Needs more bestial roaring.
Fabulous ! Never thought I would hear the names of Compton and Brearley sung with such gusto…
Yet another socially disfunctional sub-culture for your readership to overlap with. Bring on the venn diagrams
i liked the bit where he said about surrey
That should rank amongst the most ridiculous videos in the tube.
Is he the Rebel MCC?
………rolls drum and clashes top hat at Bert’s gag
We second The Smudge, albeit using a hi-hat (possibly not quite as appreciative a sound).
For a moment I thought you were being equally appreciative of my wit, but no… you were just pedantically pointing out a minor mistake in The Smudge’s comment.
I had been quite pleased that people liked my joke, but now, conforming fully to the First Law of Melancholy, I am sadder than I was before. There’s only one solution – I’ll have to go and look at a graph of Mike Hussey’s batting average.
Bert, we were fully appreciative of what was a fine, fine joke. We hope that sharply declining line cheers you.
We also enjoyed the inadvertent joke in The Smudge’s comment to the extent that we will forever call a hi-hat a top hat from now on.
Toad from Wind in the Willows anyone?
I realised my mistake as soon as I hit the Appeal button. I was, however, confident that someone would correct it. I was not disappointed.
This would be Jim Burke, vocalist/rapper from the mighty 90’s band Collapsed Lung.
You all probably know Collapsed Lung from their song ‘Eat my Goal’, used in many an advert.
If you even have a passing interest, try and get your hands on the albums ‘Jackpot Goalie’ and ‘Cooler’. Collapsed Lung provided 2 of the best gigs in my life, one in a hovel in Derby, the second at Rock City in Notts.
Reform already would you?
Ah, a mention of Rock City in Nottingham – that brings back a few memories…
