Yeah, I did mean to mention that, but forgot.

And that TV show with the Irish actor, Joe Lynch. It was called "Never Mind the Quality, Feel the Width". Broadcast in the late 60's and very funny. It was about a Jewish and Irish pair of tailors as business partners. Very older posters (like me!) should remember that one.

Yeah, remember that.

I know the films, but couldn't say I knew his name. RIP

The Beverley sisters were a British version of the Andrews Sisters.

Were the Nolan Sisters another version with Kevin being the shittest one?

Funny didn’t know he directed both films.

One was an iconic movie - the other indulgent shite

Hmm, not so sure. Some people seem to actually quite like Don't Look Now.

Good news about HS2 if that were cancelled i would vote tory again as opposed to abstaining

 

[Otis]

If we're cancelled I wouldn't vote for them, but at least I'd stop laughing at them for a little while.

Age is certainly a cruel and undiscriminating thing.
I was just watching some of the moments of George HW Bush's memorial service (on the BBC site).
His son, also an ex-President, gave a moving eulogy.
The thing that got me is that the son now looks really old.
And I can remember his father looking young!

Oh no.

That's awful news. A very talented songwriter and leader of one of my all time favourite bands.

That's really upset me that.

Ahh shite! Only seen them in the summer at the Y not festival.

 

[Otis]

That's upset me more than anyone lately.

Saw Buzzcocks live three times and Pete Shelley when he did his solo show.

Can't believe that.

 

[Johnnythespider]

Gutted, RIP Pete.

 

[Johnnythespider]

That's upset me more than anyone lately.

Saw Buzzcocks love three times and Pete Shelley when he did his solo show.

Can't believe that.

Very sad news.

[eastwoodsdustman]

Never mind.

 

[Otis]

I've had a tear in my eye ever since I first heard last night.

So many great songs, so many memories.

This is amongst my very most favourite Pete Shelly songs.

Beautiful.

Here's a question the youngsters won't understand.
Was Noise Annoys a single or was is a B side?

B side.

Though maybe it could have been a double A.

 

[torchomatic]

Genuinely upset about this. Pete and the Buzccocks first got me into music. Saw "Love You More" on TOTP in Aug 78; I was 12. Stopped getting Shoot (Incorporating Goal) and started getting the NME. Bought all their stuff and his stuff. A genuine hero of mine.

it's on the singles collection Going steady so must have been an A or on a double A side.

You aren't a hero of mine now that you stopped getting Shoot magazine. Probably traded your football stickers for a guitar.

Same here, Torch.

I already had a band, but upon hearing the Buzzcocks I wanted to be the Buzzcocks and sound like the Buzzcocks.

This has upset me so much and my daughter had to come over and console me this morning when she saw me crying.

Such a lovely bloke too.

Will be very sorely missed.

When you look at early videos of him singing and looking so alive, somehow you can't imagine him ever getting old and dying.
I suppose that goes for just about everyone though.

Buzzcocks Torquay town hall in 79 - was a blast - RIP
