1 loose song and 1 EP:

1996 - Mad Sun, a track from the Blissard period. A very echo-ey effort much in line with their alternative rock period.

1999 - The Other Fool EP. Now we're talking! One of my very favourite MP tracks (albeit in edited form here). Such a great tune, the opener for Let Them Eat Cake, this has it all: great song writing, playing, lyrics, a bass that souds like ahuge cat is purring under your seat, acoustic guitars, strings, a horns section. Fantastic!
(Yes I am aware this ios not the clip, but ths is the full version, which does it justice!)

We end proceedings with Funk '99 which is very ehm, funky

One minute.

Well I was up for just a gentle 25 miler today and that's just what I did. Got me over 170 miles for the week for the first time this year, which will do. I had thought about just doing 20 laps round Calow, but Calow's not the sort of place you want to draw attention to yourself and I don't want to end up as a pie filling in Wigan, so I bailed out after three.

Certainly felt warmer than 11C though, could have gotten away with shorts, but hey-ho.

Strong stuff from Forest. I applaud them for speaking out.

Quote from: Thenop on April 21, 2024, 04:12:48 PMPogi yes, but MvdP might even be a more impressive achievement. I think he weighs well over 10kg more than any of them. Climbers are featherweights while he's approaching heavy weight fighting realms.

oh MvdP will never win a Grand Tour, but in the Ardennes classics the climbs are shorter and punchier so his power can get him over.

I heard this morning that Eric Moody died last week.

Eric was piloting a British Airways 747 over Jakarta in 1982 when the engines started to misbehave. Shortly afterwards all four of them flamed out, choked by an ash cloud from a volcano that the aircraft had flown through, transforming it into a glider.

Famously, Moody announced to the passengers that there was a "small problem".

Fortunately by the time the 747 had descended to 13,000 feet twelve minutes later the air was oxygen-rich enough to overcome the choking effect of the ash buildup over the critical flow areas, so that the engines could be restarted. They were returned to Rolls-Royce in Derby to be stripped down to their component parts and examined.

After they landed, the flight engineer is said to have kissed the ground. When Eric asked him what he was doing he replied that "the Pope does this".

"That's because he flies Air Alitalia", came the reply.
