The Sick Moon

Yeah, it's amazing really that that WT clip preceded British punk by several years.

Some might consider that an attractive trait.

I suppose not. But they were a bit silly.

Check the very end of this out! Rofl....

He's the man who famously didn't fawn all over the New York Dolls. Who were American.

Ironically, the torque delivery properties of electric motors lend themselves to sprint format competitions.

Snowflakes don't kill people, err, avalanches do.

Oh well, as Meatloaf almost sang when they played on the island, nought out of two ain't bad.

Hmm. Isn't it a) Hinds and b) China Crisis?

I bet it's a bit limp though.

There's some thing very satisfying about a load of previously über smug, perma tanned, sausage munching squareheads snivelling and grovelling on televisions all over the world. As our old gran used to say, when delivering her summary on the wisdom of European integration, "You can never trust a German!" Does anyone know, what is German for schadenfreude?

Well! Don't dwell on the blinkered ignorance of a couple of desperate dicks on Manx Forums! The Villa is hosting a celebration of our common cultural heritage, with local Manx singer Mandy Griffin leading the way at the Manx Last Night of the Proms. All the favourites to be cherished! Land of Hope and Glory! Jerusalem! Rule Brittania! Get your flags out! And wave them! I suggest a nice local triskelion flag. Or a Union Jack. Or indeed, why not make a statement of our cultural crossover and take both! Sweet.....! It's our heritage..... "Manx Last Night of the Proms returns Two island bands are promising a party atmosphere at this year’s Manx Last Night of the Proms. The evening, which follows the same format as the traditional Last Night of the Proms held at the Royal Albert Hall, takes place at the Gaiety Theatre on Saturday next week (September 26). The Manx Youth Band and Manx Concert Brass will be joined by four-times Cleveland Medal winner Mandy Griffin. The bands’ musical director, Ian Clague, said: ‘This is one of our major concerts of the year and we look forward to welcoming regular “promenaders” and new audience members alike. ‘The players also enjoy the party atmosphere, and whilst the first half of the evening tends to have a slightly more serious feel, we all look forward to everyone singing and clapping along with the music in the second half.’ The bands will open the first half of the concert, with pieces including Franz Von Suppe’s ‘Light Cavalry’ Overture and a selection of music associated with Fred Astaire, while Mandy will perform Benjamin Britten’s ‘Cabaret Songs’. Following the interval, the tempo and excitement continues to build towards the traditional finale. The second half kicks off with the spirited ‘Radetzky March’ by Johann Strauss, giving the audience a chance to see if they can keep up with the band! Rodgers and Hammerstein fans will be delighted to hear that the second half will also see Mandy rejoining the bands to perform a selection of songs from ‘The Sound Of Music’. The audience will be encouraged to wave their flags and fly their streamers, both of which will be available on the night from the Gaiety foyer, as the party atmosphere takes over with Mandy rejoining the bands to lead the singing of traditional Proms favourites, including Rule Britannia, Jerusalem and Land of Hope and Glory. The Manx Youth Band and Manx Concert Brass have been running the Manx Last Night of the Proms for over 25 years and this is the sixth year that it has been back in the Gaiety, after a short stint at the Villa Marina. The concert begins at 7.30pm."

Oh yes.
