He should put those records back in their covers! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NedihG7pyk&feature=related

I thought you were named after them, what with you being a Bestival person.

New 7" by the Bees.

Watch this with sound down first, and try and imagine what they soundlike ... http://www.wimp.com/wronggig/

There was a big tower in their horrible campus that had several suicides a year.* Lancaster was quite a nice town actually, but the campus was a good few miles outside and very 60's architecture. St Martins College in the town itself had a beautiful little campus however. Or "Distinguished Educators of Central Lancashire". *Wiki says one in 1990.

No, though it's not unreasonable to think that they would on an online forum. You didn't! There was an awful lot of snobbery around the name change actually, which lead to the name we have now. For some reason Preston University was deemed to lack gravitas, Lancashire University upset the suicide factory up the A6, then the initials annoyed some upstarts in London.

With respect Frances, the UCL in Preston had been teaching to degree standard and doing research for years before the name change.

Lancs Poly (Or do you mean immediately after the name change? Generally, it was referred to as UCL at least locally. Not like anyone would confuse it with the University College London is it?)

I hate it when people call it UCLAN. Nobody ever referred to it as UCLAN when the name first changed. It's an ugly affectation.

I too wonder why there is a fixation on the Tories as our saviours. They are after all the Consetvative & Unionist Party. They don't have a conviction in favour of self-determination of the nations of the British Isles. And is our Government close to them in approach - public ownership of utilities, public transport, the airport? How about their feelings on big government? Can an incoming UK Government redraft the Vat agreement again.

I hate hippies - Richard Branson, Tony Blair, Dave Gilmour, Bill Clinton, Bob Harris, George Bush, baby boomers who retired at 50 but demand everyone else works to 70. Vile generation they inherited a World that had defeated Nazism & Communism and preceded to start a war with Islam. Were the first generation to benefit from Universal health care and pensions. First generation to benefit from free mass higher education starts by means testing grants and tuition fees. Lectured their parents about freedom and introduces waterboarding and detention without trial. Were gonna change the World and become the first generation to leave the World in a worse state than they found it.

Whether global warming is man made or not doesn't rest on Al Gore's credibility. He blew that with Man-Bear-Pig! So no that didn't give me cause to doubt the overwhelming evidence.

That is good isn't it. I got mine from Rough Trade and it came with a mix cd they'd done and it's all these crackly tracks from 78's like Audrey Hepburn doing Moon River, and Icelandic Choirs.

I'm kistening to Stuart Maconnie's a Freak Zone he's just played an enjoyable fun by Brazilian Stereolab wannabes. Then spoilt it all by playing a trailler for blooming Guy Garvey's show.

Everton are signing Ras?

I hope that post isn't intended as a threat Skrappey?

Where?

Correct.

Which is the only clubs that have won the Charity Shield but have never won the FA Cup or the top division?

I count 10 - Tom Finney Billy Wright Bobby Charlton Bobby Moore Peter Shilton Bryan Robson Terry Butcher David Beckham Michael Owen Sol Campbell Plus Banks and Ferdinand who played in two and were nonplaying squad member in another.

2 - Pele?

Rangers go through did they?

The answer is correct. (I admit to cheating with New Brighton Tower - but Chesterfield Town resigned in 1909) New Brighton and New Brighton Tower were different teams. Chesterfield Town - Here & Here. say they weren't re-elected in 1909.

New Brighton weren't re-elected, however, New Brighton Tower resigned. Chesterfield Town weren't re-elected either
