@JohnJrscarr65@antanddec@adamthomas21@ITV@jimmybullard if Jimmy had verbally abused Adam the other way round, would ppl support Jimmy in the same way they are Adam? Just a question. I don't think they would imo. Not saying who's right here and wrong, but I think ppl have preconceived what side they are on.
@HobosGuide Totally I came straight to x after wtf was that. It's going supersonic or quicker, assume it's a effect on the production but it does seem to be completely random if it's an effect.
Ok @Tim_Burgess is class. I haven't even started my tiktok journey and he's my first follower. Even if he drops me, I'm still bouncing from this. Nice one.
Oh and my new album out November 28th :)

@TaylorMod Agree,there's a consensus about half this album. I disagree. I think ppl don't listen to half the album! maybe it's ear fatigue, too sheepish, fans being lazy. Its all subjective. The nature of reality for example, that riff bangs,the lyrics - get in the sea if you turn it off :D
Suicide.
I'm choosing to be deliberately blunt and provocative in this post because it's necessary. Government, charities, football clubs are all pushing water up a hill in highlighting what is undoubtedly a major health crisis.
You take a rope.
You put it up in a garage or a tree nearby or far away.
You're thinking about every loved one you'll leave behind as you put that rope around your neck.
Then you drop.
Some are decapitated.
Some aren't.
All are found by someone who has a lifetime of trauma that will never leave them.
A son.
A daughter.
A brother.
A sister.
A mother.
A father.
I know 2 men who hung themselves.
One was found by his Mom.
One was found by his brother.
Neither have recovered fully. 20 and 30 years on.
A life sentence for people who were already worrying, terrified their loved one may do something.
So just visualise the above and ask, "is there another way"?
A segway for a moment.
I do a few Q&A's every year. Tales of yesterday with a 99% male audience of my age group.
After the stories and fun, my last question back to the audience is..
"Hands up if you struggle with a mental health issue".
Nobody ever puts a hand up. Despite 1 in every 3 of 500 attendees statistically struggling.
"Ah, nobody, that's fucking brilliant! Well I do! ". I then graphically tell people, stunned into silence about how a rope around my neck in the middle of nowhere jolted me to go home and cry like a baby to my Mom.
After the Q&A has finished, something always happens. I'll be chatting to a few guys, saying bye and one by one, men will come over and whisper " I struggle".
Or my mailbox the next day will have 30 emails from guys, their partners or kids saying " Dad/Uncle /Brother was there last night and what you said hit them hard".
And that's how some people realise that it's time to speak to a pal or family member or even rant to me in an email. It works, I often get a follow up email a year or 6 later saying that they took responsibility for their suicidal feelings and are now flying.
Humans are programmed to want to live, to have families and to keep the species growing and thriving. So for a human to want to short circuit that desire isn't normal, and it should never be spoken of as normal. It's the ultimate red flag.
If you suspect your mate, Dad, Brother, Uncle is struggling mentally, they deserve your intervention.
They deserve a " are you OK, please tell me what's up".
They deserve an opportunity to get past wanting to hang a rope over a tree or in a garage and slowly struggle until they die and you find them.
If you've been there and trust me I have plenty, then you'll know that text out of the blue, or a footie mate or one of your kids asking jow you are can open the curtains to some sunshine.
Because when suicide is your only answer, the room is already dark, and you can't see a way out.
So please, fucking pretty please, ask that husband, Dad, Uncle, Cousin, footie pal TODAY how they are.
You may be shocked what comes back but extremely glad that you asked.
For those who struggle, you're not alone.
Bot behaviour? Why is the last track so far behind the others. People give up at track 11? Sure this will correct itself, undoubtedly these will be in millions shortly anyway. Love the album, still think the industry relies on bot inflation still at times? Thoughts? #TaylorSwift
@Thefarnorthband@Britpopmemories Correct answer for me. Liam was the face of oasis. Having Noel is like putting butler,coxon,squire on there.All amazing songwriter's but not the faces of the band they were in.l but arguably the talent behind them. Although then maybe we should have the songwriters instead?
@Britpopmemories@Tim77Roberts Weller was bigger for his jam antics and style council and was doing his own mod thing at the time. He evolves, also absolutely class btw, the others remain in britpop genres. Powers was known in las and brown was roses really, that was an 89 release
@Britpopmemories@mattie_spain We could drop Noel for that reason and put in Brett? Though it does seem mad to drop Noel but face of the band I'd say was liam
@LewisCapaldi But then weve got sites and places profiteering who take them from fans who could have gone. Still happens too much sadly. So it's not sold out it's in a state of resale. Meh.
