Found it hilarious but as you say it may be too niche for most. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not really my type of music, but I used to like the simple cynicism of this one: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Weirdly I watched some Little and Large on YouTube not so long ago. It was bloody awful. Not as awful as Cannon and Ball but still so bad I can't believe that it got 15 million viewers every week. I liked it as a kid but I was easily pleased when I was ten, it seems either the adults of the 80s were the same or there was genuinely nothing better to do back then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straggler Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Is the virus only killing nice/talented/cool people? I've not heard of one single clearing in the woods that has succumbed. Whilst I'm not wishing it in anyone, if I heard that Rupert Murdoch and Trump had gone down to it'd even up the score a bit. Boris is apparently fine and only displaying minor symptoms but comics and musicians are dropping... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
