Too much arse

Jesus, don't let some people here see the front cover of Hand In Glove. The conservative f***s will lose their mind.

Thinking of Born to Harangue, here particularly. Guy will be sobbing and crying "THINK OF THE CHILDREN" while simultaneously cry wanking himself to fatigue at the sight of this OBSCENE image.

I got that e-mail this morning and expected news of a 12" reissue. Instead it's just a stupid e-mail about 40th anniversary. So what we already knew that. That's spam in my opinion.

And here we are, 40 years later...

Lol, Wimpys were very popular in the uk in the 70s and 80s, burgers and chips, egg and chips, breakfasts etc. A cafe where people would hang out.

I only just found out (via Wikipedia) that it was started in the States, and is now big in South Africa! (Always thought it was just a weird British thing.)

Aren’t there loads of threads about whether Moz likes a bender in his buns?

We should have an online party to celebrate that 40th anniversary. Is that a thing?

Could be, but you do realize from now until 2027 there is going to be 40th anniversary celebrations for 17 singles and 8 albums, which is cool because they all deserve it
