  1. Which one of these is the claim for starters? which version of the Bible is it you are talking about? The Bible isn't one book, it is thousands of different books all written to suit different agendas. there is no constant definitive bible
  2. You also don't have to accept that claim. I don't accept it because of the nebulous nature of the claim itself
  3. What utter rubbish, its been rewritten that many times to suit that many agendas that its the ancient equivalent of Katie Hopkins tweet
  4. Yes, that sounds just like him. He was never the superstar type, just a genuinely nice person
  5. Yes a few times back in the Communards days. I ended up doing a bit of ancilliary work on quite a few dates of theirs (Crash barriers) so I'd be around backstage before and after shows. We chatted a couple of times and were on nodding terms for a while
  6. It is, good version too
  7. How daft, you can open a tab here with your card, they take a reading from it and hand it back. You then take it to the bar when you've finished, if you forget, they can then still put the payment through.
  8. He is currently the Reverend Richard Coles, he was formerly half of the '80s pop combo The Communards with Jimmy Summerville. He is also gay
  9. Not heard that one but I always liked the version by The Flowerpot Men (not the 60's ones or the puppets), the late '80s / early '90s Indie ones
  10. He'll forever be remembered for this. Which many might know for the dreadful Paul Weller cover. I just discovered that even Cher recorded it as a single but it's been covered by lots of artists. RIP EDIT: for the record, the Cher version is worse than Weller's
  11. So when does Labour's new MP for Peterborough get removed from the party for anti-semitism? Because as apologies go, that was as weak as a weak thing
  12. Nope the metro is standard gauge
  13. Mr Rhyming Slang getting a fair bit of urine extracted out of him over his latest video. He's also the Queen's second cousin which seems to be omitted from the little roll of honour
  14. Sorry but even the headline insulted my intelligence The word didn't exist until the 19th Century On your link the explanation given for Leviticus 18:22 & 20:13 It asks us to take this ina particular context. It doesn't matter what context you take it in, it absolutely does not encompass everything as listed in the above quote. So, sorry, the person who wrote it is having very generous thoughts but is talking absolute twaddle
  15. Another compilation. Though this is more of the flogging a dead horse type. All Stax records tracks. I think I bught this second hand a long time ago for the DJ set (Emergency records for covering all bases), probably for Booker T and Eddie Floyd. But it does have some great tracks other than those on it too
  16. They funded his disasterous buyout of M Local from Morrisons
  17. I may have posted this before. The absolutely iconic Pillows and Prayers - A Cherry Red Label Compilation that sold for 99p or less. Even back in 1982 they were essentially giving these away. Plenty more labels followed suit with these cheap sampler LPs but this was always amongst the best, hardly a really duff track on it, an eclectic mix, even though Everything but the Girl between the two of them appear four times. Ben Watt and Tracey Thorn have a solo track each, The Marine Girls one and EBTG another.. It does kind of flow correctly as an album though. A truely democratic album, it was cheaper than a single, everyone could afford it and nearly everyone I knew who was into the Indie side of the music scene back then, owned a copy.
  18. Killdozer - For Ladies only. An album of covers, it's really not that good, in fact it's mainly awful save for the version of American Pie, which is the reason I bought it and the reason I shall keep it. But as an album, nah
