I'm sure my rambling didn't help.

Bastille Day?

Incidentally, why aren't the Napoleonic Wars considered The First World War?

Coincidentally, my wedding anniversary in 14/07.

I hope we get an extra version of Giving Ground and Rain From Heaven with guitars! Like the live versions.

Wow!

Cheers Eastmidswhizzkid!

They really are incredible.

Jolene from the same session is on Apple Music.

Burn from the 1983 Kid Jensen session is on iTunes. Hopefully the rest will follow.

Nice sound btw and cool name Highway 101 Revisited!

Funny you should mention the Smurphs. We also have a tribute to Siouxsie and The Banshees, called The Happy Haus. The name was influenced by The Sisters of Murphy because I thought the name was a nod to Peter "Murphy" for no apparent reason.

I’m sure Murphy’s is a tribute to Irish stout.

If it is "Barbie Rock'n'Roll", here are the lyric for Dolly Parton's "Backwoods Barbie" They may be relevant. I grew up poor and ragged, just a simple country girl. I wanted to be pretty more than anything in the world, Like Barbie or the models in the Fredricks' catalog. From rags to wishes in my d...

This Corrosion?

Just watched the the Shada ‘re-animation’.

I liked it.

I’m a Douglas Adams fan and the Tom Baker era was my era of Doctor Who (watched from behind the settee- the Mona Lisa still makes me think of one eyed spaghetti monsters). Nice bit of nostalgia... Cheers.

His biggest mistake was joining the Muslim Brotherhood and becoming president of Egypt.

I've got it on my shelf but not managed to read it yet. Elements of Shada were lifted into Holistic Detective Agency, but only a small amount - typical Douglas Adams, he goes amusingly off-piste quickly! :lol: Another new Doctor Who/Douglas Adams book; https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/1111938/doctor...

It is indeed Holy Land for Christians and Promised Land for Jewish but it shall be considered No-go Land for muslims as there is no absolutely any connections between Jerusalem and Mohammed. Probably more than you think, and you don't have to look to Islamic tradition. There is archeological eviden...

...and the "Distant men and women form a line and dance in time" are ghosts or bodies of the victims of the war he was arguing against.

Quite literally forming a 'Parade of horribles'.

The parade could be a parade of horribles.

The irony being that the worse did happen.

I enjoyed the gig. Sound was better away from the mosh pit but it was fun being boisterous and being thrown at the stage during Jihad. Wish I could go again 'tomorrow'. Great seeing old friends.

Furthermore, "Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful".

However, prior to WWII it was all about protecting British access to Suez. See "A Line In The Sand".

Or 1066!

That's the point I was trying to make. This 'silly' squabble left us with the Middle East we have today. When I watch the Doimion video I imagine Eldritch playing GB and Morrison France, but I guess that's just me.

The book is more about Britain and France fighting a proxy war in the Middle East when they should have been fighting on the same side in WWI, WWII. Britain supported freedom fighters/terrorists against French rule in Syria and France supported Zionist freeedom fighters/terrorists in Palestine. This...

Didn't Eldritch boycott France for most of the 80' and 90's?

Also, rather terrifying.
