Albert Tatlock

No more fans? All eejits the lot of you

It's tough to argue against your choices, but I'm going to go out on a limb by putting KT somewhere towards the middle of the ranking. I hope I'm not flamed for that, what with me being foreign and all and therefore perhaps with a different musical heritage and take on things.

They won to keep their chances of getting out of the group on track after defeat by Ireland, who themselves then lost to Japan in the shock of the tournament so far. So their group is all over the place and if will come down to Scotland versus Japan in the last game.

Given what you’ve leaked above, I fully expect a rash of Bbop impersonators trying to cadge free drinks at certain shows.

Ta for filling in the gap.

For those not following at home, Wales won, great game

With Mrs Tatlock in tow (first Wilco show after passably enjoying JT solo last year, and not far off first decent scale rock show) the logistics of the day were always going to be skewed from the Wilco-obsessed ideal, so sorry I didn't get to have my usual nod of the head and couple of lines of chat with the main correspondent (and I would have bought him a drink of course). We arrived half way through OHHME and were standing half way back just as the floor rises to give a good full view of the band whilst still feeling close enough. Very pleased to catch HTFL I think for the first time, and

Watch out for rohypnol. Also, this gets my vote for the Independent Scotland National Anthem. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Jeu72y0f4Kc

Bbop only targets the A1 socioeconomic demographic so it's quality not quantity that brings in the big advertising bucks.

"I have updated my post" Thank God, now I can get on with my life.

In my haste to purchase for Hammersmith I dived in for the Standing option thinking that they were having a GA area on the floor. That looks like a schoolboy error since it seems clear now that there are the usual seated stalls and just a couple of lines of standing behind all of them under the edge of the circle. So I will have to console myself with the view of the back of your head. On the plus side it means there’s no point arriving early to queue and I might be able to shake a leg from time to time.

There you go - motion carried.

Fame costs ...

I'd like to see Apparel Avenue added to Banter Corner, where you also tell us what you have decided to kit yourself out in each night depending on weather, local custom, and dramatic impact - contrasting or complementing with what the band are up to. Perhaps that's better done on Instagram now that you're the Chauffeur to the Stars with a profile to maintain, but it would fit in nicely here methinks, with a thousand of your words being better than a picture.

Best visit to Banter Corner since that time at Largo. Ta.

JT told the story of how you threatened to kill a kitten unless they gave you your acting break? Sorry to let the cat out of the bag so to speak.

Ta for the catch-up.

Hope Glenn is still going totally cucumber from time to time.

This is just the sort of thing that should have been covered in the memoir. We’re still pretty much in the dark about all the real juicy detail that the fans want to know.

Ignoring the possibility of BetaMax?

Was JT feeling a little horse?

Ta (rdy) I for one mourn the passing of the Adam West drum head in favour of the eminently forgettable cream splurge that is the new album cover (though if it were a Bugsy Malone tribute that would redeem it somewhat).

I didn't realise the Tirpitz wreck was still there. I saw an X-sub in a Portsmouth museum once (though bombers got it in the end of course). Also noticed a report from biologists that the constant smoke screens deployed for 5 years stunted tree growth in the area. The wonder of Googling.
