I guess it depends how you define rock'n'roll. In a narrow sense, feat twanging Gibson E335 guitars and stand-up bass, it may just be a retro scene. But it still permeates so much guitar music, from punk to indie rock. Anyway, here's His Lordship rockin' out! 🎸😀

Just bought a download of Tuk Smith & The Restless Hearts' new 'Troubled Paradise' 4 track EP - another blast of Tuk's Thin Lizzy-meets-Cheap Trick romantic rock'n'roll. Here's the aching closer 'Love Don't Live Here Anymore'! 🎸😀 #ClassicRock #HardRock #Musicsky www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvRS...

And miraculously, no penalties to Celtic, no Dundee players sent off, and less than 17 minutes of time added on! 😮

I don't think it's anywhere near universal, though chunks of the media would like us all to believe it. But like you I've been disappointed. Labour should have been bolder - I reckon there would have been a lot of support for that.

Great track! 👍

And how many know what to call it? 🤔

The version on Live And Dangerous is terrific, culminating in a magnificent segue into The Boys Are Back In Town.

This is a lie.

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years.

But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

Not entirely, for sure. And long may it continue!

Let’s hope they don’t replace him with someone who has a clue.

My son was going too. Hope it was a good one!

It is possible to cherish the BBC as an institution while also saying that BBC News is failing very badly, day after day, in its duty to inform and that it always fails in a right-wing direction. It desperately needs to recover its integrity

Here is the Sun's pitifully small apology for its lie about benefits tourism - a lie that was accepted as truth by millions and helped deliver Brexit.

These lies are perverting our democracy. At a minimum, apologies should be published in the same location and size as the lie.

Yes - to see the Rolling Stones in 2022!

He did okay in his first season - showed a lot of dig, a bit of pace, and scored a few goals to complement Shankland. But he really didn’t kick on - in fact went backwards. Time to go.

Iain Cameron @analogkid62.bsky.social · Sep 14

Absolutely not black socks.

Iain Cameron @analogkid62.bsky.social · Sep 11

Another right-wing wanker. Their self-importance is off the charts. 🤨

Iain Cameron @analogkid62.bsky.social · Sep 11

This member of the public certainly doesn't. And as for that venal has-been Johnson, suggesting Kirk's views "used to be common sense", he is, as ever, a sh*tebag. 🤨

Iain Cameron @analogkid62.bsky.social · Sep 11

A decent album - but a pretty dodgy cover.

Iain Cameron @analogkid62.bsky.social · Sep 11

I’ve never heard of this guy before, but he sounds utterly ghastly. And as for Johnson - “what used to be common sense” - he is, as ever, a c*nt.
