I think that song might have kept Suzanne Vega’s Tom’s Diner off the one spot. 1990ish wasn’t it?

For anyone disappointed by how their Equity for Punks investment turned out, I’ll point out i) you can claim a capital loss for tax purposes to offset future gains, and ii) I have some amazing magic beans that you may be interested in.

As a student I was working in a library, and turned round to see Yasser Arafat looking intently over my shoulder at the book I was reading.

Turns out he was a punk after all.

If I am honest, I still remember about 85% of the words. Loved Partners in Kryme!

You got the sense that whoever worked on Oink was putting in huge amounts of effort. Absolutely loved it.

DogsPunkIPA is no more. Perhaps there is a God after all?

I remember having The Beano, Buster, Funday Times, Transformers, Battle Action Force and Eagle, and Oink delivered to the house as a kid. Having to shake whatever daily newspaper my folks had at the time to locate where it had been concealed. The disappointment on those days it failed to come!

If my mum made me go into her school on a weekend to help with something, I used to draw Jimmy the Butcher on her blackboard before I left in the hope it’d be there for her primary school class when they got in on a Monday.

I’ve seen a missing apostrophe. Must have given it to the government.

Can someone report Matt Goodwin to Trading Standards for false advertising?

Allister Heath of The Telegraph would express his feat that the chilling rise of dogs with tiny cocks proves that his beloved culture war is already lost, if he weren’t gagged by his paymasters.

Best thing I ever did was get silently released from a job in Leeds and end up working from home in Sheffield. Cutting the commute costs was an immediate pay rise. Plus…fucking Leeds. Brudenell aside, what is point?

Wasn’t he supposed to be fixing the roof whilst the sun was shining, or some such shite?

If Manchester elects him, Andrew Windsor-Mountbatten and Peter Mandelson should be immediately installed as managers of their respective Premier League teams. Life contracts with no termination clause.

Polanski feels like the Greens’ Farron. For all the positives, there is ideological baggage that will get him nailed pretty early jn a general election campaign.

It’s a perfect example of what was acceptable in popular culture in 1970s Britain that most of us are thankful is no longer popular or acceptable.

Looks like a retirement home for folks off the 1970s show The Comedians.
