@XMartinsMusicX Great groups. I'd add Jesus and Mary Chain; Camera Obscura; Blue Nile; Orange Juice, and probably a lot I've forgotten.

@Number10cat @TiceRichard I was 13, and we didn't have schools closed. But we did have ice cream vans coming into the school (cider pops the preferred option), water bomb fights at school, and sleeping downstairs with doors and windows open, and our family dog, Robbie, sleeping beside me. Great fun...

@WingsScotland Joey Toney-Kane is staunch English.

[Paul Roberts @PaulRoberts44]

@ScottGoetz_ Of course not. My mother was Irish, my dad English and I was born and raised in England. I support England, and also Ireland against anyone except England. That's not uncommon at all.

@dcsandbrook @TheRestHistory I always thought Nelson was a bit one-eyed in his support for England.

@WingsScotland Brazil are not that good. It seems weird to say that.

@WindianaJones1 You may be surprised to learn that EVERYONE hates the Americans.

@Number10cat @waychee1 1975 was also baking in my memory.

@boreal_dreams @CraigMurrayOrg The teams you play in the later stages don't park the bus. They try to win.

@WingsScotland It's almost like the 'Bostonians' who post are actually Scottish.

@dick_numbers @Number10cat @AndyBurnhamGM Larry could take him with one paw tied behind his back.

@MbarkCherguia And for my next trick, I pull the flags of all nations from my beak.

@BerisfordRon I'd have said Nick Drake.

@WingsScotland Tbf though she has got Bowie's Thin White Duke persona nailed. If it isn't working she should revert to Ziggy.

@Villamad5 @Jebadoo2 Dad's Army by a mile.

@jeremycorbyn Not deploying the atomic bomb against Japan would also have had huge implications in terms of allied casualties. You will never realise that not doing something also involves terrible outcomes.

[Paul Roberts @PaulRoberts44]

@campbellclaret @afneil You are shameless.

[Paul Roberts @PaulRoberts44]

@ClarkeMicah No, not needless. If Britain stood out, and France and Russia won, they'd never trust Britain again and would sort out imperial disputes between themselves, Britain get lost.

And, more likely, if Germany won, they'd have an existential threat, with no allies. No good decision.

[Paul Roberts @PaulRoberts44]

@Bbmorg Not scared, but it's a bit sad the Abrahamic religions have God a bit obsessed and worried about women's clothing. There's a closet divinity there somewhere.

[Paul Roberts @PaulRoberts44]

@Nortonhammer2 @colour_history No, not that. A huge fear that if Britain stood out, and France and Russia won, they'd never trust Britain again and would sort out imperial disputes between themselves.

And, much more likely, if Germany won, they'd have an existential threat, with no allies. No good decision.
