Yes, I really like that album too, particularly this song and that song. I saw them once in '86 but I should really check out their other albums. Has anyone got any recommendations? What are your top 5?

There are two phrases that really really annoy me on some soccer boards I read: "at this level" which got stab-your-eyes-out bad during the world cup and has thankfully waned in popularity, and "spot on" which is used by many American soccer fans to sound knowledgable (and for most of them, that means English - not that there's anything wrong with that!).
Yes, I'm cranky. Pay no attention.
Like me, the "g" is silent.

MDM - you'd love some of the football/soccer commentary on our TV. My particular favourites are
"At the end of the day..." and
"He's set his stall out", sometimes extended to "He's set his stall out early doors".
On the subject of this thread:
"I prefer his older stuff" and anything that has the word "seminal" in it.
