Not sure where you mean by 'here'? It was never a 'made up phrase used by the British establishment'.
Many English-speakers in Ireland may not use the word, but they would all know what the word means - it is on the stamps and the coins, after all. Those in the Gaeltacht - where Irish is still...
It's hard to know if you typed that with a straight face. What a 'brave new world' that would be.
And as for Valerie Solanas - I'm with Lou on that crazy lunatic.
No doubt. But you could say that about any comment, especially those designed to shock. Personal loss will always affect how we express ourselves. 'You wouldn't say that if...'
A really good example of why you shouldn't read The Guardian. The article reports Moz as saying the 'Norwegian killings are nothing...' whereas what he actually says is 'We all live in a murderous world, as the events in Norway have shown, with 97 [sic] dead. Though that is nothing compared to...

The intro to Suedehead always gives me shivers down the back of my neck. Just like it did when I first heard it back in 1988. Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive!
Maybe. I think Johnny has simply started to believe his own hype. He's undoubtedly one of the most sought after musicians in the world today. And he thinks this would have happened to him anyway with or without Morrissey. Working with Morrissey has become an embarrassing footnote. He thinks his...
Who’s the most talented person you’ve worked with during your time as a songwriter and musician?
Where would I start?...
Not with Morrissey clearly. How very sad.
