on to become burly physios, non-league or otherwise.

I think that they were all Villa fans though.

Sad to say it wasn’t.
