I'm not a radio one Dj i don't hang out in clubs with children .. We did a couple of 80's songs that they did seem to know , guess The Specials just never made it to that neck of the woods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I could think of a large number of number ones better than the specials track. Its a pretty good song but not their best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted June 15, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted June 15, 2021 I think “Ghost Town” is an “important” song, for want of a better word. It certainly encapsulates that time, whether that was the case at the time or whether it’s more retrospectively I couldn’t say. So I have fair amount of respect for it. I don’t really ever find myself wanting to listen to it. If it comes on the radio, fine, happy to hear it. But I’d sooner put on “too much too young”. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A better song for sure but there is something hugely atmospheric about Ghost Town that whisks you away. Reminds me of That's Entertainment in that regards.

Popular Post El Zen Posted June 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 16, 2021 (edited) Having been fairly vocal in my frustrations over not being able to watch live football, imagine my joy when learning last night that they’ve increased the maximum fans allowed in Oslo to 600 and learning today that I’ve been given a ticket for a game tonight.

I’ve quit watching football altogether. I’ve always been a club over country type of fan anyway , but I have zero interest in watching England or any other national team . Can’t remember the last villa game I watched. I’m done with footy, it won’t get anymore of my ££££ until things improve for the match going fan. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Not sure if this is one for the cheer you up or piss you off thread. I haven’t watched a football being kicked for many years. Not the last world cup or the euros if memory serves. My grandson got in from school and asked if he can stay up and watch the england match with me on Friday. May have to acquaint myself with some footballers. Heskey is still playing for England right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
