Barry Town Disability Team bag one of the first trophies of the Champions League weekender, out on the floating pitch in the Bay. This started off a few years ago as a couple of mates that were 'volunteered' to be ball boys for the seniors team. It really is more about the taking part, but seriously chuffed for them, immense achievement.

As soon as a politician begins an answer with any combo of the 'let me be very clear / I have been very clear...' you just know the last thing you are going to get is a clear answer to the actual question asked.

These are the leaflets through the door so far. Yet to receive anything from Labour, Lib Dem or UKIP (they've all put up candidates). Now, at a local hustings, I would expect Cairns to get the hardest time due to the interests of the number of parties set against him. I'd expect kippers to give the conservative an easy ride as they think they are getting what they want by proxy. But I'd expect all others to be against him. That local hustings wouldn't prove a pro Labour audience bias. It would prove 50 / 60% of people are anti tory. Unfortunately getting 39% of the vote probably wins this seat. (I'm not suggesting the Pirate party or WEP are a force to be reckoned with, but this seat was once won by 19 votes)

tebahpla eht easy

So we're all agreed that last night the lefty 'coalition of chaos' were all able to easily find multiple points of agreement to attack the missing strong and stable leader. Like a school bully that's suddenly realised that 6 kids from the year below is actually too much to take on, so doesn't turn up for the big scrap behind the bikes after school. The scrap they organised on their own terms to prove how hard they were. Bottled. The little kids are still little kids. The bully is still a bully. But everyone now knows the bully isn't all that. Including the bully.

May has told us she needs an increased majority and a stop to challenges in Westminster so she would look strong in front of europe and be taken seriously in the negotiations. How's she going to u turn and flip flop that one when her own arrogance and cowardice throws away the chance she had of that big juicy majority? I just hope she keeps looking sweaty, keeps grimacing, keeps up the weird laugh and keeps going for weird personal attacks whilst repeating that brilliant strong and stable line that people have started openly laughing at.

A week to go and the PM ducked a TV debate (shitting it), then looked tired and sweaty when asked about it. Strong and Stable.

Roads closed and car parks closed, so working from home for a couple of days. I'm gonna make a right mess of the albums thread.

I would accept that from a 'thinker', from someone that knows their political reference points. She ain't deep, she's pervy.

Did the Maybot have some weird 'stirrings' today? Asking people to imagine Corbyn alone and naked? I think we briefly saw a glimpse of her cold dark psyche today. Not a people person. Likes the idea of being a bloody awkward woman. Jobs for boys and jobs for girls. Meeting with a 'pastor' that carries out exorcisms to cure people of gay. Now she thinks of Corbyn left naked and alone. Bit weird really. If a male political leader had suggested we all think of her naked and alone...

I know some supermarkets pump the smell of fresh bread around their stores. Subway have taken this idea and thought 'yes!, we'll pump the smell of warm non-specific meat grease out on to the pavement'.

But they don't even have to revise the subject they've chosen to speak on the next day. John McDonnell started his R4 interview a week ago by putting his notebook on the table. 'You've got a notebook with you' says John Humphrys. 'Yes' says JM, 'it's got the important headline numbers and facts in it, rather than me try and memorise every detail of everything'. **** political genius.

choice and therefore it should have full VAT

I believe this is a matter of public record...the names of the women and the child are easily googled.. I won't name them, embarrassing enough for those women to have had that fat clown on top of them squeezing his horn. toot toot

Well he's known for shagging around, a known repeat adulterer, so who's to say he wouldn't? At least it wouldn't result in a child this time. Funny old Boris the nation's favourite clown who can't keep his dick in his pants.

The rest of europe must be shitting themselves that May is likely to be across the table from them being all strong and stable during the negotiations. At least we'll have a good solid bench of reserves behind her. Johnson. Fox. Davis.

I've had this record 35 years and it plays like new, not a pop

@dAVe80 There was a speech from John McDonnell to open Friday, the Sandinistas were good, Stereo MC's, Eddie Tenpole...songs about Woodie Guthrie and refugees and a few heart felt rants about unions and tories. It was in the square with the Penderyn* on one side and the RMT offices on the other. Anyway, by the time they got to 3 minutes in to this song (below) people were three days in to their festival and a bit worse for wear and ready to burn shit down! *Dic Penderyn was hung in 1831 for trying to organise mine labour for better conditions. Anyway, yeah, ancient footage but zip through to 3 minutes in for a taster ...

A subtle blend of country n western and techno with a bit of a message. Merthyr Rising: Throughout May 1831 the coal miners and others who worked for William Crawshay took to the streets of Merthyr Tydfil, calling for reform, protesting against the lowering of their wages and general unemployment. Gradually the protest spread to nearby industrial towns and villages and by the end of May the whole area was in rebellion, and it is believed that for the first time the red flag of revolution was flown as a symbol of workers' revolt

end of moral argument

Just train spotting by another name. I suspect almost all males are somewhere along the autism spectrum as we love to know the name of every player, the winner of every World Cup. Then there are the hardcore train spotters and the completists. The people that know the name of the boon operators on Marvel films. The people that spend a precious life hunting down that last thing that completes a subbuteo set. I've always thought Quentin Tarrantino was a bit of a penis. His films could be brilliant, he knows his pop culture. But he can't help but go the step too far, it's the weakness of the compulsive. Then a while back he was interviewed on Six Music about his record collection. For him, he said, it wasn't enough to have a copy of this record or that tune. It had to be an original, a first pressing, a popped out jukebox version, a pristine first issue cover etc.. People that had re releases or 'best of' compilations etc., were just not up to his level in the game. Turned out he was even more of a penis than I'd imagined. Anyway, here's rutherforchang

I'm having a big sort out later this afternoon, relegating the last boxes of singles, cd's and dvd's to the garage to make a better, less cluttered space and considering a re assessment of how I file due to the number of Pressure Sounds albums. I'll see what I can find for you!
