I think you're lumping a lot of people who just like Beatles stuff in with these so-called "chin strokers" you seem to spend your time with. Pretty much anyone who's into the Beatles enough to have their albums would have the two Past Masters compilations because they contained all the non-album stuff. they're hardly niche, completist, hard to find bootlegs. Past Masters 2 has We Can work it Out, Rain and the Inner Light which I think are great, it also has Old Brown Shoe, The ballad of John and Yoko and You Know My Name which I'm not so keen on, although TBoJ&Y does seem to become an earworm whenever it's mentioned. I don't really think the above opinion books me a spot in Pseud's Corner. While we're at it, Let it Be - possibly my least favourite of all their songs!

Some of my favourite Beatles songs are listed above! Personally, I've never been keen on Eleanor Rigby. Never really been able to work out why - I suspect it could be the string arrangement but then I think Yesterday and She's Leaving Home are among their best. Weird. In what way do you think it is over-rated?

I'm fascinated by this but I don't think I can see it. Are you talking about the bit that looks like a dodgy heart-shaped pond?

*chuckle* It's certainly going to upset some people. Popcorn popping as we speak.

Wasn't totally wasted - I got it.

Just sayin'.

Seems legit.

By what metric?

Yep. Thanks Loob. Nice to read things which agree with me 😁.

Well, I assume that once they've spent it all somebody else will be able to spend it.

Can't say to be honest - it's a very vague memory which I had completely forgotten about until I read your post. All I really remember is everything kicking off and me and the couple of people I was with being bundled somewhere for safety. I guess all my memories of being in there are rather faint due to the time and state we used to arrive.

Spend it again.

I'll add to that that there are vaste swathes of so-called "working class" hard line brexiters who are absolutely paranoid that their precious brexit is going to be stolen from them. So much so that any challenging of the current government is seen by them purely as an anti-brexit move.

We just knew it as the Spanish Bar and I vaguely remember being there on a night similar to the one you describe. Possibly a later repeat, though; I think I would have been going there 94 - 98 ish.

Nope. No assumptions made by me. Seems unusual you didn't read the article, though, since that's what the thread is about. Perhaps you assumed some of it's content.
